This cutaway area shows the double-walled nature of the burner cups. Fuel, delivered from the turbopump, enters the area between the two walls comprising the thrust chamber at the six alcohol inlets near the thrust chamber's exit plane. The fuel flows forward, providing regenerative cooling, to these burner cups, flowing through the fuel injectors, where it is mixed with liquid oxygen and burned.
