RPA: Design Tool for Liquid Rocket Engine Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
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 document presents the equations used for the combustion equilibrium and performance calculations. Results obtained from implementing these equations will be compared with results from equilibrium codes CEA2 and TDC.

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...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Stability Analysis of a Liquid Propellant Combustor
A theoretical study analyzing three-dimensional combustion acoustic instabilities in a liquid propellant rocket engine combustor has been conducted. A linear theory based on Crocco’s pressure sensitive time lag model is used. To apply this theory the combustor is divided into two main components, including the combustion chamber and the converging part of the nozzle. The assumption of concentra...
