A Technical Seminar Report On: Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belgaum (Karnataka)

This technical seminar report summarizes a cryogenic rocket engine. It discusses the history and construction of cryogenic engines. Cryogenic engines use fuels cooled to very low temperatures, typically below -150°C. This allows the fuels to have a higher density and provide more energy than other fossil fuels. The report describes the key components of a cryogenic engine, including the fuel injection system and combustion chamber. It also discusses different types of cryogenic engines and their applications in space exploration. Cryogenic engines offer advantages like high efficiency and specific impulse, making them well-suited for applications requiring propulsion at high altitudes.

ABSTRACT
Cryogenic Technology which mainly deals with temperatures below -150 C is the main
working principlebehind the cryogenic engines. When elements cooled at these
temperatures they change their properties. As compared to other fossil fuel the cryogenic
fuel requirement is far less to produce same amount of energy. The field of cryogenics
advanced when during world war two, when metals were frozen to low temperatures
showed more wear resistance. In 1966, a company was formed, called Cyro-Tech. The
area of Cryogenics in Cryogenic Rocket Engines is a vast one and it cannot be described
in a few words. As the world progress new developments are being made more and more
new developments are being made in the field of Rocket Engineering. Now a day cryo
propelled rocket engines are having a great demand in the field of space exploration. Due
to the high specific impulse obtained during the ignition of fuels they are of much
demand.
