Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A functional diagram showing the flow of propellant through an RS-25 engine. Very high flow rates are needed in the main combustion chamber, so the energy to achieve this is generated in upstream combustion "pre-burner" chambers that generate a partial burn to drive the high pressure turbopumps on both the fuel and oxidizer sides. Pressure feeding the preburners is maintained by the low-pressure turbopumps. Routing fuel through the nozzle serves to both cool the nozzle as well as pre-heat the fuel.
