Development and Analysis of Closed Cycle Circulator Elements.

Abstract

A series of experiments with various flow rates of laser gas and coolants under several levels of energy inputs has been conducted on the Army Closed Cycle Circulator for pulsed EDL to collect sufficient data for flow calibration and coefficient determination. Verification of the theoretical models depicting the functions of the heat exchangers in maintaining the thermal balance in the flow through the steady and transient states are made through comparison with results of the experimental analysis.
