    摘要: Devices and methods of rocket propulsion are disclosed. In one aspect, a staged combustion liquid rocket engine with preburner and turbopump unit (TPU) integrated into the structure of the combustion chamber is described. An initial propellant mixture is combusted in a preburner combustion chamber formed as an annulus around a main combustion chamber, the combustion products from the preburner driving the turbine of the TPU and subsequently injected into the main combustion chamber for secondary combustion along with additional propellants, generating thrust through a supersonic nozzle. The preburner inner cylindrical wall is shared with the outer cylindrical wall of the engine's main combustion chamber and the turbine is axially aligned with the main combustion chamber. Liquid propellants supplied to the engine are utilized for regenerative cooling of the combustion chamber and preburner, where the liquid propellants are gasified in cooling manifolds before injection into the preburner and main combustion chamber.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a cooling device (2) for cooling combustion gases from a rocket motor (1) in an antitank weapon. The cooling device (2) comprises a coolant reservoir (3, 21) containing a coolant (4). The coolant reservoir (3, 21) is arranged such that the coolant (4) is transferred from the coolant reservoir (3, 21) to the combustion gases in the gas outlets (6) of the rocket motor (1) in response to a pressure increase in the rocket motor (1). The coolant reservoir (3, 21) constitutes an integral part of the rocket motor (1) and is connected to the combustion chamber (7) by at least two gas inlets (8) for pressurization of the coolant (4). The coolant reservoir is furthermore connected to the rocket motor nozzle (9) by at least two coolant outlets (10) for transfer of coolant (4) from the coolant reservoir (3, 21) to the rocket motor nozzle (9).

    摘要: A rocket engine fluid-flow system includes a pump fluidly interconnecting a fluid source to a combustion chamber. A nozzle is in fluid communication with the combustion chamber and includes coolant tubes fluidly arranged between the pump and the combustion chamber. An orifice has a throat and is fluidly arranged between the pump and the coolant tubes. The orifice has entrance and exit ramps arranged on either side of the throat. The exit ramp has an exit ramp surface with a divergent angle that is less than a right angle. The entrance ramp provides a smooth approach to the orifice throat. In one example, the exit ramp includes an exit ramp surface having a divergent angle of 20-60°. The exit ramp radius is less than twice the throat radius in one example.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a slotted multi-nozzle grid with a plate having multiple elongated slotlettes through the plate. Each of at least some of the slotlettes has a convergent input, a divergent output, and a narrower throat portion separating the convergent input and the divergent output. At least some of the slotlettes are arranged in multiple rows. The plate further includes multiple cooling channels through the plate. At least some of the cooling channels are located between the rows of slotlettes. Each cooling channel is configured to transport coolant through the plate in order to cool the plate, such as to cool the plate as hot combustion gases pass through the plate. Each of at least some of the rows may include at least two slotlettes, and two adjacent slotlettes in one row may be separated by a structural ligament (which may have a tear-drop cross-sectional shape).
