Lightweight Propulsion Systems for Advanced Naval Ship Applications. Part II. Conceptual Design and Reliability Analysis.

Abstract

This report presents the results of conceptual design studies and reliability analyses as part of a comprehensive study program to evaluate the technological and economic feasibility of utilizing open- and closed-cycle gas turbines integrated with fossil or nuclear heat sources for providing advanced lightweight propulsion power for future Navy capital ship applications. The level of technology considered is that judged by the Contractor to be available during the 1990's.
