nemesis8u:How does nuclear missile propulsion work? |
Re: Technical Discussions On International Military Equipments Doctrines Tactics Etc by Nobody: 2:24am On Jul 20, 2018 |
lionel4power: Basically image a miniature reactor which has a suitable nuclear fuel packed into a sub critical mass along with the requisite control rods , u remove the rods to start the reactor. The thermal energy now being generated can be used to heat up the air much like in a jet engine to create thrust. Unlike a jet engine here u need to use a heat exchanger which will draw heat from the reactor and heat up the incoming mass of air inside a chamber to very high temperatures which will expand and propel the missile forward. This is the basic idea. It is kind of complicated when u go into details whether it is a close looped system or a open looped system or the type of reactor being used , different reactors different way to get the propulsion work etc It is basically a doomsday device Also I wonder how they took care of radiation leakage, if it is a open loop system there will be radiation spillage when the reactor comes online due to necessasity of direct contact of the working medium (air) with the nuclear element. Basically it will be leaking radiation of varying degrees along it flight path. If it is a closed loop system then it mandates the development of high efficiency supercritical CO2 brayton thermal conversion type systems. it will not leak radiation. But such systems r still to be developed , not sure though. Anyways I don't have a freaking idea about all these just assuming |

nemesis8u: Okay. I understand now. But won't it require a compressor to Kickstart the process? Similar to an S-RAM combustion engine. |

kikuyu1: Most probably shelved IAF is not interested in duplicating trainers since the hawks were bought Also the morons were struggling with induced spin recovery. Spin recovery is a important criteria in trainer aircrafts. I would have written some more points but what's the point when the country is full of morons 1 Like |

lionel4power: Compressor requirement will be dictated by the operational speed of the missile and other things Speed of the missile is subsonic u will need a compressor Speed is supersonic or higher u don't require a compressor. U don't need a compressor to kick start the nuclear propulsion What u need is the desired air flow rate inside the combustion chamber housing the heat exchanger which is dependent on the speed and design on the missile. This can be done with compressor if u don't have the desired speed and the compressor is not required if u have the desired speed. Therefore booster rockets is used to propel the article to the required high speed where the nuclear reactor is switched on and the propulsion becomes self sustaining due to availablity of the desired air mass flow. |

nemesis8u:How feasible do you think it is as compared to electric propulsion? I'm of the opinion that electric propulsion if well researched could be the future of travel. Both in outer space and aeronautics. |

lionel4power: Electric propulsion ? So tell me what sources of energy is going to provide electric propulsion ? |

nemesis8u: In outer space, solar energy.... In within earth, miniaturized nuclear batteries. This type of battery was developed by Baek Kim and Jae Kwon at the University of Missouri, uses the betavoltaic process to generate electricity. A betavoltaic device, as the name implies, is fairly similar a photovoltaic device — but instead of generating electricity from photons, it generates electricity from beta radiation — i.e. high-energy electrons that are emitted by radioactive elements. A betavoltaic device is constructed in almost exactly the same way as a photovoltaic cell: a piece of silicon (or other semiconductor) is wedged between two electrodes, and when radiation hits the semiconductor it produces a flow of electrons (voltage, electricity). https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/190555-this-nuclear-battery-could-power-your-smartphone-forever-as-long-as-you-dont-value-your-life-or-sperm-count-too-highly Like i said before. .. Further research into this area could yield results. Another possibility is laser beamed-energy propulsion system which should provide a means for inter-galactic space voyage. This are highly advanced technologies which would take decades to design and perfect. But i see great potential in them 2 Likes |

kikuyu1: Not well IMO becz no info on the tests which was scheduled to happen long time ago. No, it is not even a pre-production model. |

Re: Technical Discussions On International Military Equipments Doctrines Tactics Etc by Nobody: 11:44pm On Jul 21, 2018 |
jakeporeshenko: Primarily for range increase with adequate combat payload. |
Re: Technical Discussions On International Military Equipments Doctrines Tactics Etc by SternProphet: 3:43am On Jul 22, 2018 |
Hawk 200+ (Combat Hawk)apparently has radar and lots of modern attack features. So quite better than Alpha Jet. UK or India won't mind selling as a replacement for Alpha Jets . The Super Tucano does not quite replace Alpha Jets. Which is something fast that can be used in-country for sir to air and air to ground operations. 1 Like |

jakeporeshenko:right now, the Alphas are seen as COIN workhorse. Imo the eyes if the brass are concerned with replacement of the COIN aspect of the Alphas & not the other capabilities |
