Hello all,
Are there any issues operating at a relatively low chamber pressure for an
engine ~180-220psi other than the poor Isp. For a pressure fed rocket with
a relatively high thrust to weight ratio the benefits of using a lower
chamber pressure are really tempting, but I imagine there are some design
challenges that I am unaware of. My main concerns are difficult ignition or
possible flame out but I don't really know.
Thank you,
