Description
Hydrazine is the perfect fuel for space exploration as it requires no oxidiser to combust, only needing heat or a spark. It is more commonly stored in its liquid form Liquid Hydrazine which is stable at room temperature. Hydrazine is extremely reactive and will violently combust in the presence of an oxidiser. It is extremely toxic to all forms of life.
- Stationpedia
Hydrazine or N2H4 is a Hypergol. Hydrazine will spontaneously autoignite at 520.8 K (247.7°C), or at any temperature in the presence of Oxygen, Ozone or Nitrous Oxide.
Combustion
- 1x
= 4x 
+ 302 kJ (Autoignites at 520.808 K (247.7 °C))
Usage
See also: Fuel
Hydrazine has a low combustion enthalpy, making it suboptimal for rocketry applications that require high performance. However, the fact it is a monopropellant allows its use in a Pumped Gas Engine or Pressure-Fed Liquid Engine without requiring any premixing, simplifying rocket and/or launch pad design.
Notes
- Hydrazine is extremely toxic to all forms of life, causing damage in concentrations above 0.1% for plants, or 1kPa for Humans and Zrilians. The increased toxicity to plants is only shared with Hydrochloric Acid.
