Feed system

Ceaser

  • “I looked into the potential of controlling the mass flow rate of the pressurant with the feed system rather than the ox and fuel. This has the opportunity of halving the number of needed valves, however more research needs to be done on digitalizing mass flow, considerations with the n2o and controlling the mass ratio”
