Abstract

Steady state engine cycle analysis is commonly used in pre-design phases of liquid propellants rocket engine development. In the engine development process, a high level systems analysis, which examines the engine cycle allows a preliminary design of the engine components in terms of the operational envelope, within which the engine components are required to function. This paper compiles the general methodology and component models used in DLR's cycle analysis tools. The paper describes briefly the tool's heritage. Methods used for component modeling are described in detail. Some sample calculations of rocket engines are provided as validation examples.
