In a liquid rocket engine, propellants are pumped into a combustion chamber. They react chemically to produce extreme heat and pressure. This gas is then accelerated through a De Laval nozzle. The nozzle is shaped to transition the flow from subsonic to supersonic speeds, maximizing the momentum of the exhaust. Core Engineering Principles and the solutions will follow."
