Abstract

Providing of sufficient input pressure of pumps is Pressurizing system tank mission. In structure of objective propulsion system, pressurizing system of fuel tank is hot gas kind that is feeding with engine which caused of operation relational. In this paper, interaction of pressurizing system of fuel tank and liquid rocket engine has been surveyed. Objective system consists of four main subsystems: liquid rocket engine, fuel tank, gas mixer and pipes. The procedure is based on a nonlinear mathematical model that dynamically describes operation of favorite system by regard to interaction of subsystems. Then all of the equations have been simulated in Matlab Simulation environment. Finally, results of propulsion system hot test are compared with model that shows acceptable accuracy of simulator code.
