  • Numerical models for a pumping-back process of pressurized gas and a propellant-refilling process of propellant tank were built, and the simulation results were compared with experimental data using pure water. It was found that the pressure variation of propellant tank in the pumping-back process and the refilling proces was similar to an isothermal process, and the pressure variation of pressurized gas-bottle in the pumping-back process was similar to a polytropic process with polytropic exponent of 1.1. Further simulation analysis was carried out with the developed model to investigate a typical propellant refueling process of the Mir Space Station, indicating that the pressure-rising rate of a pressurized gas-bottle in pumping-back proces was significantly influenced by heat dissipation of the pressurized gas-bottle, and the propellant-refilling rate of a tank descended gradually due to increase of the back pressure of the tank in a propellant-refilling process.
