Developed of an algorithm for design and construction a hot gas thruster and compared with experimental resultes

This study aims to design and construct a hot-gas Thruster or pintle valve for this purpose at first, utilized the characteristics and inverse design methods which made no desirable results because of their limitations. Thus the method of prediction and correction in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was implemented. Then the sensitivity analysis of those paramethers impacting on the Thruster performance such as the diameter’s throat and etc, examined and at last a suitable design with reliability coefficient of 1.20 for a thruster with 32000 N thrust was done. Then the angle of entering hot-gas was surveyed, which showed 30 degrees as the optimum value. Then the designed valve in the worst status (from Thrust point of view) with the angle of 90 degrees of entrance to be tested in vitro. The experimental results of the Thrust show a good conformity to the simulation model results with less than 10% of errors.
