In this study, a typical satellite monopropellant propulsion system is numerically modeled by using a commercial software and analyses are conducted regarding the priming operation of satellite propulsion system. Analyses are performed for different tank pressures, downstream line pressures, distance between the tank and orifice, distance between the orifice and latch valve, distance between the latch valve and exit valve, orifice diameter and pipe diameters. Moreover, a test setup is constructed and tests are performed in order to create a database on water hammer phenomena under the same conditions with the ones faced in satellite propulsion system during priming. In the tests, different tank pressures, downstream line pressures, downstream line lengths and orifice diameters are used. Maximum pressure, frequency of flow and transient flow duration are the parameters compared.

Numerical and experimental investigation of direct connected ramjet test facility
Esirgen, Başar; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Ak, Mehmet Ali; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
The main objective of this study is to make a numerical model of direct connected ramjet test facility which is used for ground tests of supersonic air breathing propulsion systems. Conceptual design of a direct connected ramjet test facility is performed. 1 dimensional transient numerical model is made according to this conceptual design. Numerical model is made by using 1 dimensional computational fluid dynamic code FLOWNEX. Validation of the numerical model is performed by comparison of test data. After ...
Autonomous spacecraft rendezvous and docking on safe trajectories
Büyükkoçak, Ali Tevfik; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, rendezvous and docking operation of a pair of low earth orbit spacecraft is addressed. Two different sets of equations for the nonlinear orbital relative motion of spacecraft are derived and simulation codes for this motion are developed. First, Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire (HCW) equations are used in chaser-target spacecraft configuration with Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm including some safety considerations such as debris avoidance, direction of approach constraint and slow impact r...
Use of artificial neural network in rotorcraft cooling system
Akin, Altug; Kahveci, Harika Senem (2019-07-01)
In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to determine the surface temperatures of the avionics equipment located in an avionics bay of a rotorcraft. The bay is cooled via a system of a fan that supplies ambient air to the interior of the bay and an exhaust. A Feedforward Multi-Layer ANN is used with the input parameters of the fan and exhaust locations and the air mass flow rate of the fan. For training of the network, the results obtained by a large number of Computational Fluid Dynamics (...
Nonlinear controller designs for a reaction wheel actuated observatory satellite
Doruk, Reşat Özgür; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this research, nonlinear attitude controllers are designed for a low earth orbit satellite intended to be used in observatory missions. The attitude is represented by the Modified Rodriguez Parameters (MRP) which is a minimal representation providing a fully invertible kinematics. As a difference from the classical satellite models existent in the literature, the model of this work incorporates the dynamics of the reaction wheel (actuator) including a brushless dc motor which is armature controlled. The ...
Long term and safe relative orbit design for heterogeneous spacecraft clusters
Yaglioglu, Burak; Tekinalp, Ozan (2021-06-01)
The problem of obtaining long term relative orbit configurations for spacecraft clusters with realistic operational considerations such as safety, station keeping and inter-spacecraft distances is addressed. Two different approaches are developed for station keeping and safety objectives. In the first approach, relative orbit configurations, or relative TLEs, are found minimizing deviations from reference mean orbit which would maximize the station-keeping objective. In second one, relative configurations a...
