  1. 1. Preliminary Design of a 30 kN Methane-Oxygen-powered Electric-Pump-fed Liquid Rocket Propulsion System

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Vikramjeet Das; [2023]
    Keywords : rocket engine; liquid rocket; methalox; electropump; LRPS; LPRE; liquid methane; electric pump feed system;

    Abstract : The design of a liquid rocket propulsion system, unlike that of a standalone system, is intertwined with the overall development of a number of associated systems and is influenced by a multitude of conditions and considerations: from the requirements needed to accomplish the mission to the rationalizations involved behind the development of each rocket system and/or component. In my thesis, the preliminary design of a “new generation” 30 kN rocket engine driven by an electric pump feed system and running on liquid methane and liquid oxygen is performed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimization and Additive Manufacturing for HPGP Rocket Engines

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Jessie Stachowicz; [2022]
    Keywords : Additive Manufacturing; Rocket Propulsion; Nozzle Design; Computational Fluid Dynamics; CFD; Nasa CEA; DED; PBF; High Performance Gas Propulsion; ADNbasedPropellant; CD Nozzle; Additiv tillverkning; raketframdrivningssytem; munstycksdesign; beräkningsflödesanalys; CFD; Nasa CEA; DED; PBF; högpresterande gasframdrivning; ADNbasedPropellant; Konvergerande-divergerande munstycken;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate whether additive manufacturing is applicable in manufacturing the 1N thruster option that Bradford Ecaps offers. Therefore, the nozzle design is of particular interest as AM provides accessibilities to manufacturing complex structures. READ MORE

  4. 3. Rocket Jet Impinging on a Surface

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Javier Capel Jorquera; [2022]
    Keywords : Rocket jet impinging on a surface; Favre-Averaged Equations; turbulence modeling; numerical considerations; Method of Characteristics; MOC; plate optimization;

    Abstract : With the continuous growth of the space industry and the introduction of reusable rockets, the number of rocket launches is expected to increase significantly in the following years. During rocket launching, the engine exhaust impinges on the launch structure producing a complex flow field. READ MORE

  5. 4. Parametric study on hybrid rocket propulsion system performance measured by the system specific impulse

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

    Author : Adam Bussmann; [2022]
    Keywords : Hybrid; Hybrid propulsion; Hybrid propulsion system; System specific impulse;

    Abstract : Hybrid rocket motors have become of great international interest during the last couple of years. A hybrid rocket motor is propelled by the use of a solid fuel and a liquid oxidizer. The fundamental principle of the hybrid propelled system is that the liquid oxidizer is injected into a combustion chamber to enable the combustion of the solid fuel. READ MORE

  6. 5. Parametric Study of Separation in Outlet Diffuser of Rocket Nozzle Cooling Channel Rig : The Effect of Heat Flux and Angle of Outlet Diffuser for Rectangular-to-Circular Cross Section Transitions

    University essay from KTH/Farkostteknik och Solidmekanik; KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Hector Älfvåg; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The use of natural gas with high methane content as rocket fuel has gained substantial industrial attention over the past number of years. Several actors including SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing natural gas powered rocket engines. READ MORE
