Hydrocarbon-Fueled Rocket Engine With Endothermic Fuel Cooling
US Patent:
2010025, Oct 14, 2010
Filed:
Aug 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/504167
Inventors:
William B. Watkins - Tequesta FL, US
Joaquin H. Castro - West Palm Beach FL, US
Joaquin H. Castro - West Palm Beach FL, US
International Classification:
B64G 1/40, F02K 99/00
US Classification:
60204, 60267
Abstract:
A rocket engine utilizes a kerosene-based fuel in a supercritical state which is catalytically converted to lighter hydrocarbons with heat from a thrust chamber assembly which operates as a heat exchanger. This process is facilitated by a fuel stabilization deoxygenator system which removes dissolved oxygen and/or by inerting the internal surfaces of the fuel-cooled combustion chamber wall passages by applying a zeolite-based catalyst coating to permit the fuel to be heated beyond normal temperature ranges. The supercritical kerosene-based fuel is passed through a turbine and injected into the combustion chamber to burn with the gaseous oxidizer. An increased mixing efficiency between the gaseous components results in an increase in combustion efficiency and increased stability of combustion.
Stator Vane Linkage
US Patent:
4755104, Jul 5, 1988
Filed:
Apr 29, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/857203

International Classification:
F04D 2946
US Classification:
415136
Abstract:
A linkage (36) is provided for manipulating an internal component (32) of a turbofan gas turbine engine (10) in response to an externally mounted actuator (50). The linkage includes a radial torque shaft (38) supported between two spherical bearings (40, 42). The shaft (38) is slidable within the radially outer bearing (42) for accommodating relative radial movement in addition to relative axial and circumferential movement between the inner compressor case (26) and the outer fan duct (28).
