1. Calibration of the Measurement System for Methane Pyrolysis in Rocket Nozzle Cooling Channels
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : Methane-based rocket propellant is gaining traction as a green technology with advantages in sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and performance. However, under high temperatures found in rocket nozzle cooling channels, methane can undergo thermal decomposition known as methane pyrolysis, resulting in the generation of hydrogen and solid carbon.

2. Conceptualisation, Implementation and Commissioning of a Controlled Pyrolysis Rig : KTH Master Thesis Report
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)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

3. Preliminary Design of a 30 kN Methane-Oxygen-powered Electric-Pump-fed Liquid Rocket Propulsion System
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : 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. CFD investigation of a unit cell inside a Plate Heat Exchanger
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. READ MORE

5. Experimental study on the effect of rocket nozzle wall materials on the stability of methane
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : There has recently been an increased interest in methane as a rocket propellant due to its physical properties as well as the possibility of in-situ resource utilization in places like Mars. As part of ESA’s Future Launcher Preparatory Program, KTH in cooperation with GKN Aerospace has started the MERiT program, which seeks to study the characteristics of methane under conditions found in rocket nozzle cooling channels.
