Cavitation Characteristics of Tank-Mounted Cryogenic Pumps and Their Predicted Performance under Reduced Gravity

  • Conference paper
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 7))

Abstract

Today’s high-performance missiles and aircraft require propellant supply systems which carefully balance the following:

  1. 1.

    High speed and light weight of the pumps

  2. 2.

    Low tank pressurization for low tank weight

  3. 3.

    Steady and reliable propellant feed, free from cavitation surging
