I will make a plasma container like those used in nuclear reactors and I will launch that rocket, You'll see ;) Thanks for you help!

Awesome. I'm going to include this in my graduation project. can you help me find a specific equation that could solve for the required energy input for creating that plasma

if we hypothetically had a material that would withstand the high pressure/temperature .would it work?

What I mean is can we treat the steam rocket as a thermal battery. we store a huge amount of energy through heating and then launch. The power plant charges the rocket once not constantly. for example if a rocket a mass flow rate of 2,430 kg/sec would require 1000 Gjoules of input energy then we...

But even if the power differs those two systems have completely different reactions. one is combustion and the other is straight expansion because of ;pressure deference,Maybe the combustion has less efficiency ? :/ Also I'm kind mixed up with what exactly I am looking for. Why do we care about...

I just want to see how much power should I provide to a steam rocket as heat to make it have a same thrust and mass flow rate of NASA's Delta 2 rocket

it will be heated with a 400 MW power plant then a high insulation layer will contain it

imagine we had a meta-material that can withstand such temp.

It's hard to determine the flow of an unsteady two-phase fluid

it has the exact area of this rocket engine. But I don't know how to calculate the exit area of the nozzle Rocketdyne RS-27A Propellants: LOX/RP-1 Kerosene O/F Ratio: 2.245 Dry Weight: 2,528 lbs T/W Ratio (sl): 79.11 T/W Ratio (vac): 93.75 Length: 149 inches Diameter: 67 inches Expansion Area...

Hey, Suppose you have an enclosed vessel that is full of water. You heat it up then you open a valve, and that will create enough thrust for it to act as a rocket. How much energy is needed for a steam rocket to get heated enough to achieve a mass flow rate of 2430 Kg/s. Mass of water= 256...

So I'm trying to make a Hot-Water Rocket. But I want to make the necessary thermodynamics calculations first. What kind of flow will it be in such systems I think it's obviously going to be an unsteady flow but is it uniform or not? I also would love if you guys linked me to unsteady...

inb4 "google it", I did. There aren't a lot of information about this topic. Can a Hot Water Rocket or a Steam rocket ever succeed to reach outer space? I can calculate the exhaust velocity by determining the change in enthalpy I guess but I don't in which state will it exist in and how can I...

I meant stirling* btw
