Abstract
The demand for increasing the efficiency in liquid rocket engines has led to a revaluation of the traditional design and manufacturing processes. Liquid rocket engines play a pivotal role in aerospace propulsion, and the performance of their injector head plates is crucial for achieving structural and thermal stability of the thrust chamber assembly. Additive manufacturing, specifically lattice structures, has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the thermal exchange and mechanical properties of various high requirements space components. The present work provides an overview of the application of additive manufacture lattice structures to improve the performance of injector head face plates in liquid rocket engines. Results will be referred to Nyx Moon capsule main thrust chamber assembly propulsion system - developed by The Exploration Company – and tested at German Aerospace Centre - DLR - Lampoldshausen P8 test facility.Pubblicazioni consigliate
