Abstract
Theoretical analysis was made on the composition and thermodynamic parameters of combustion products of 2,2'-bis(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) in oxygen in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. 2,2'-Bis(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) can potentially be used as a fuel component in combustion chambers of liquid rocket engines for the first-stage launch vehicles. The average molar mass of approximately 26 amu., obtained for products formed in combustion of 2,2'-bis(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) in oxygen is close to similar values for methane in oxygen, whereas its density is more than twice the density of liquid methane. This circumstance makes it possible to hope that the mass of storage tanks can be made smaller if 2,2'-bis(bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) is used for rockets, compared with the mass of storage tanks containing an equivalent amount of methane. The results obtained can be used to calculate nozzle profiles and combustion chamber parameters of a liquid jet propulsion engines.
