Design, Development and Fabrication of a FOA Energy Separator for Use in Aircraft on-Board Oxygen Generating Systems.
Abstract
Contained herein is the development of a FOA Energy Separator (FES), a Cryptosteady device which separates an air flow into hot and cold fractions. The device is thermodynamically similar to the principle of a back-to-back expander-compressor, which in actuality does not exist. Therefore, the FES stands alone as a device to provide cooling without the need for heat exchange with the surroundings. This report describes its development specifically for application to the on-board generation of oxygen for future high performance Navy aircraft.
