description | The subject of this paper is to improve on parameterization for conceptual design method of three stage hybrid rocket. Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is employed to solve multi-disciplinary design exploration of a three-stage launch vehicle concept using a hybrid rocket engine. MOGA which is used as the optimization methods for multi-objective problems utilizes real-number cording and the Pareto ranking method. According to our previous study, the propulsive performance of MOGA's solution was as low as the lower limit of design space. The design space of a conceptual three-stage launch vehicle hybrid rocket engine was reconsidered based on the results of multi-disciplinary design optimization. The design variables of the nozzles were reconsidered by exploring the design space. Specifically, the nozzle expansion ratio was considered as the ratio of the nozzle exit radius to the body radius. In this way, there are no solutions which violate the design constraints about the geometric condition of the nozzle exit. Consequently, the new conceptual design method can effectively explore solutions which have higher propulsive performance than previous method. As the result, the combustion chamber pressure is increased in the first stage. In the second stage, the solutions which are explored, modified parameterization are shown larger thrust level than previously. |
