Non-Steady Operating Regimes of Liquid Rocket Engines

Abstract

In the book are examined the operation of liquid-propellant rocket engines under nonstationary conditions and transient conditions, dynamic processes and some questions of statics. There are considered differential equations, which characterize the operation of separate units and the engine on the whole during launching, at midcourse and during shutdown. There are discussed fundamentals of the theory of injectors, some questions of carburetion and burning; there is offered derivation of the formula for determination of combustion delay. The connection is established between this delay and the physical properties of the propellant components. The operation of basic units of the feed system is described, is given derivation of the universal equation of the tank pressurizing system and equations which characterize intratank processes are given. There are offered a clear graphic-analytical method and methods of calculations of an engine with the aid of differential equations and with the use of computer technology. The materials discussed in the book can be used during thorough research and calculation of a liquid-propellant rocket engine and its units.
