  1. 1. Preliminary Design and Conceptual Analysis of an Electrically Actuated Pintle Injector

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Simone Guietti; [2024]
    Keywords : Pintle injector; space propulsion; space engineering;

    Abstract : ”The Eagle has landed”. With this words, astronaut Neil Armstrong, together with astronaut Edwin ”Buzz” Aldrin, confirmed the safe landing on the Moon of the Apollo11 on July 20th, 1969. This achievement would have never been possible without the engineering behind the construction of the Moon lander. READ MORE

    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

  4. 3. Conceptualisation, Implementation and Commissioning of a Controlled Pyrolysis Rig : KTH Master Thesis Report

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

    Author : Arjun Monga; [2023]
    Keywords : coke deposition; pyrolysis; catalysis; methane; sample; cooling channels; regenerative cooling; rocket engines; koksavsättning; pyrolys; katalys; metan; prov; kylkanaler; regenerativ kylning; raketmotorer;

    Abstract : Liquid methane has seen popular interest from industry and academia as a next-generation rocket fuel due to its favorable performance characteristics and potential for extra-terrestrial in-situ resource utilisation. Since the rocket combustion chamber and nozzle are subject to high heat loads, regenerative cooling is a standard method to achieve lower temperatures. READ MORE

  5. 4. Automated High-Temperature Pressure Sensor Verification and Characterization

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Algirdas Bartkevicius; [2023]
    Keywords : Pressure sensor; sensor verification; sensor characterization; piezoelectric sensor; dynamic pressure sensor;

    Abstract : Gas turbines are widely used in power generation. Monitoring pressure variations in the combustion chamber allows for real-time assessment of the turbines performance, and can be used to optimize combustion processes, leading to reduced emissions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulation of Combustion in a Hybrid Rocket Engine

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Oscar Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Thesis; Hybrid Rocket Engine; CFD; computational fluid dynamics; combustion;

    Abstract : A numerical investigation on the combustion mechanics of a hybrid rocket engine is performed through unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation. The hybrid rocket engine model is based on an experimental laboratory scale engine design operating on GOX and HDPE as a propellant. READ MORE
