Liquid rocket engine performance assessment in the context of small launcher optimisation
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents a fast mathematical model that can be used to quickly asses the propulsive characteristics of liquid propelled rocket engines. The main propulsive parameters are computed using combustion surfaces obtained after a nonlinear data fitting analysis. This approach is much more time efficient than using standard codes which rely on frequent calls of the Fuel Combustion Charts and interpolating their data. The tool developed based on the proposed mathematical model can be used separately or it can be integrated in a multidisciplinary optimisation algorithm for a preliminary microlauncher design.
