Chemical Engine/Gear System Program.
Abstract
A two-phase program was conducted to define a liquid-fueled chemical engine/gear (CEG) system for use as part of a mobile power supply. In the first phase, engineering design studies were accomplished wherein several propellants were considered and appropriate system configurations and operating characteristics were defined for each case. Each alternative system was optimized and tradeoff comparisons were made leading to conceptual definition of the best approach for the target CEG system. In the second phase, design characteristics were formulated for the selected CEG system and design drawings for the assembly and its major elements were generated. Subsequently, a general development plan was prepared to describe fabrication and test evaluation of a pilot model CEG system. (Author)
