Abstract
⺠This work examines a tank purge prior to filling with cryogenic propellant. ⺠Maximum and minimum limiting conditions for a tank purge are identified. ⺠An algebraic model is developed to examine tank purge. ⺠Experimental data from external tank purge is compared with algebraic model. ⺠Detailed CFD results of ET purge are also compared with the algebraic model.
