Development and analysis of simulation of liquid-propellant rocket engine pump head curve obtaining process

Abstract

The paper describes the model of the centrifugal pump head curve obtaining process which helps in consideration of the implementation of automated systems in liquid-propellant rocket engine manufacturing. The work contains the simulation of automated and non-automated head curve obtaining. The developed model shows that the automated process exceeds the non-automated analog in terms of error values and labor intensity
