Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a turbine assembly including a turbo pump configured to pressurize an oxidant and fuel to a high pressure and supply the oxidant and fuel to a combustor, and more particularly, to a technology capable of recycling exhaust gas that has operated a turbine of a turbo pump.
Claims10
A turbine assembly comprising:
- a first propellant that is any one of an oxidant and fuel and is capable of catalytic decomposition;
- a second propellant that is the other of the oxidant and fuel;
- a combustor configured to generate a propulsive force by receiving and combusting the first and second propellants;
- a first supply line configured to supply the first propellant to the combustor;
- a second supply line configured to supply the second propellant to the combustor;
- a first pump provided in the first supply line and configured to pressurize the first propellant;
- a second pump provided in the second supply line and configured to pressurize the second propellant;
- a turbine configured to be operated by a high-temperature gas and connected to the first and second pumps through a driving shaft;
- a third supply line having a front end connected to a high-temperature gas supply means, and a rear end connected to the turbine to supply a high-temperature gas to the turbine;
- a first exhaust turbine configured to be operated by an exhaust gas discharged after operating the turbine;
- an energy storage part connected to the first exhaust turbine through a first exhaust driving shaft and configured to store at least a part of energy generated by the first exhaust turbine operated by the exhaust gas;
- and
- a fourth supply line having a front end connected to the turbine, and a rear end connected to the first exhaust turbine to supply the exhaust gas to the first exhaust turbine.
