ABSTRACT:
A HAN TEAN mixing gas generator pressurization system is proposed for use on pressure-fed rockets. HAN (hydroxyl ammonium nitrate) and TEAN (triethanol ammonium nitrate) are salts dissolved in water to form a single liquid propellant. Combustion of HAN TEAN results in water, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen at high temperatures and pressures. A cryogenic primary working fluid is mixed the HAN TEAN exhaust products to provide warm high-pressure gas to pressurize the rocket's main propellant tanks.
