the combustion chamber pressure of pulse rocket engine is much higher than feed system supply pressure.In order to analyze the characteristics of bipropellant-fueled pulse rocket engine
a mathematics model was presented.The zero-dimensional models were used for combustion chamber and extrusion rooms
and the one-dimensional
quasi-steady model was used for nozzle flow.Using N2O4 and MMH as propellant
the equation sets were calculated with fourth-degree Runge-Kutta method.According to calculated results
the maximal pressure and average pressure of combustion chamber are much higher than supply pressure
on account of the nonequivalent mass flow rate in combustion chamber.The performance difference between pulse rocket engine and conventional constant-pressure liquid rocket engine(LRE) was compared.Results show that
under the same supply pressure
the same mean thrust and area ratio
the vacuum specific impulse of pulse rocket engine has increased by 7.5%
