AMBARI VIDYA MANDIR

Maths Project

Name:- M.Harishnath

Grade:- X

Topic:- Surface areas and volumes


Acknowledgment

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our school’s

principal, as well as my math teacher, Mr. Mohamed Ayub , for

providing me with the excellent opportunity to complete this

wonderful project on the topic of “Surface areas and volumes”.

Without their support, this project would not have been

completed. Then, I would really like to thank my parents and

friends who greatly contributed to my ability to complete this

project in the given timeframe. I would like to extend my

gratitude to every one of the support staff for their significant

contribution.
AIM:

To calculate PSLV-XL rocket’s Fuel Capacity using surface area and

volume , And to calculate its range and using nanotechnology the

range of the rocket can be increased as the mass of the satellite

decreases .
Introduction about PSLV-XL:

PSLV-XL Configuration
Gross Weight : 320t
Overall height : 44.4 m
Diameter : 2.8m
Features : 04 stage vehicle, multiple satellite launch
capability and multiple orbit capability
Lift Off Mass : 320 tonnes (XL)
Variants : 4 (PSLV,CA,DL,QL,XL)
First Flight : September 20, 1993
CAPACITY:

Payload to LEO (200 km @ 30° inclination)

Mass: 3,800 kg (8,400 lb)

Payload to SSO (620 km circular)

Mass: 1,750 kg (3,860 lb)

Payload to Sub-GTO (284 × 20650 km)

Mass: 1,425 kg (3,142 lb)

Payload to GTO

Mass: 1,300 kg (2,900 lb)


Fuel capacity :

There are Six GS12 boosters in PSLV-XL with each Height 12 meters and
Diameter of 1 meter. The boosters are in the shape of cylinders to calculate its
volume

2
Volume of cylinder = πr h
2
=π×0.5 ×12
=3π
=9.42m3

The volume of one GS12 booster is 9.42 cubic meters . So for six boosters of
the same measurements the volume of it should be multiplied into Six .

Volume of cylinder*6= 9.42*6


= 56.52 cubic meters.

The Propellant mass of each booster is 2033.33kgs and for six booster is
12200 kgs. So, the total fuel used on the first stage of ignition is 12 metric
tonnes
In the second stage of ignition the ISRO uses an powerful liquid engine
named VIKAS this engine is placed in an cylindrical case filled with the fuel
of 42 tons(as per ISRO) and the diameter of the cylindrical tank containing fuel is
2.8 m to find the height of it

2
Volume of cylinder = πr h
2800(Tonnes converted into cubic meter)=π1.4*1.4*h
2800=π1.96*h
2800/1.96=πh
1428.57=πh
1428.57/π=h
h=9.2m

Therefore the height of the fuel tank is 9.2 meters and the fuel capacity is
42,000 kgs.
At the third and fourth stage of launching the PSLV-XL uses HTPB and
MMH type of fuel to get maximum thrust in this stages the fuel tank is not in
the cylindrical shape as the engines are placed in it we cannot find the volume
of it but the total fuel used in the second and third stage is approximately 10
tonnes.

The total fuel used in all the four stages in total is approximately 60 to 61
tonnes which costs around 200 crores for a single launch of a PSLV-XL and
can take a satellite weighing about 1700 kilograms to SSO (Sun Synchronous
Orbit) and about 1400 kilograms to GTO(Geostationary transfer orbit).

But whereas using nanotechnology nano satellites can be made at very


minimal weight and the amount of fuel can be decreased and the range can be
extended.

For example: Jugnu is an Indian technology demonstration and remote


sensing CubeSat satellite which was operated by the Indian Institute of
Technology Kanpur. Built under the guidance of Dr. N. S. Vyas, it is a
nanosatellite which will be used to provide data for agriculture and disaster
monitoring.It is a 3-kilogram (6.6 lb) spacecraft, which measures 34
centimeters (13 in) in length by 10 centimeters (3.9 in) in height and width. Its
development programme cost around 2.5 crore and the launch cost around
14.7 crore.
CONCLUSION:

In future the use of nanotechnology in satellites can bring a drastic

change in the field of space research organizations. Now the invention

of reusable rockets by SPACEX brought a change in this field which

allows the cost of payloads to decrease. Same in the use of

nanotechnology we can send satellites to space at low cost and at a far

distance.
