Description:
A new procedure, dubbed the Munich Method, has been proposed recently for the modeling of rocket engine performance. The author of the Munich Method claims it to be an extension and improvement of the thermodynamic procedures used to model rocket engines in the NASA-Lewis chemical equilibrium program. An examination of the Munich Method shows that it contains several flaws. If these defects are corrected then the Munich Method will produce results identical to those generated by the NASA-Lewis Code.
