  1. 1. Development and characterization of multi-streams heat exchangers for liquefaction cycle analysis in the contextof hydrogen mobility

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

    Author : WULLSCHLEGER LÉA; [2023]
    Keywords : Liquefaction cycle; multi-streams heat exchanger; Matlab; PROOSIS; AMESIM; ArianeGroup;

    Abstract : This paper presents the master thesis work done at ArianeGroup on the development and characterization of multi-streams heat exchangers for liquefaction cycle analysis in the context of hydrogen mobility. In 2015, the Paris Agreements aimed at strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping the temperature rise below 1. READ MORE

  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. Design of a modular small-scale PMMA/Air hybrid rocket research engine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Gustaf von Platen; [2023]
    Keywords : hybrid rocket engine; PMMA combustion; rocket engine design; combustion diagnostics; rocket engine; regression rate; preliminary design definition; hybrid rocket engine simulation; gaseous oxidizer; transparent rocket engine;

    Abstract : Rocket propulsion using the hybrid-propellant scheme is a technology that offers much promise in applications where high-performance liquid rocket engines are deemed too complex and solid rocket motors are considered to lack performance or safety. However, despite extensive research, there is still a lack of knowledge in the theoretical aspects of hybrid rocketry, especially in the area of fuel-oxidizer mixing and fuel regression rate.

  5. 5. Numerical Approach to the Design and Optimisation of a Bi-Propellant Pintle Injector

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Erik Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : pintle injector; optimisation; propulsion; liquid propellant;

    Abstract : Rocket propulsion is of vital importance for space travel. New innovations are continuously developed in order to facilitate the demand of the rapidly evolving space sector. Recently a focus on reusable rockets has appeared due to the economical and environmental benefits they bring. READ MORE
