Currently, in the field of engine building, development of three-component propulsion systems (PS) is a very promising task. Liquid-propellant rocket engines (LPRE) operating at the initial stage of launching a launch vehicle (LV) on liquid oxygen + kerosene fuel and at high-altitude launch sites using cryogenic fuel (liquid oxygen + liquid hydrogen) are in particular interest.
LPRE that use three-component fuel have a high pressure level in a combustion chamber (CC) (up to 30 MPa) and temperatures (up to 4000 K). In this regard, arise questions related to reliable cooling of such engines, as well as ensuring minimal hydraulic fluid losses in a cooling passage in order to further use re-frigerant as a working fluid for driving the turbine of a booster turbo pump unit (BTP).
The object of research is a two-mode single-chamber three-component liquid-propellant rocket engine, made in a closed circuit with generator gas afterburning. Oxidizing agent is liquid oxygen, fuel is RG-1 kerosene and liquid hydrogen. Cooling of the chamber is combined: it consists of regenerative and internal. Regenerative cooling passage is formed by longitudinal integral-machined fins. Hipercritical hydrogen is used as an engine coolant. Internal cooling includes a tantalum coating applied to a fire wall of the chamber in a critical section.
The article examines the problems of organizing cooling system (CS) and implementation of effective heat removal from a firing wall of a three-component rocket engine. Basing on existing liquid-propellant engine cooling systems, optimal circuit solutions and measures to remove thermal load in the most stressed places are proposed.
A mathematical model has been developed for calculating a CS of a three-component LPRE. The results of the design calculation of cooling using several calculation methods are presented.
Keywords: LPRE on three-component fuel, thermal protection of an engine body, mathematical model of LPRE, heat and mass transfer of three-component combustion products.
