Cooldown time for cryogenic pipelines, discussing analytical model based on enthalpy, density and velocity of sound in warm gas
Critical flow factor is calculated that permits the isentropic mass-flow rate of the gases through critical flow nozzles to be calculated from plenum conditions. Results include nozzle throat velocity, compressibility factor, entropy, enthalpy, specific heat, and ratios of throat to plenum pressure, density, and temperature.
An analog computer study is made of the low-frequency flow dynamics observed with liquid hydrogen flowing in two different nuclear-rocket cold-flow (unfueled) engine systems. The prediction of the low-frequency response depends largely upon the generation of the proper mass-flow storage in the system. This is achieved by relating, in the model lumping, the average values of fluid enthalpy and a certain thermodynamic fluid property. A two-phase state equation is derived for thermodynamic equilibrium between the gas and liquid phases. Parametric studies are made which demonstrate the effect of the pump characteristics on the flow damping.
Investigations of the turbulent boundary layer with heat transfer, mass transfer, and chemical reactions are reviewed, with emphasis on recent studies motivated by the hybrid combustion problem. Relatively high mass injection rates and rapidly changing composition and enthalpy boundary conditions along the boundary layer edge are inherent to the hybrid problem, and earlier treatments are somewhat inconsistent with this situation. To account for these aspects, a more recent analysis reviewed here differs from earlier ones in the way the mass transfer number B, or thermochemical driving force, is related to the thermodynamic parameters of the propellants and flow and in the treatment of the heat transfer blocking effect caused by wall mass injection. It is shown that the present boundary layer analysis is applicable up to B 100, while the maximum thermochemical driving force available from any possible combination of propellants is less than 40. This analysis is used to predict the regression rate performance of several typical propellant combinations with good accuracy.
