Abstract: Tertiary perfluorocycloamines (TPFCAs) of general formula (1) where n=1 or 2, m=2 or 3, X is wherein at n=2 X is as the basis for gas transport emulsions. TPFCAs comprise a group of compounds which are close in their physicochemical properties to perfluoro-N-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-piperidine, particularly in the critical temperature of dissolution in hexane, and which are used in a mixture, forming a number of compounds with gradually varying characteristics. Owing to this, a greater homogeneity of the fluorocarbon phase is achievable in the emulsions and it becomes possible to enhance the stability of the emulsion particles stabilized by an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer, with the absence of toxicity for large animals. A mixture of TPFCAs is prepared by electrochemical fluorination of n-piperidinoheptafluorotoluene in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of rocketry and more precisely to liquid-propellant rocket engines and to rocket power units. This invention essentially relates to a method for increasing the specific impulse in a liquid-propellant rocket engine by using oxygen as well as a hydrocarbon fuel consisting of dicyclobutyl (C8H14). The dicyclobutyl provides for a substantial increase in the specific impulse of the liquid-propellant rocket engine when compared with kerosene. This invention also relates to a power unit for a rocket that has tanks for liquid oxygen and for the hydrocarbon fuel. Since the fuel tank is filled with dicyclobutyl (C8H14), it is thus possible to increase the thrust, the specific impulse, as well as the in-flight operation duration of the engine, and to reduce the weight of the tanks without any substantial change in the circuits of the liquid-propellant rocket engine and of the rocket power unit.

Furthermore, a device for filling the ampoule with fuel is located in a partition of the body inside the ampoule. A guaranteed cutting of the diaphragm along the entire perimeter and reproduction of hydraulic characteristics for the flow part of the ampoule are achieved in this ampoule design.
