METHOD OF AND DEVICE FOR CREATING THRUST OF LIQUID-PROPELLANT ROCKET ENGINE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F02K9/48 

FIELD: rocketry.

SUBSTANCE: according to proposed method of creating thrust of liquid-propellant rocket engine with circulation of heat carrier based on taking of propellant components from tanks, increasing their pressure by pumps driven by turbine and introducing them into gas generator and combustion chamber, combustion of components in gas generator and chamber and creating thrust with ejection of combustion products through nozzle, when introducing component of propellant and products of their gasification into combustion chamber, tangential speed component is imparted to them and part of combustion products is replaced by heat carrier and in process of recirculation it is successively expanded at higher pressure of diverting part of nozzle, cooled, condensed in head exchanger-condenser, pressure is raised by pump and it is then delivered to near-critical part of nozzle to repeat the cycle. Liquid-propellant rocket engine with closed circuit of heat carrier contains chamber with mixing head and regenerative cooling duct, turbopump set with oxidizer and propellant pumps whose output main lines are connected with said mixing head of chamber and gas generator, and said closed circuit of heat carrier is formed with successively interconnected circulating pump, unit to introduce heat carrier to near-critical area of nozzle, heat exchanger-condenser, means to supply condensed component to input of circulating pump. According to invention, closed circuit is provided with section of diverting part of nozzle on which ring ribs made of heat-resistant material are secured over circumference.

EFFECT: reduced cost of launching of useful load into orbit.
