Master/Bachelor/Semester’s Thesis

Topic: Design of a Test Chamber for a Versatile Cryogenic Rocket Injection Test
Bench

Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or MSE Student (Bachelor – Master Level)

Background

 

At the Chair of Space Propulsion and Mobility a test bench is developed for the investigation of injection
characteristics in liquid-propellant rocket engines under non-reacting conditions over a wide operating
range. This means to conduct investigations under variation of pressure levels and temperature, corresponding
to the real application of liquid propellant injectors. Local pressure and temperature sensors shall
be combined with optical measurement methods to allow detailed observations.


In the scope of this thesis, the test chamber shall be dimensioned and designed. The starting point is an
existing test chamber which was previously used for investigations of injection into vacuum. However, with
the extended scope of the new test bench, the test chamber must allow to test under an increased variety
of operating conditions – from vacuum to supercritical pressures, from ambient temperature to more than
100°C in the test chamber. This requires a thorough analysis and major design adaptions.
