Experimentally Driven Performance Model for the Baffled-Tube Ram Accelerator
The baffled-tube ram accelerator is a hypervelocity mass driver with the capability to become a reusable space launch technology. The device is a derivative of a smooth-bore ram accelerator in that it uses a series of ... -
Modeling of Test Section Conditions in a High Enthalpy Flow Facility
The Shock Wave Reactor laboratory, or SWR, at the University of Washington is a high enthalpy flow facility capable of a wide range of test conditions. In this study, an analytical model has been prepared using MATLAB in ... -
Thermodynamic Modeling and Mechanical Design of a Liquid Nitrogen Vaporization and Pressure Building Device
The design of a liquid nitrogen vaporization and pressure building device that has zero product waste while recovering some of its stored energy is of interest for the cost reduction of nitrogen for use in industrial ... -
Thermodynamic Scaling of Supersonic Retropropulsion Flowfeilds
The scaling of steady supersonic retropropulsion shock position and curvature is experimentally examined for a series of conical nozzles at the end of a cylindrical forebody at zero angle of attack. An experimental apparatus ... -
Transient Oxygen Droplet Combustion in a Hydrogen Atmosphere: A Numerical Approach
In liquid rocket propulsion oxygen normally enters the combustion chamber as a dispersed phase, as the hydrogen fuel more rapidly evaporates into a continuous, vapor phase. The foundational configuration considered here ...
