# RocketCEA Functions

## CEA_Obj Functions

RocketCEA wraps the NASA FORTRAN CEA code and provides some useful tools.

RocketCEA makes direct calls to the FORTRAN CEA code in “rocket” mode to calculate Isp, Cstar, Tcham etc. and provides tools to help determine useful mixture ratio range, optimum MR and more.

  Get the propellant float value of the reference temperature ‘t(k)’

`rocketcea.blends.``get_propellant_name`(Name=None, PcentL=None)

      #: Return the name of the blend defined by "Name". (string or list of strings)
      #: Might be a defined blend such as MON25 or FLOX80.
      #: Might be in the library such as "MMH" or "CLF5"
      #: Might need to create a long name from percentages Name=["N2H4","NH3"], PcentL=[90,10]
      #:   (if new name, add card to oxCards, fuelCards or propCards)

`rocketcea.blends.``giveCardMassPercent`(card, fuelPcent)

  set the value of mass percentage (wt%) on propellant card.

`rocketcea.blends.``giveCardNewHfAndTref`(card, newHfCalPerMole, newTrefDegR)

  Change the values of “h,cal” and “t(k)” on propellant cards.

`rocketcea.blends.``isAPeroxide_Blend`(name)

  check if name is for a blend of peroxide and water. Peroxide98 and Peroxide90 are in standard deck, however can make Peroxide95 etc. “on-the-fly”

`rocketcea.blends.``isAnMMH_N2H4_Blend`(name)

  check if name is for a blend of MMH + N2H4 M20 is in standard deck, however can make M10, M30 etc. “on-the-fly”

`rocketcea.blends.``isFLOX_Ox_Blend`(name)

  check for FLOX oxidizer (e.g. FLOX70 or FLOX82.5) No FLOX blends are in standard deck, however can make FLOX70, FLOX82.5 etc. “on-the-fly”

`rocketcea.blends.``isMON_Ox_Blend`(name)

  check for MON oxidizer (MON1 to MON40) 48% is theoretical max MON15 and MON25 are in standard deck, however can make MON20, MON30 etc. “on-the-fly”

`rocketcea.blends.``is_HYD_Ammonia_Blend`(name)

  check if name is for a blend of N2H4 and undissociated Ammonia (UA) HYD40 is in standard deck, however can make HYD30, HYD50 etc. “on-the-fly”

`rocketcea.blends.``makeCardForNewTemperature`(ceaName='CH4', newTdegR=536.0, CpAve=0.791, MolWt=16.04)

  Create a new propellant card that reflects a change in temperature of the propellant from the original reference temperature on the original card to the new input value of temperature, newTdegR.

  CpAve = BTU/lbm degR

`rocketcea.blends.``newFuelBlend`(fuelL=None, fuelPcentL=None)

  create fuel blends such as M20 given the fuel names and weight percentages. e.g. fuelL=[“MMH”,”N2H4”], fuelPcentL=[20,80]

`rocketcea.blends.``newFuelWithNewState`(name, newHfCalPerMole, newTrefDegR)

  Take name as it exists in fuelCards and change Hf and Tref to be the input values newHfCalPerMole and newTrefDegR

`rocketcea.blends.``newOxBlend`(oxL=None, oxPcentL=None)

  create ox blends such as MON25 given the oxidizer names and weight percentages. e.g. oxL=[“N2O4”,”N2O3”], oxPcentL=[36.67,63.33]

`rocketcea.blends.``newOxWithNewState`(name, newHfCalPerMole, newTrefDegR)

  Take name as it exists in oxCards and change Hf and Tref to be the input values newHfCalPerMole and newTrefDegR

`rocketcea.blends.``newPropWithNewState`(cardDict, name, newHfCalPerMole, newTrefDegR)

  Take name as it exists in fuelCards or oxCards and change Hf and Tref to be the input values newHfCalPerMole and newTrefDegR

`rocketcea.blends.``renamePropIfNewHfOrTrefInName`(cardDict, name)

  Look for “h,cal OR “t(k)”” in name. If present, then create new modified name and create new card in cardDict if necessary

  for example to tweak LH2 run might look like: “LH2 h,cal=-2155.0 t(k)=21.0”

`rocketcea.blends.``tightenUpEquals`(card)

  make sure there’s no spaces around equal signs.

`rocketcea.blends.``turnCardsIntoTokenL`(cardL)

  turn the card list into one long list of tokens
