• Extra care has to be taken so that highly skewed and negative volume elements are not generated Unstructured Grid: Unstructured grid can consist of any type of elements ranging from triangle, quadrilateral to tetrahedral, prism, pyramids and hexahedral. Advantages: • The grid density can be controlled in any region without worrying much about the density getting increased in another region • Easy to use with complex geometries. Can be computed within an hour • Don’t have to worry much about skewness
We must meet a set of requirements to achieve mission objectives that mark the beginning of a space-mission planning. The re-entry phase of a mission is no different. The three most competitive requirements that must be delicately balanced are • Deceleration • Heating • Accuracy of landing or impact The vehicle’s structure and payload limit the maximum deceleration or “g’s” it can withstand. (One “g” is the gravitational acceleration at Earth’s surface—9.798 m/s2. The amount of deceleration is so
rockets is much more realistic than in aircraft. A missile can be fairly easily accelerated by a gun system, but it would be highly difficult to accelerate an aircraft to hypersonic speeds so that the scramjet can take over. Even if a way could be found to accelerate an aircraft, the design shape necessary to handle hypersonic speeds is not suited for subsonic speeds necessary for landings. The craft could be slowed by a system of parachutes, but seems highly uneconomical and impractical for a
started to analyze the possibility of using them to coat nuclear reactor but they also have the ability to work as electrode for electric arc furnaces, handling of molten metals and for aerospace usage (e.g. rocket propulsion, atmospheric re-entry, hypersonic flight), this last application leaded to further investigations on UHTCs.3,4,5 Nitrides and carbides tend to have lower thermal conductivity if compared to borides (diborides have thermal conductivity similar to copper at room temperature), which
FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE In my 205 I was asked to consider how and why my writing changes from one community to another. This essay represents the results of that exploration. My writing style changes greatly between the communities of academia and newspaper journalism. In both academic and newspaper writing I am compelled to include as much information as possible, yet the two call for completely different styles. I think this difference exists because the two forms of writing have different
Wind Tunnels In this report I will talk about the wind tunnel. I will described what they are used for. The different types of wind tunnels from the slow speed subsonic to the high speed hypersonic tunnels. I will also give A few examples of the wind tunnels used today. The wind tunnel is a device used by many people, from High school students to NASA engineers. The wind tunnel is a device used to test planes to see how well it will do under certain conditions. The plane maybe as big as a full

The effects of intake modification on a Ramjet engine A ramjet intake design analysis. Supersonic and hypersonic flights often make use of a ramjet engine during the cruise phase of the flight. The design of the intake affects important variables of the ramjet engine, namely Mach number distribution, formation of shocks and pressure distribution. Analysis of a normal intake design provides lower than optimal pressure to the combustion chamber. A geometric dimension modification on the intake,
Summary In the transition period from propeller aircraft to jet aircraft, manufactures faced numerous problems and challenges during the design and test period. New technologies and test criteria were used. Using new kinds of wings and high lift devices were one of the solutions they came up with. Utilizing new materials made high speeds possible. The jet airplane allowed more passengers to be transferred efficiently and safely making flying in reach of the general public. Problem By the end of
the nozzle) the flow is free to expand to supersonic velocities; however Mach 1 can be a very high speed for a hot gas because the speed of sound varies as the square root of absolute temperature. This fact is used extensively in rocketry where hypersonic flows are required and where propellant mixtures are deliberately chosen to further increase the sonic
Everyone has a favorite superhero, it might be a hero who hides himself behind a mask and no one can see who he really is, or a hero in iron suit who saves the world from weapons that he created. Ironman and Batman have some similarities, both of them fight the villains to protect their people and their cities. They both don’t have superpowers and they use technologies and weapons to build their suits. Ironman and Batman also have many differences between them, Ironman is a hero while Batman is consider

Engineer. My undergraduate studies at Amrita University helped me gain overview about various areas of study in mechanical sciences and further paved way for finding my research interests. It was in my 3rd year of engineering, I visited “Laboratory of Hypersonic and Shock wave Research, IISc Bangalore”. There, I grabbed a chance to observe state of art research programs in the field of aerospace engineering and also an opportunity to check the live demonstration of shock tube functioning which are used
In 1903, I can only imagine that the single thought inside of both Wilbur and Orville Wright’s minds was to get their airplane off the ground. Because of their dream of heavier-than-air flight, mankind has gone from a flight of 120 feet, in an aircraft designed largely out of wood, using bicycle drive technology (World Digital Library, 2013), to a spacecraft that is about to leave our solar system (Voyager I). To quote American author, Napoleon Hill (1992), “Whatever the mind of man can conceive
highly advanced newer engines range between 12-15%. SKYLON, in collaboration with Airbus, has announced that, by 2025, they will release their first SABRE (Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine) which will be the most cutting-edge rocket motor hypersonic engine mounted in an aircraft with the least possible carbon emission levels. This engine will fully run on nuclear energy and will never need refilling on its lifespan of 20 years. The image below shows the internal structure of the SABRE rocket
Omaraid Guerrero POSC 494 When reading Virilio’s Crepuscular Dawn one must define each concept to fully grasp the theories proposed in his book. Virilio states “globalization is the world becoming too small, and not too big” (p. 89). For one to thoroughly evaluate this quote one must first understand: What is globalization and what does it involve? How does speed contribute to this occurrence? What is speed? How this lead to escape velocity? What does escape velocity entail? And finally, what does
learned from a single year of privilege in Miss Letemacki’s class. The education system in America was initially created during an Agricultural age and then re-invented for the age of industry. Over the last several years we have been moving at a hypersonic speed into a Global Information age as well as a time that creates opportunity for creation and breakthrough thinking. Many of us are working feverishly to prepare students for the challenges of this new Global marketplace. I am fortunate to be
Recently, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon.com, said in an interview that he hopes to lay the foundation for a future of heavy industry in space. He suggests that within the coming centuries, portions of space will be zoned for heavy industry, while the Earth will become exclusively residential with some zones for light industry. There are great upsides to this concept, as solar power will not be hindered as it is on Earth, and there will not be an environmental impact on the home planet. Although,
4.4. Governing Equations: Since the condition of flow in the present problem is hypersonic, the fluid velocity is pretty high. As a consequence, the fluid will not be treated as incompressible any longer because the accompanying pressure drops are comparatively pretty large. Effects of compression are very important when the fluid involved is a gas. In gaseous flows, the density of gas becomes a field variable whose value depends on the temperature and local pressure. Hence in the present problem

Fuselage Material Analysis for the Boeing 737-800 The Boeing is a narrow-body, twinjet airliner with family models that can accommodate a passenger capacity of 45-215 people. Currently, only the next generation variants (737-700, 737-800, and 737-900ER) are being assembled. This analysis delves into the fuselage material for Boeing 737 -800 (capacity ≈ 184 passengers). The first unit of Boeing 737-800 was
