Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the design, the test facility, and the test results of an Advanced Liquid Hydrogen Turbopump for a 30,000 pound (22,679 kg) thrust Upper Stage Expander Cycle Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney Liquid Space Propulsion under contract for the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to support the Integrated High Payoff Rocket Technology (IHPRPT) program. The Advanced Liquid Hydrogen Turbopump is designed to provide improved system thrust to weight, decreased hardware/support costs, and increased reliability. These benefits will be accomplished and demonstrated through design, development, and test of this high speed, high efficiency, two stage hydrogen turbopump capable of supplying 16 lb m/sec (7.3 kg/sec.) of liquid hydrogen at 4600 psia (323.4 kg/sq cm).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pratt & Whitney has developed a high performance Radial Inflow Turbine (RIT) to power the Advanced Liquid Hydrogen Turbopump (ALH) for the Upper Stage Demonstrator engine. The design is based on Pratt & Whitney developed RIT methodology that reduces axial length and tip diameter compared to state-of-the-art RIT's, while maintaining or exceeding existing performance levels. The full power speed is very high delivering ruined power to the pump. Included are the design characteristics and preliminary test results at low speed.

This book was released on 2018-07-08 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interface criteria for the Turbopump Test article (TPA) and the Component Test Facility located at NASA, Stennis Space Center is defined by this interface Control Document (ICD). TPA ICD Volume 2 is submitted for the Cold Gas Drive Turbopump Test Article, which is generally similar but incorporates certain changes, particularly in fluid requirements and in instrumentation needs. For the purposes of this ICD, the test article consists of the Hot Fire Drive Turbopump mounted on its test cart, readied for installation in the component test facility. It should be emphasized that the LH2 turbopump program is still in its early concept design phase. Design of the turbopump, test cart, and spools are subject to revisions until successful conclusion of the Detail Design Review (DDR). Lindley, Bruce Unspecified Center...

This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An advanced LOX/LH2 expander cycle rocket engine, producing 15,000 lbf thrust for Orbital Transfer Vehicle missions, was tested to determine ignition, transition, and main stage characteristics. Detail design and fabrication of the pump fed RS44 integrated component evaluator (ICE) was accomplished using company discretionary resources and was tested under this contracted effort. Successful demonstrations were completed to about the 50 percent fuel turbopump power level (87,000 RPM), but during this last test, a high pressure fuel turbopump (HPFTP) bearing failed curtailing the test program. No other hardware were affected by the HPFTP premature shutdown. The ICE operations matched well with the predicted start transient simulations. The tests demonstrated the feasibility of a high performance advanced expander cycle engine. All engine components operated nominally, except for the HPFTP, during the engine hot-fire tests. A failure investigation was completed using company discretionary resources. Sutton, R. F. and Lariviere, B. W.

Download or read book Study Design and Test of Experimental Liquid Hydrogen Pump for Use in Flight Vehicle Systems written by ROCKETDYNE CANOGA PARK CALIF. and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of the analytical test and design efforts of an 8-month liquid hydrogen micropump feasibility study program are presented. A generalized analytical study was performed to evaluate the types of pumps which might be applicable to pump two-phase hydrogen at 2 to 12 lb/hr. Based on the results of this study, a singleplunger, positive displacement pump was selected as the type best suited to meet the design requirements. Detailed analyses and design studies of piston pumps were performed. The selected piston pump was designed, and a performance analysis was completed. (Author).
