Fundamental Concepts of Liquid-Propellant Rocket Engines

Part of the book series: Springer Aerospace Technology ((SAT))

Abstract

Control systems are necessary in rocket engines to regulate parameters (such as pressure in the combustion chamber, thrust magnitude and direction, and propellant mixture ratio and consumption) during normal engine operation and also during start-up and shut-down transients. The principal actuators used for control functions (such as valves, regulators, pressure switches, and flow controls) are described here.
