  1. 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)

    Author : Jennifer Ly; [2023]
    Keywords : Correlational method; gas analysis; real time measurements; speed of sound; thermal conductivity; methane pyrolysis; rocket nozzle cooling; Korrelationsmetod; gasanalys; mätningar i real tid; ljudhastighet; värmeledningsförmåga; metanpyrolys; kylning av raketmunstycken iv;

    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. 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)

    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

  3. 3. 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. 4. CFD Analysis of Engine Room Temperature : CFD Analysis of Engine Room Temperature: Case study The Grange Castle Power Plant Project

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : William Wanli; [2023]
    Keywords : CFD Computational Fluid Dynamics; ventilation system; temperature; airflow; engine room.;

    Abstract : Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as an indispensable tool in various engineering fields, particularly in the design and optimization of HVAC systems in complex environments, such as engine rooms. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of CFD applications and focuses on the engine rooms of the Grange Castle Power Plant in Dublin, Ireland. READ MORE

  5. 5. Pre-study and Conceptual Design of a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Driven Wheel Loader

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Jana Caspari; Pijus Bernatavicius; [2022]
    Keywords : PEM fuel cell; hydrogen; drive cycle analysis; large-size wheel loader; architecture generation; packaging;

    Abstract : Volvo Construction Equipment is one of the leading construction machinery manufacturers in the world. To stay amongst the leaders, research and development projects for new technologies are crucial. The most important path of development today is the reduction of emissions produced by these heavy duty vehicles. READ MORE
