Rocket Engine Cycles - Everyday Astronaut
WEBApr 28, 2022 — This article discusses different types of rocket engine cycles, from pressure-fed through gas generator, to full-flow staged combustion.
Expander cycle - Wikipedia
WEBThe expander cycle is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine. In this cycle, the fuel is used to cool the engine's combustion chamber, picking up heat and changing phase. The now heated and gaseous fuel then powers the turbine that drives the engine's fuel and oxidizer pumps before being injected into the combustion chamber and burned.
A Comparison of Different Rocket Engine Cycles Throughout the …
WEBMar 15, 2023 — Explore the revolutionary rocket schemes that have been developed over centuries, and learn about the pros and cons of kinds of rocket engine cycles.
Staged combustion cycle - Wikipedia
WEBThe staged combustion cycle (sometimes known as topping cycle, preburner cycle, or closed cycle) is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine. In the staged combustion cycle, propellant flows through multiple combustion chambers, and is …
Gas-generator cycle - Wikipedia
WEBThe gas-generator cycle, also called open cycle, is one of the most commonly used power cycles in bipropellant liquid rocket engines. Propellant is burned in a gas generator (or "preburner") and the resulting hot gas is used to power the propellant pumps before being exhausted overboard and lost.

WEBThe most common of these are the bi-propellant gas generator (G.G.) cycle, the expander cycle and the staged combustion cycle. (a) The Gas Generator Cycle. The GG cycle was used in the F1 engine, and is also in use in the Delta II, Atlas and Titan rockets.
Inside The J-2X Doghouse: The Gas-Generator Cycle Engine
WEBDec 15, 2010 — The most common rocket engine cycles are the gas-generator cycle (examples include J-2X, J-2, F-1, RS-68, and Vulcain 2 – see pictures above), the expander cycle (examples include RL10 and Vinci), and the staged-combustion cycle (examples include Space Shuttle Main Engine and RS-170/180).
Rocket Engine Cycles (Pump Cycles): Unveiling How Rocket …
WEBThe types of pump cycles range from very simple cycle types like cold gas thrusters to more and more complicated ones like the famous full-flow staged combustion. There are four main types of pump designs used in various rocket engines.
Gas Generator Cycle - The Space Techie
WEBJul 9, 2021 — The gas generator cycle is one of the most commonly used power cycles in a bipropellant liquid rocket engine. Let us understand the working of a typical Gas generator cycle-based engine using the below diagram.
Gas-generator Cycle – Definition & Detailed Explanation – …
WEBApr 7, 2024 — The Gas-generator Cycle is a type of rocket engine cycle used in propulsion systems. It is a method of powering a rocket engine by burning a fuel and oxidizer mixture to produce high-pressure gas, which is then used to generate thrust.
