  1. 1. Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis of HPGP Thruster

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Lisa Svensson; [2024]
    Keywords : aerospace; HPGP; ECAPS; ANSYS; conjugate heat transfer; thruster; space;

    Abstract : This master's thesis was conducted in collaboration with ECAPS, where a conjugate heat transfer analysis on their High Performance Green Propulsion (HPGP) 22N thruster was done. ECAPS is a Swedish propulsion company specializing in green propulsion. They develop thrusters for spacecraft orbit and attitude control, utilizing the propellant LMP-103S. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design of a modular small-scale PMMA/Air hybrid rocket research engine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Gustaf von Platen; [2023]
    Keywords : hybrid rocket engine; PMMA combustion; rocket engine design; combustion diagnostics; rocket engine; regression rate; preliminary design definition; hybrid rocket engine simulation; gaseous oxidizer; transparent rocket engine;

    Abstract : Rocket propulsion using the hybrid-propellant scheme is a technology that offers much promise in applications where high-performance liquid rocket engines are deemed too complex and solid rocket motors are considered to lack performance or safety. However, despite extensive research, there is still a lack of knowledge in the theoretical aspects of hybrid rocketry, especially in the area of fuel-oxidizer mixing and fuel regression rate.
