50131-98-I Absorption Chiller Corrosion Protection--Rocky Research, P.O. Box 61800, Boulder City, NV 89006-1800; (702) 293-0851 Dr. Travis Chandler, Principal Investigator Dr. Uwe Rockenfeller, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-98ER82658 Amount: $75,000 Corrosion control is the main obstacle facing chiller manufacturers for the introduction of new designs of high efficiency lithium brom ...

"Highly efficient, high energy density electrical generation systems are needed for ground based assets. Fuel cell electrical generation systems provide high efficiency, low emissions, and low thermal signatures. A cost effective, transportable reformersystem, providing hydrogen, while using a military fuel such as JP-8, and meeting military operational requirements does not exist. The develo ...

The ability for engineers to assess the impact of their preliminary design of solid rocket motor (SRM) performance and combustion stability is the focus of this proposal. The SRMs of the future will be designed for increased performance. Since ballistic excursions, instabilities, and sporadic forces on rocket motors have catastrophic results, Software and Engineering Associates, Inc. (SEA) has mad ...

Vendors (large and small) are being contracted to develop novel training applications leveraging the latest technologies. Because of the current siloed nature of acquisitions and program management many departments across the USAF are paying for models and training applications that have already been developed by other departments. Compounding this issue, there are serious limitations with confirm ...

The DoD is deeply investing in the development of more sophisticated sensor technologies and human performance analysis tools. Unfortunately, most of the relevant sensor data and associated toolsets (e.g., applications, AI engines, classifiers, etc.) are

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I effort will demonstrate the feasibility of a novel passively adaptive shock and vibration isolating buffer system for the US Navys combatant craft. The proposed approach does not rely on conventional passive, semi-active or active spring-damper systems. The buffer system will provide energy damping via a liquid spring buffer and eddy current d ...

Successful brake system performance during long mountain descents is critical. Prior test events can fail to successfully replicate the severity of the extended down grade conditions, leading to recognition that definition of successful operational tests is required. Therefore the development of an updated test procedure and development of a Brake Fade Warning System, both of which rely on a numbe ...

Mountain descent test procedures that replicate conditions found in severe mountain environments are essential in identifying the limitations of current and future vehicle systems. Current tests have failed to reproduce these severe, realistic conditions resulting in deficiencies in overall vehicle performance. In Phase I a prototype Brake Fade Advance Warning System (BFAWS) and mountain descent r ...

ABSTRACT: Flow Modeling and Simulation proposes to develop a code designated Scramjet Simulation Tool (SCRAMSIM) to provide a powerful multi-level tool suitable for tight integration into the design, test and evolution cycle. The code will be based on the HEAT3D code. SCRAMSIM will be designed to reduce risks and costs, compress schedules (short term) and enhance physics insight (long term) by ...
