COMBUSTION CHAMBER

A “combustion chamber” is the component of a rocket engine where the combustion of propellants takes place. It is the location where fuel and oxidizer are mixed and react to generate a large amount of heat and high-pressure gases. The combustion chamber is designed to safely and efficiently contain and control this reaction. It can have different configurations and features, such as injectors for propellant introduction, cooled walls to prevent overheating, and combustion control systems.

This is a complex geometry that would never be made in a single-step process.
