  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. An Evaluation Study of Leak Testing Technologies for Watertight Plate Heat Exchangers : Fast and sustainable leak testing technology for high energy efficiency products

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för matematik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Fritjof Nilsson; Yanjun Peng; [2023]
    Keywords : Leak rate; Optimization; Pressure Decay; Vacuum Technology; Volume; Läckhastighet; Optimering; Tryckfall; Vakuum Teknologi; Volym;

    Abstract : Background: One part of manufacturing a Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE) is to leak test them before delivery. Today, helium is used extensively in leak testing. How-ever, it is unsustainable to use helium in leak testing, because of its non-renewability and therefore becoming more and more expensive. Also, this technology is relatively complex. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of Lamps of IRF Solar Simulator

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Mrunmayee Sonna; [2023]
    Keywords : IRF; Solar simulator; Characterization; Thermal simulations; Systema-Thermica; Autodesk Inventor; correlated results;

    Abstract : The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) at Kiruna focuses on research activities in the ionosphere, magnetosphere, and upper atmosphere of the planet as well as the development and production of various sensors and detectors for space research. The test facility includes the IRF SpaceLab which is equipped with multiple testing equipment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Virtual Sensing for Cluster Vacuum Control

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Carl Egenäs; Axel Sacilotto; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to develop a virtual sensing model in order to estimate the vacuum level in the milking cluster with data collected further along the milk tube. Measuring the cluster vacuum level is desirable for many applications, such as control and monitoring, but due to the cow's tendency to kick, chew and stomp on anything within reach, placing a sensor in or close to the cluster is both difficult and impractical.

  6. 5. 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
