STUDY PROGRAM FOR TURBO-COOLER FOR PRODUCING ENGINE COOLING AIR.

Abstract

A study has been made of potential systems for cooling hypersonic vehicles. The systems studied employ a supersonic turbine which lowers the free stream stagnation air temperature by extracting shaft power, which may be utilized in several ways. Various cycles with and without heat exchangers were studied. The cooling, structural, bearing and seal problems associated with such systems were considered. Aerothermodynamic design data charts are presented. (Author)
