Abstract:The scramjet of hypersonic vehicles faces severe high-temperature challenges, but the heat sink available for scramjet cooling is extremely finite. It is necessary to optimize its power and thermal management system (PTMS) with a finite heat sink of hydrocarbon fuel. This paper proposes a two-level optimization method for the PTMS of hypersonic vehicles at Mach 6. The PTMS is based on a supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) closed Brayton cycle, and its heat sink is airborne hydrocarbon fuel. System-level optimi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
