Piston Pumps for Space Rocket Engines: Review and Design
Abstract
A high-performance space propulsion system normally uses pressure fed systems that drive up propellant tank mass and limit space engine performance and design varieties. In this paper, the particular specifications and designing factors that should be met by rocket engine fuel pumps are demonstrated, and a comparative study is formed on the suitableness of all the necessary kinds of pumps to be used with rocket engines and their applications. Furthermore, the paper describes low cost and high-performance pump technology. This new piston pump has been improved for space applications. Depending on the type of body of this pump, its various parts should be evaluated at the desired pressure and temperature as well as the speed of fluid handling, leakage from the body, and the strength of the parts. Our review results are expressed to give complete awareness of different situations in space rockets.
