AIAA 93-1096 Multidisciplinary Design Of a Rocket-Based Combined Cycle SSTO Launch Vehicle using Taguchi Methods
This paper presents the results of an effort to optimize a conceptual design of a conical (wingedcone) single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle. The vehicle employs a rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) engine capable of four different operating modes ejector, ramjet, scramjet, and rocket. The RBCC engine offers higher engine thrust-to-weight ratios than competing airbreathing engine cycles while ma...
متن کاملMultidisciplinary Design Optimization of Solid Launch Vehicle Using Hybrid Algorithm
A new approach is proposed incorporating heuristic optimization algorithm with a switch to a local search algorithm for the multidisciplinary design of solid launch vehicle at conceptual level. Heuristic optimization algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm often may locate near optimum solutions at the expense of large function evaluations. Local search algorithms including both gradient and non g...
متن کاملA steam Rankine cycle with two-stage pumping to enhance the waste heat recovery from internal combustion engines
In this research, a high-temperature Rankin cycle (HTRC) with two-stage pumping is presented and investigated. In this cycle, two different pressures and mass flow rates in the HTRC result in two advantages. First, the possibility of direct recovery from the engine block by working fluid of water, which is a low quality waste heat source, is created in a HTRC. Secondly, by doing this, the mean ...
متن کاملMultiobjective Optimization of Two-Stage Rockets for Earth-to-Orbit Launch
Rockets are defined by many variables and constraints, and ultimately deliver a payload to orbit at some cost. These characteristics provide the basis for an optimization problem. This paper describes the construction and optimization of a two-stage liquid rocket model. At the core of the model, the shooting method was used to calculate the fuel usage and ending altitude of the rocket design. T...
متن کاملReusable Launch Vehicle Design Implications for Regeneration Time Thesis
In the last few years, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) sponsored several research projects on a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) whose design, operation, and logistics requirements are intended to be much simpler than for the Space Shuttle. As part of these efforts, the previous researchers developed a discrete-event simulation model, called Maintenance, Integration, and Launch Pad Operat...
