INVESTIGATION, DESIGN, AND TEST OF EXPERIMENTAL LIQUID HYDROGEN PUMPS.
Abstract
A summary is given of research and development progress on the study, design, and testing of an experimental liquid hydrogen pump for flight vehicle systems. Program aims are: (1) materials selection, (2) mechanical design and manufacture of a piston-type pump, (3) testing of pump performance throughout the quality range of 0 to 100% at a pump inlet pressure of 3 atmospheres (absolute), (4) delivering a variable mass flow from 2 to 12 1b/hr at a discharge pressure of 1200 psia throughout the entire inlet quality range, and (5) testing toward an objective of 300 hours of operation on one piston and cylinder.
