The combustion characteristics of a staged cycle engine with an oxidizer-rich preburner were experimentally studied at different momentum ratios multi-element injectors. Propellants simultaneously supplied as liquid–liquid–liquid system, and injector was designed in which swirl coaxial jet is sprayed. burned the propellants inner chamber had temperature greater than 2000 K. To cool gas, liquid ...

Design and analysis of propellant grain configurations for determination of the grain geometry which is an important and critical step in the design of solid propellant rocket motors, because accurate calculation of grain geometrical properties plays a vital role in performance prediction. The performance prediction of the solid rocket motor can be achieved easily if the burn back steps of the ...

to establish the location and shape of a Iiquid/vapor interface in a liquid container, thus enabling liquid A demonstration system for the ultrasonic gauging of volume measurement [I,21. fluids in low-gravity has been designed and tested. For purposes of simplification, it was assumed that vapor Typically, in propellant storage applications, the liquid within a liquid container in low-gravity w...

A colloid thruster functions by electrostatically generating and accelerating sub-micron droplets of propellant to high velocities. The technology is attractive because of the weight and size of the integrated package, its high efficiency, low power consumption and inert propellant. The development of the thruster prototype at Stanford University is aimed for a proof-of-concept flight-testing o...

A sub-micronewton level thrust stand is used to evaluate the performance of five different microthrusters. Using a torsional balance design, the JPL microthrust stand (μTS) is capable of measuring steady-state thrust as low as 1 μN with sub-micronewton resolution and an impulse as low as 1 μNs with sub-micronewton-second resolution. The μTS can support a test object with a mass as large as 10 k...

During the development stage of a space vehicle, instrumented tests are carried out on ground to prove operational capacity each liquid-propellant rocket engine, which is installed in this type vehicle. The task elaborating Test Bench project for propulsion unit with application complex and involves several steps, one these steps being related analysis bench meet algorithms rocket-engine full r...
