Computational Simulation Of A Nuclear Engine
Abstract
Nuclear Engine System Simulation (NESS) computer program developed to satisfy need for accurate, stand-alone software tool for preliminary design analysis of nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engine system. Used for rapid, preliminary detailed design analysis of both reactor and key engine systems. Principal outputs include operating characteristics and weights of reactors, engine-system parameters as performances, weights, dimensions, pressures, temperatures, and mass flows, and operating characteristics of turbopumps under both design and off-design operating conditions. Written in FORTRAN 77.
