Green Emulating Energetic Viable Alternate Fuel (GEEVA Fuel)
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Propulsion, Aerospace and Aeronautical Engineering
Abstract
Green propellants are high energy liquid rocket propellants that operate as a high-performance, high-efficiency alternative to conventional chemical propellants for future spacecraft. Green propellants are attractive as possible substitutes for traditional hazardous propellants. This research is targeted at green propellants that are the most viable for rocket or spacecraft propulsion. The term viability is based on the features such as less pollution, maximum efficiency, ease of transportation and handling. Thus, this paper aims to analyze a propellant module as a possible green propellant for rocket propulsion that combines the best of worlds that is, safety and efficiency. The analysis is done using the Analytical Systems (ANSYS 2021 R1) software package, particularly the fluent analysis system.
Keywords
