Popis: The chemical properties of the fuels are crucial for obtaining the numerical accuracy during the design and performance analysis in case of liquid fuel propelled rocket engines, as well as the trajectory optimization. In this paper, the research was primarly focused on optimizing the numerical accuracy for non-linear two-dimensional approximation the Fuel Combustion Charts; secondarily, the investigation was carried on the design of the bell-nozzle of a liquid propelled rocket engine, taking into account the variation of the coefficients which are significant for expressing the fuels chemical properties. From the Fuel Combustion Charts, the authors selected a the LOX - Kerosene combination for propelling the rocket engine, due to the most convenient matching with the technology and material specifications, safety and environmental friendly requirements; from the LOX-Kerosene Charts, the authors have originally developed a method to obtain the expression of a non-linear approximation function of two variables. The design of the bell shaped nozzle and combustion chamber for a liquid propelled rocket engine was included, in purpose to illustrate the link between the LPRE design and the fuels types and chemical properties.
