The Hydraulic Tests of LOX Pumps for a Liquid Rocket Engine
로켓엔진용 산화제펌프의 수류 시험
- Published : 2006.08.23
Abstract
A series of hydraulic and cavitation tests are performed in water environment in order to verify the hydraulic and cavitation performance of three types of LOX pumps. All the performances of the pumps are found to be satisfied with each design requirement. In the hydraulic tests, the head and efficiency are increased as the gap between floating ring seals and the impeller shoulder is decreased. In the cavitation tests, some pumps show decrease in the cavitation performance as the flowrate of the pump is decreased.
