Download or read book Certification Tests of a Hybrid Propulsion System for the Sandpiper Target Missile written by Franklin B Mead (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-house exploratory development program was accomplished as part of an inter-laboratory team effort to demonstrate the feasibility of hybrid propulsion for the Sandpiper high-performance target missile. The objectives of this program were to: (1) conduct off-design tests of a flight type (heavyweight) Hybrid thrust chamber assembly (TCA); (2) conduct flight certification tests on flight weight propulsion systems delivered under a concurrent AFRPL contract; and (3) provide propulsion system field servicing and engineering support during subsequent flight tests of the propulsion system. Thirty heavyweight TCA tests were conducted, and TCA component operating characteristics, TCA component durability, effects of metal fuel grain additives on combustion, effects of fuel grain temperature on combustion, effects of IRFNA oxidizer substitution, and TCA altitude performance were evaluated. MON- 25 oxidizer and 90% Plexiglas 10% magnesium metal fuel were the propulsion system propellants. Eight flight weight propulsion systems were tested over simulated mission duty cycles after being subjected to environmental extremes of temperature ( -65 F to 165 F) and humidity.

Download or read book Hybrid Propulsion System for an Advanced Rocket powered Target Missile written by Richard A. Jones and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A demonstration program has been completed to determine the feasibility of a low-cost hybrid propulsion system for an advanced rocket-powered target vehicle. During a 21-month program a flightweight hybrid propulsion system was designed, fabricated, and successfully tested in numerous static firings at ambient conditions, temperature extremes of -65 F to +165 F and at altitude conditions in the AFRPL altitude facility. The final system design demonstrated step-thrust operation over an 8:1 thrust range which was provided on-command from boost thrust to sustain thrust. The sustain thrust level is selected prior to system firing by setting a flow control valve which provides 'dial-a-thrust' flexibility. The final phase of the program involved flight tests with a target vehicle airframe which demonstrated the hybrid propulsion system capability to provide command step-thrust operation, powered flight times approaching 5 min, and reliable operation following aircraft launch at 49,000 ft, Mach 1.5.

Download or read book Rocket Propulsion Elements written by George P. Sutton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2001 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerospace Engineering/Mechanical Engineering The definitive text on rocket propulsion-now completely revised to reflect rapid advancements in the field For more than fifty years, this seminal text has been regarded as the single most authoritative sourcebook on rocket propulsion technology. More comprehensive and coherently organized than any other book on the subject, Rocket Propulsion Elements guides readers evenhandedly through the complex factors that shape propulsion, with both theory and practical design considerations. With more than a third of the text and illustrations either completely new or extensively revised, this latest edition includes current information on engine structures, nozzle theory, gas properties, thrust chambers, launch vehicles, and more. With a detailed table of contents breaking down each chapter into subsections-as well as an expanded index of key words-the Seventh Edition efficiently steers readers quickly to the information they need. Other highlights include: * Separate chapters on liquid, solid, and hybrid propulsion systems and a new chapter on thrust chambers including the new aerospike nozzle * Comprehensive coverage of rocket propulsion technology, with applications to space flight, satellite flight, and guided and unguided missiles * Problem-solving examples and exercises relevant to actual design situations * More than 340 illustrations, including photographs, tables, and graphs * Coherent, up-to-date chapter on electrical propulsion balancing fundamentals with practical aspects and applications For professional engineers in the aerospace and defense industries as well as undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering, this time-honored resource is indispensable for its scope of coverage and utility.

Download or read book Being Alive written by Tim Ingold and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology is a disciplined inquiry into the conditions and potentials of human life. Generations of theorists, however, have expunged life from their accounts, treating it as the mere output of patterns, codes, structures or systems variously defined as genetic or cultural, natural or social. Building on his classic work The Perception of the Environment, Tim Ingold sets out to restore life to where it should belong, at the heart of anthropological concern. Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials, what it means to make things, the perception and formation of the ground, the mingling of earth and sky in the weather-world, the experiences of light, sound and feeling, the role of storytelling in the integration of knowledge, and the potential of drawing to unite observation and description. Our humanity, Ingold argues, does not come ready-made but is continually fashioned in our movements along ways of life. Starting from the idea of life as a process of wayfaring, Ingold presents a radically new understanding of movement, knowledge and description as dimensions not just of being in the world, but of being alive to what is going on there.
