Performance Analysis of a Liquid/Gel Rocket Engine During Operation

This open access book takes space propulsion system, gel propulsion system, and pumped liquid rocket engine as research objects and establishes and describes the theory, dynamic model, and numerical calculation method of working process of liquid/gel rocket engine. The first part of this book establishes a mathematical model for the working process of the space propulsion system, including a mathematical model for gas cylinders, an electric explosion valve, a pressure reducing valve, a storage tank, a liquid pipeline, an orifice and filter, an electromagnetic valve, a filling pipeline, and a thrust chamber. The simulation analyzes the characteristics of the start-up, steady-state, and shutdown processes of the space propulsion system. In the second part, the mathematical model of the working process of gel propulsion system is established, and the flow distribution law, water hammer characteristics, and thrust regulation characteristics of gel propulsion system are simulated and analyzed. The third part establishes a mathematical model for the working process of a pumped liquid rocket engine and simulates and analyzes the starting process characteristics of the pumped liquid…
