Rocket Simulation with RocketCEA

About RocketCEA

RocketCEA is a Python wrapper for NASA's Chemical Equilibrium with Applications (CEA) program. It allows engineers and researchers to calculate theoretical rocket performance parameters.

My Learning Journey

I'm currently practicing with RocketCEA to understand rocket propulsion systems better. Through these simulations, I can analyze:

• Specific impulse (Isp) calculations
• Combustion chamber conditions
• Nozzle expansion ratios
• Propellant mixture ratios
• Thermochemical properties of various propellants

Example Code

Future Goals

I plan to expand my simulations to include:

• Comparing different propellant combinations
• Optimizing nozzle designs
• Analyzing cooling requirements
• Integrating with trajectory simulations
