CRYOGENIC ENGINE

Seminar Guide: Submitted By:

Mr. Kuldhir Singh Bhati Shadma Ansari(14/614)
 Introduction
• Cryogenics is the study of production of very low temperatures
and the effects of these temperatures on different substances
and materials.

• Temperatures studied in cryogenics are below -243.67 degrees

Fahrenheit

• Cryogenic Engine is designed for liquid fuels or cryogens.

• In 1963, United States of America was the first country to develop

Cryogenic Rocket Engine with the use of RL-10 engines with the
successful flight and it is still used on Atlas-V rocket.
 Introduction

• Combination of liquid fuels such as Liquid Oxygen (LOX), and

Liquid Hydrogen(LH2) as an oxidizer and fuel in the different
mixtures or proportions are generally used.

• CE-20 is a cryogenic rocket engine developed by Liquid

Propulsion Systems Centre, a subsidiary of Indian Space
Research Organization.
 Introduction
• In principle, cryogenic rocket engines generate thrust like all
other rocket engines by accelerating an impulse carrier to high
speeds.

• In rocket engines, the impulse and energy carriers are identical

and are present as fuel in the launcher.

• The chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into kinetic

energy by burning it in the thrust chamber and subsequent
expansion in the nozzle, thus produces thrust.
