Combustion chamber of liquid rocket engine

Abstract

The invention discloses a combustion chamber of a liquid rocket engine. The combustion chamber comprises a metal inner wall, an adhesion layer, a non-metal outer wall, a propellant inlet connector, a propellant outlet connector, a rear-end flange, a front-end flange, a tail-end bearing plate and a front-end bearing plate, wherein the non-metal outer wall and the metal inner wall form one piece through the adhesion layer; a plurality of cooling grooves which are arranged in the peripheral direction are formed in the outer surface of the metal inner wall; the front-end bearing plate and the tail-end bearing plate form an outlet collector and an inlet collector which are in the shape of an annular cavity respectively with the front-end outer wall surface and the tail-end outer wall surface of the metal outer wall respectively; the front-end flange and the rear-end flange are fixed to the front-end bearing plate and the tail-end bearing plate respectively; the outlet collector and the inlet collector are made to form a closed cavity; and the propellant inlet connector and the propellant outlet connector are connected with the inlet collector and the outlet collector respectively. The combustion chamber disclosed by the invention has the advantages of being simple in structure and forming process, convenient to operate, low in manufacturing cost and short in manufacturing period.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of liquid rocket engine combustion chambers, and more particularly relates to a liquid rocket engine combustion chamber using a non-metal outer wall. Background technique [0002] The combustion chamber is an important component of the liquid rocket engine, which generates all or most of the thrust of the liquid rocket engine. The liquid propellant enters the combustion chamber through the injector, completes the process of atomization, mixing and combustion, generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and converts the chemical energy of the propellant into heat energy. The gas converts heat energy into kinetic energy in the nozzle, and is discharged from the outlet section of the nozzle at a high speed to generate engine thrust. [0003] In the combustion chamber of a liquid rocket engine, a large number of propellant components are burned in a short period of time under high temperature (3000K-4000K) and high...

Problems solved by technology

However, this kind of structure is complex and difficult to form. There is a closed channel between the inner and outer walls. Special processes such as brazing, diffusion welding or electroforming must be used. There are special requirements for material grades, and the forming cycle is long, costly and reliable. It is difficult to guarantee, and it is difficult to repair once a problem occurs afte
