  1. 1. Evaluating the Performance of Propulsion System Elements in an Aerospace Company

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Författare :David Fredouelle; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Turbomachinery; injector; test campaign; cryogenic; rocket engine; test bench; cold flow; Turbomaskin; injektor; testkampanj; kryogen; raketmotor; testbänk; kallt flöde;

    Sammanfattning : This paper examines two examples of testing activities of sub-components of a 300kN methalox first-stage rocket engine developed by Pangea Aerospace, namely, theinjectors and the cryogenic pumps. One of the difficulties of these test campaignsis to evaluate the performances of these sub-components without using cryogenicpropellants and in conditions differing from flight conditions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Conceptual design of the next generation gas turbines : Modelling of a hybrid electric mixed turbofan for a trainer aircraft

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Författare :Sophia Fisher; Michael Åkerström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Hybrid propulsion; mixed turbofan; parallel configuration; performance;

    Sammanfattning : To mitigate climate change, all sectors must contribute their part. Electric propulsion system is a promising approach to reduce emissions from the aviation industry. A major challenge is however the low energy density in today’s battery technology. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Preliminary Design of a 30 kN Methane-Oxygen-powered Electric-Pump-fed Liquid Rocket Propulsion System

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Vikramjeet Das; [2023]
    Nyckelord :rocket engine; liquid rocket; methalox; electropump; LRPS; LPRE; liquid methane; electric pump feed system;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Concept investigation into Metal Plasma Source for High Powered Space Applications

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Ludvig Borg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :High-powered; Electric Propulsion; Vacuum Arc Thruster; VASIMR; Metal Plasma; Magnetohydrodynamics; COMSOL Multiphysics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the potential of utilizing metal-based plasma sources as a sustainable solution for high-powered electric propulsion and its implications for future interplanetary travel. Focusing on the Vacuum Arc Thruster and the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket engine, the study encompasses numerical simulations, analytical comparisons, and performance analyses to assess the feasibility of metal plasma fuels in space missions.

  7. 5. Forced response numerical investigation of a transonic compressor rotor

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Mariana Pires Gonçalves Toco Dias; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Compressor; rotor; blisk; aeroelasticity; aerodynamic damping; CFD; transient; forced response;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis discusses the forced response of a rotor’s bladed-disk when excited by the periodic force produced by a wake generator, or Inlet Guide Vane (IGV),with 8 equally-spaced blades. These components are part of an axial transonic compressor rig, moreover the Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 1 (TCD1), located at the Technical University of Darmstadt. LÄS MER
