Preliminary Design of a Radial Turbine for Methane Expander Rocket-Engine

Multi-objective Optimization for Preliminary Design of Rocket Turbine Engine Using an Evolutionary Algorithm

This work purposes a study on a preliminary design in rocket turbine engine comparing the highest efficient against a lightweight aerodynamic configuration for aerospace endeavors. A framework has been developed based on a fast elitist non-dominated sorted genetic algorithm, well-known as NSGA-II. The Pareto-optimal set yielded is evaluated by a straightforward search method that sorts by mass ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Conceptual Design of Scroll Expander-Compressor for Stirling Engine

Conceptual design of scroll expander and scroll compressor for 10 kW-class Stirling engine utilizing solar energy as heat source has been carried out. CO2 was chosen as the working fluid, since it is nontoxic, inflammable and it has relatively higher density among probably usable gases. Gas temperature at the expander inlet was set at 700 C, and that at the compressor inlet was at 40°C. System ...
