Abstract:At present, there exists a trend for spacefaring countries to use methane as fuel for the first stages of launch vehicles. Russia is currently developing a promising launch vehicle known as Amur LNG. However, due to methane being a hazardous (flammable and explosive) substance, it is poorly suited for fuel tank strength tests conducted using existing equipment. In this regard, we face an urgent issue of developing a safe method for simulating liquid methane temperature during strength testing of methane tanks.… Show more
