Specific Impulse and Ignition Delay Time Assessment for DMAZ with Liquid Oxidizers for an Upper Stage Rocket Engine

2-Dimethyl amino ethyl azide (DMAZ) has attracted much attention as a suitable liquid fuel replacement for monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) and unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH) in propellant systems because, in contrast to these fuels, it is noncarcinogen. In this research, performance, and ignition delay time of DMAZ were studied with common liquid oxidizers such as inhibited red fuming n...

Hybrid-Knowledge-Models-Based Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Strategies for Liquid-propellant Rocket Engines

This paper focuses on a qualitative fault diagnosis method based on the integration and fusion of shallow and deep knowledge for liquid-propellant rocket engines (LRE). The paper firstly clarifies the concept and the types of LRE diagnosis knowledge. Later, from the isomorphic transform point of view, the paper analyses the correlation of different knowledge and knowledge representation, and fo...

Thrust Vector Control of an Upper-Stage Rocket with Multiple Propellant Slosh Modes

The thrust vector control problem for an upper-stage rocket with propellant slosh dynamics is considered. The control inputs are defined by the gimbal deflection angle of a main engine and a pitchingmoment about the center of mass of the spacecraft. The rocket acceleration due to themain engine thrust is assumed to be large enough so that surface tension forces do not significantly affect the p...

Dispersion of Toxic Exhausts from Liquid Rocket Propellant Combustion 25 Dispersion of Toxic Exhausts from Liquid Rocket Propellant Combustion

Environmental impact assessment of liquid rocket motor exhaust obtained due to mainly liquid propellant combustion have been highlighted. Exhaust product analysis has been carried out theoretically by computer software NASA CEC -71 to identify toxic emissions of rocket combustion. In the present study a high volume Air Samplers (APM-430) was deployed at predetermined locations near launch pad f...
