    This document contains 5 questions regarding the design of liquid propellant rocket engines. Question 1 involves designing an engine with a main and auxiliary nozzle that produces specific impulses of 400s and 250s respectively using kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants. It asks for the fraction of propellants supplied to the gas generator, the oxidizer-to-fuel ratio of the thruster, and the total specific impulse. Question 2 involves sizing the nozzle throat and determining propellant mass flow rates for an engine with given thrust, chamber pressure, and oxidizer-to-fuel ratio using monomethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide propellants. It also asks for the diameter of injection holes for a doublet

    AE 662: Rocket Engine Design

    Assignment No: 3

    Q1.
    A semi-cryogenic (Liquid Kerosene + LO2) liquid propellant rocket engine based on
    gas generator feed cycle is designed to produce ISP of 400 s and 250 s by the main thruster
    and auxiliary nozzle. The stoichiometric OFR is used for main thruster while OFR of 0.7 is
    used for gas generator. The temperature of gas generator is restricted to 1000 K. The pressure
    change across the kerosene ( = 950 kg/m3) and liquid oxygen ( = 1150 kg/m3) pumps can
    be 4 and 6 MPa respectively. The isentropic efficiencies of kerosene and LOX pumps are
    0.85 and 0.8 respectively. If the molecular weight and specific heat ratio of combustion
    products from gas generator happen to be 1.5 kg/kmol and 1.28 respectively, determine the
    fraction of propellants to be supplied to gas generator, OFR of thruster and total specific
    impulse.
    Q2.
    A liquid propellant (MMH +N2O4) rocket engine is used to develop a thrust of 1.2 kN
    with characteristics velocity of 2050 m/s at chamber pressure of 0.85 MPa and OFR of 1.6. If
    its thrust coefficient, CF happens to be 1.65, determine (i) throat of nozzle, (ii)
    & 24 . For this 10 elements doublet impinging injection system is used with
    injection pressure of 1.5 MPa and discharge coefficient of 0.96. By considering MMH and
    N2O2 to be 868 and 1410 kg/m3, determine diameter of injection holes.
    Q3.
    Determine the volume of gas tank at 15 MPa needed to pressurize H2O2 propellant
    tank at 3.5 MPa in rocket engine produces 10 kN at chamber pressure of 1.8 MPa for 40 s.
    Assume that 1.5% extra propellant is to be provided for safe operation.
    Q4.
    In a rocket engine, the combustion chamber with 1.2 m long and 0.4 m diameter at
    pressure 18 MPa and 3200 K produces 10 kN. The flow through the combustion chamber 15
    in the range of 5x107. The outer surface temperature of Stainless steel (ks = 29 W/m. K)
    chamber wall with thickness of 2.9 mm is maintained at 230 K. The thermal conductivity
    (kg) and Prandtl of combustion gases in combustion chamber happen to be 0.19 W/m. K and
    0.75 respectively. If the radiation is around 30 % of total heat flux to the wall, determine
    inner surface wall temperature and total heat flux to the wall. State all assumptions made by
    you for solving this problem.
    Q5.
    A rocket engine is operated at 1.8 MPa and 3200 K, when coolant temperature (TC) is
    maintained at 300 K. The hot wall at throat with thickness (L) 3.2 mm is maintained at 1000
    K. The thermal conductivity of throat wall and (kw) and heat transfer of coolant (hu) are 25
    W/m. K and 0.8 MW/m3.K respectively. Assuming (L/kw), TL and hL and fraction of
    radiative heat transfer remain constant, determine the chamber process when Twh is increased
    to 1250 K with the new material, at the throat.
