RISAir Test Flow Analysis of the Hydrogen Pump of Vulcain Rocket Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Within the framework of the technological development of the VULCAIN rocket engine (Ariane V European project), initiated by the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) for the Agence Spatiale ...
Influence of the Blade Number on Inducer Cavitating Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Effects of the blade number on the performance of a rocket engine turbopump inducer are investigated in the present paper. For that purpose, two inducers characterized by three blades and five ...
PIV Measurements in the Impeller and the Vaneless Diffuser of a Radial Flow Pump in Design and Off-Design Operating Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the results of an experimental program that has been made on an air test rig of a radial flow pump. The tested impeller is the so-called SHF impeller. Many ...
Experimental Study of a Cavitating Centrifugal Pump During Fast Startups
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The startup of rocket engine turbopumps is generally performed only in a few seconds. It implies that these pumps reach their nominal operating conditions after only a few rotations. During ...
