Mathematical model of the propellant tank pressurization system with respect of heat exchange Vitalii Alieksieienko ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0000-8317-0096 Oles Honchar Dnipro National University Valerii Bucharskyi ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8245-5652 Oles Honchar Dnipro National University The pressurization system for launch vehicle fuel tanks is designed to maintain excess pressure in the gas cushion of the tanks according to the calculated dependency, determined by the requirements for the supply of fuel components and the tank design. To achieve this, it is necessary to coordinate the …

Differential model of the LPRE chamber cooling channel Valerii Bucharskyi ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8245-5652 Oles Honchar Dnipro National University Volodymyr Sliusariev ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0004-2883-7467 Oles Honchar Dnipro National University In a liquid rocket engine, the cooling channels of the chamber significantly impacts various system parameters. It limits the permissible mass ratio of fuel components, affects the required pump power, and largely determines the layout and weight of not just the chamber, but the entire engine. Consequently, due to the numerous interrelated parameters, making …
