New Contour Design Method for Rocket Nozzle of Large Area Ratio

A rocket engine for space propulsion usually has a nozzle of a large exit area ratio. The nozzle efficiency is greatly affected by the nozzle contour. This paper analysed the effect of the constant capacity ratio in Rao’s method through the design process of an apogee engine. The calculation results...
