DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A FLUIDIC CHAMBER PRESSURE CONTROL SUBSYSTEM FOR A NUCLEAR ROCKET ENGINE

A design concept for a nuclear-rocket-engine design philosophy than is used in comercia1 fluidic system. Static and dynamic fluidic subsystem requirements for the nuclear-rocket engine are examined in terms of performance, calculations, and test data. fluidic-chamber pressure-control subsystem is pre- sented together w ith t he development approach used for the major components, Nuclear-rocket engine system performance requirements dictate a different
