An analysis was completed for determination of the most promising hydrocarbon fuels for use with flox in upper stage rocket engines. Experimental rocket firings in uncooled, transpiration cooled, and regeneratively cooled thrust chambers were conducted using flox with methane, propane, butene-1, and a eutectic blend of pentane and isopentane. Experimental heated tube heat transfer and hypergolicity tests were conducted, and laboratory determinations of physical properties of various blends of hydrocarbon compounds were made.
