TL;DRAbstract

Volvo Aero Corporation takes part in a development project called Future Launchers Preparatory Program (FLPP) which aims to develop Next Generation Launchers (NGL) for future space flights. FLPP involves several projects and one these are focused on the development of the next generation rocket engines for the NGL. The environment of a rocket engine is extremely hostile, characterized by high pressure levels and rapid thermal transients. Even though the components are manufactured from super alloys, the life of these components is measured in seconds. In the light of these facts, it is obvious that all components have to be optimized to the last detail. This thesis work is a part of the optimization procedure with the objective to perform a parametric study of manifolds that will be particular useful during the concept work of the turbines for the FLPP program. The methods of probabilistic analysis have been employed in this study. This approach involves Ishikawa analysis (Cause and Ef
