Portable Rocket Propulsion Analysis Standard Description

RPA is an easy-to-use multi-platform tool for the performance prediction of rocket engines. It features an intuitive graphical user interface with convenient grouping the input parameters and analysis results. RPA utilizes an expandable chemical species library based on NASA Glenn thermodynamic database and Gurvich thermodynamic database, that includes data for numerous fuels and oxidizers, such as liquid hydrogen and oxygen, kerosene, hydrogen peroxide, MMH, and many others. With embedded species editor, the users may also easily define new propellant components, or import components from PROPEP or CEA2 species databases. Give Rocket Propulsion Analysis Standard a try to fully assess its capabilities! Main features: Scripting module to solve user's own problems, extending standard capabilities of the program Propellant analysis tool to evaluate different propellant compositions, with stepwise replacement of one component with another one Determination of combustion chamber size for given thrust, propellant mass flow rate, or throat diameter, with capability to export the resulting contour to DXF file Designing parabolic nozzle contour or truncated ideal nozzle contour (TIC) using axisymmetric method of characteristics, with capability to export the resulting contour to DXF file Producing publication-quality plots (in raster or vector format) Output of results to PDF or ODF format Robust, proven and industry-accepted Gibbs free energy minimization approach is used to obtain the combustion composition Analysis of nozzle flows with shifting and frozen chemical equilibrium Optimisation of propellant components mixture ratio for maximum specific impulse of bipropellant systems Altitude performance analysis Analysis of nozzle performance with respect to overexpansion and flow separation Throttled engine performance analysis Estimation of test (actual) nozzle performance Nested analysis, stepping of up to four independent variables (component ratio, chamber pressure, nozzle inlet conditions, nozzle exit conditions) Embedded species database editor
