Study of a static rocket test stand system for setting the performances of a rocket engine fed with oxygen and methane in gaseous phase

According to the concept of a fluid-bipropellant rocket engine proposed in Design of a rocket engine fed with oxygen and methane in gaseous phase for educational purposes [TR01], a preliminary test stand design for the prediction and validation of the main performances of this engine has been developed. The main sensors and transducers are selected to measure the stated performances. After the proposed instrumentation, a virtual panel control has been also carried out.
