Encyclopedia of Oxidizers

Eckart W. Schmidt

About this book

Encyclopedia of Oxidizers contains information on both liquid and solid oxidizers. When selecting combinations of bipropellants, hypergolic or nonhypergolic, it is usually the oxidizer that determines the reactivity of the combination once oxidizer and fuel meet in the rocket engine combustion chamber. The choice of oxidizers has less of an impact on the specifi c impulse than the choice of fuels with their widely varying hydrogen content.
