RPA: Design Tool for Liquid Rocket Engine Analysis

RPA (Rocket Propulsion Analysis) is a design tool for the performance prediction of the liquidpropellant rocket engines. RPA is written in Java and can be used under any operating system that has installed Java Runtime Environment (e.g. Mac OS ® X, Sun SolarisTM, MS WindowsTM, any Linux etc). The tool can be used either as a standalone GUI application or as an object-oriented library. This docu...

Multidimensional Unstructured-Grid Liquid Rocket Engine Nozzle Performance and Heat Transfer Analysis

The objectives of this study are to conduct a unified computational analysis for computing the design parameters such as axial thrust, convective and radiative wall heat fluxes for liquid rocket engine nozzles, so as to develop a computational strategy for computing those design parameters through parametric investigations. The computational methodology is based on a multidimensional, frOte-vol...

The Blacklight Rocket Engine

Executive Summary This report summarizes the final project results for the period of May 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 for the NIAC CP 01-02 Phase I study, "The BlackLight Rocket Engine". The objective of the Phase I study was to assess the potential of low pressure, mixed gas hydrogen plasmas (i.e. the BlackLight Process) toward the development of high performance space propulsion systems.
