The value typically quoted is 20 lbm/in^2/minute. Lower values are likely better, but increase engine size. Unless Ben is with a university or government, he is very unlikely to find any 85% peroxide - I *strongly* urge him not to attempt concentrating it from lower concentrations, like 35% or 50%. Doing it wrong can result in an explosion.

They worked with silver and 85% peroxide, and they found that above a certain value of lb/sec of peroxide per in^2 of catalyst, they flooded the catalyst. I forget that number, but since it's forty years old, fairly readily available, and has been discussed here before, we can certainly post it again to save Ben a search through the archives. >> _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
