Book excerpt: The necessity for experimental verification of rocket-engine performance at altitude or near-space conditions has long been recognized in the aerospace industry. Recent spacecraft rocket-engine research and development trends toward higher area ratios, advanced nozzle concepts, and nonequilibrium flow conside ations have made altitude simulation a requirement of development pro- grams. Recause the need for information regarding the capabilities and char- acteristics of altitude test facilities that are suitable for l%id-rocket%- engine operation was recognized, this survey was compiled with the help of representatives of industry and government agencies;% % INTROPUCTION The advent of upper-stage and spacecraft engine-vehicle development pro- grams along with the need for more rigorous performance and reliability data justified the construction of a number of altitude test facilities. The test capabilities of these facilities range from small attitude-control engines to large upper-stage engines. The altitude-simulating systems include simple diffusers coupled to the engine nozzle exit (fig. 1), steam ejector coupled to the engine-driven diffuser (fig. 2), and pumped environmental chambers coupled to a diffuser or ejector system for use during engine firing (fig. 3). Several techniques for vacuum generation exist. In addition to the conventional sys- tems of mechanical pumps and steam boilers for stem% ejectors, there are semi- portable liquid-propellant-driven steam generators.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In context with its Symposium on 'Turbine Engine Testing' it has been the aim of the Propulsion and Energetics Panel of AGARD to offer to the NATO community a survey on air-breathing engine test facilities which are presently available in NATO countries. It was concluded that the main interest is focussed on test facilities for research and development of aero-engines to be used as prime thrusters. Consequently production and post-overhaul acceptance test facilities are not to be found in this register, even though in some cases they have been used for special investigations. In this book the reader will find a fairly complete survey of organizations which operate altitude and sea level test facilities for turbo-jet (including turbo-fan), ram-jet, and turbo-shaft engines. Though the book cannot claim comprehensiveness its initial working title was kept but the word register should not be understood in its prime sense and official meaning. Summary information about the test capacity of organizations and more detailed data for a number of individual test cells are offered and may be used for quick comparison and survey or for a preliminary selection of test facilities which the reader may wish to use in his research and development programmes.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Rocket Propulsion written by DP Mishra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book follows a unified approach to present the basic principles of rocket propulsion in concise and lucid form. This textbook comprises of ten chapters ranging from brief introduction and elements of rocket propulsion, aerothermodynamics to solid, liquid and hybrid propellant rocket engines with chapter on electrical propulsion. Worked out examples are also provided at the end of chapter for understanding uncertainty analysis. This book is designed and developed as an introductory text on the fundamental aspects of rocket propulsion for both undergraduate and graduate students. It is also aimed towards practicing engineers in the field of space engineering. This comprehensive guide also provides adequate problems for audience to understand intricate aspects of rocket propulsion enabling them to design and develop rocket engines for peaceful purposes.

Book excerpt: The NASA Glenn History Office has undertaken the task of documenting many of its historic facilities. Histories of the Icing Research Tunnel, Plum Brook Reactor Facility, Rocket Engine Test Facility, and Altitude Wind Tunnel have been published. These books demonstrate the significance of each facility to the nation's aerospace community while sharing personal stories of some of the unsung researchers, mechanics, and technicians who performed ground-breaking research and made the giant facilities run. It is hoped that this publication continues this tradition. The Propulsion Systems Laboratory SL No. 1 and 2 facility was determined to be eligible for, but was not listed on, the National Register for Historic Places. Glenn's History Program and Historic Preservation Officer worked with the Ohio State Historic Preservation Officer to develop a plan to document PSL's contributions and distribute that information to the public. This effort included collecting documents from Glenn Records Management holdings, the History Office archives, retirees, and other sources. Hundreds of photographs, films, and documents were digitized. In addition, a thorough photographic survey was performed, and two graphical renderings of the facility were created. The collected information was distilled for the public and NASA communities into this publication, an exhibit display, and a website to be shared with the public and NASA employees.
