Resumen
MIRANDA, E. N.. What fuel for a rocket?. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2003, vol.49, n.2, pp.191-193. ISSN 0035-001X.
Elementary concepts from general physics and thermodynamics have been used to analyze rocket propulsion. Making some reasonable assumptions, an expression for the exit velocity of the gases is found. From that expression one can conclude what are the desired properties for a rocket fuel.
Palabras llave : Rocket propulsion; thermodynamics teaching.
