A thermal design approach for combustion chambers cooled with water at supercritical pressure and subcritical temperature is described which is based on the available data for water, and high heat flux data for nine other supercritical pressure coolants. The use of water for cooling is beneficial because it leads to reduced costs compared to liquid hydrogen cooling. The design approach chosen has been used to design a watercooled calorimeter chamber and a water cooled 'workhorse' chamber for testing a new high pressure LO2/hydrocarbon injector.
