DeepFreeze: Glykerol ISRU #3

Closed LouisB3 closed 3 years ago

LouisB3 commented 3 years ago

DeepFreeze: C/H/O -> Glykerol.

Pending revision to CRP definition for density.

LouisB3 commented 3 years ago

PR has been merged to CRP for glykerol density (now 0.0012).

Glycerol is C3H8O3. There are lots of resources in RR that represent these elements, alone or in combination. Possible conversions:

Carbon + LqdHydrogen + Oxidizer = Glykerol. Emphasizes use of existing, widely supported propellant resources.
Water + Carbon = Glykerol, + Oxygen (or Oxidizer?) as a byproduct. Emphasizes use of widely supported non-propellant resources.
Wikipedia mentions that glycerol is produced synthetically from propylene, a hydrocarbon that would be represented in KSP by... LiquidFuel (kerosene)?
