Software for Design and Analysis of Liquid Rocket Engine System

초록

The liquid rocket engine system design and analysis program has been developed for preliminary design process. The program performs system analysis according to input variables and requirements. It also seeks design variables with higher specific impulse and thrust-to-weight ratio via optimization technique such as genetic algorithm. Simple GUI was constructed for user convenience. Moreover, visualized design output can be figured in three-dimensional model via CATIA. The results are expected to be applied to analysis and selection of propulsion system, which is a part of preliminary design of launch vehicle.
