Modeling Unsteady Cavitation Effects and Dynamic Loads in Cryogenic Systems
SBC: COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: A406There currently are no analytical or CFD tools that can reliably predict unsteady cavitation dynamics in liquid rocket turbopumps. Cavitation effects, particularly at low-flow, off-design conditions, generate large amplitude pressure fluctuations that result in performance loss, and may interact with other components to generate damaging system-wide instabilities. The innovation proposed here is ...

Automated Computational Fluid Dynamics Design With Shape Optimization
SBC: Optimal Solutions Software, LLC Topic: A405Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used as an analysis tool to help the designer gain greater understanding of the fluid flow phenomena involved in the components being designed. The next step in the design process is to modify the design to improve the components performance, typically performed manually by the designer in a trial and error fashion. The innovations proposed herein will provide ...

Cryogenic Cooling System for Zero-Venting Storage of Supercritical Air Packs
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: F302Supercritical air at cryogenic temperature is an attractive source of breathing air because of its very high density and low pressure. However, heat leak into the cryogenic tank causes the stored air to expand and vent, thus limiting the storage life of a charged system. We propose to develop a storage system for supercritical air packs that provides cryogenic cooling that will enable long-term ...

Lightweight, High-Temperature Radiator Panels
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: F309Lightweight, high-temperature radiators are needed for future, high-efficiency power conversion systems for Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Creare has developed flexible radiators that are extremely lightweight, stowable in small volumes, and deployable with small forces, but are limited by materials to temperatures below 350 K. These novel radiators incorporate integral micrometeorite protect ...

Carbon Nanotube Based Electric Propulsion Thruster with Low Power Consumption
SBC: XINTEK, INC. Topic: A502Field emission electric propulsion (FEEP) thrusters have gained considerable attention for spacecrafts disturbance compensation because of excellent characteristics. The application of current FEEP has been slow in developing mainly caused by high specific power, which limit the milli-Newton thruster development due to insufficient onboard power. Dramatic field improvement from nanometer carbon ...
