  1. 1. Evaluating the Performance of Propulsion System Elements in an Aerospace Company

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : David Fredouelle; [2023]
    Keywords : Turbomachinery; injector; test campaign; cryogenic; rocket engine; test bench; cold flow; Turbomaskin; injektor; testkampanj; kryogen; raketmotor; testbänk; kallt flöde;

    Abstract : This paper examines two examples of testing activities of sub-components of a 300kN methalox first-stage rocket engine developed by Pangea Aerospace, namely, theinjectors and the cryogenic pumps. One of the difficulties of these test campaignsis to evaluate the performances of these sub-components without using cryogenicpropellants and in conditions differing from flight conditions.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Centrifugal Turbopumps - Flow Physics and Modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Carl Eriksson; Hampus Henåker; [2021]
    Keywords : Centrifugal Pumps; Rocket Science; Turbopumps; Two-Zone Model; Impeller; Vaneless Diffuser; Vaned Diffuser; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Choices made in the early stages of a design process are crucial. They dictate many of the limitations and freedoms the designer has in later stages of the design. Informed decisions are therefore crucial at this stage. READ MORE

  5. 4. Conceptual Design of an Air-Launched Three-Staged Orbital Launch Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Måns Rasmussen; [2021]
    Keywords : Air-launched; Launch Vehicle; Three-staged; Rocket; Sun-Synchronous orbit; Solid propellant; Liquid propellant; Trajectory optimization; Nonlinear programming; JAS 39 Gripen; Fighter aircraft; Luftlanserad; Trestegsraket; Solsynkron bana; Fast bränsle; Flytande bränsle; Bananalys; Icke-linjär optimering; JAS 39 Gripen; Jaktflygplan;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to design a launch vehicle capable of deploying a nanosatellite into a Sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km orbital altitude from the JAS 39E/F Gripen fighter aircraft. This was achieved by first performing theoretical calculations for the required nozzles and solid propellant grain configurations for the first two solid stages, followed by the necessary liquid propellant configuration for the third stage.

  6. 5. Probabilistic Multidisciplinary Design Optimization on a high-pressure sandwich wall in a rocket engine application

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Dennis Wahlström; [2017]
    Keywords : Multidisciplinary Design Optimization; Analytical Target Cascading; Multidisciplinary Feasible; Space Nozzle; Ariane; Expander Cycle Engine; Upper stage space rocket engine; Probabilistic; Augmented Lagrangian relaxation; Finite element; Solid Mechanics; Thermodynamics; Aerodynamics; Industrial approach; Latin Hypercube Sampling; Factorial Analysis; Analysis of Variance;

    Abstract : A need to find better achievement has always been required in the space industrythrough time. Advanced technologies are provided to accomplish goals for humanityfor space explorer and space missions, to apprehend answers and widen knowledges. READ MORE
