Abstract
The steady and transient thermal and flow analysis for liquid helium using for the pressurization of liquid rocket propellant tanks have been conducted numerically. The required inner diameter of helium channel that satisfy the design mass flow rate and velocity, through the steady state analyses for various thermal conditions at the wall, is determined and it is found that due to the sign of Joule-Thomson coefficient of helium, the temperature of helium increase monotonically for adiabatic wall condition. The temporal behavior of helium temperature, density, velocity are also investigated under the existence of local heat inflow on the wall.
