Detailed Description

Nothing burns unless both propellants reach the chamber.

A one-sided flow used to be evaluated at mixture ratio zero, which the c* table
clamps to its leanest point: on the ethalox stand, the step after the LOX tank
ran dry read 3,480 N from fuel alone. Checked against what happens in a
chamber: one liquid passing through the throat is not combustion, so the
chamber is at ambient and makes no thrust -- for the CEA chamber and for an
engine card alike.
