Energy efficiency and power density analysis of a tube array liquid

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology has the advantages of large scale, environmental friendliness, long service life, and large energy storage capacity, First prototype of the tube array air compressor is being manufactured currently, as shown in Fig. 30. It will consist of airbag accumulators, tube array, a hydraulic pump, and

Design and Flight Test of a Tube-Launched Unmanned Aerial

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have already proven valuable for intelligence, search, and reconnaissance missions; however, their integration into manned aircraft to augment existing capabilities is still an emerging field. This paper describes the design of an aircraft that fits inside a G-sized sonobuoy canister, deploys from a manned aircraft in-flight, and flies for up to

Estimating the Useful Energy of a Launcher''s Pneumatic Launch

The motivation behind solving the issue of estimating the flow parameters of the pneumatic system of a launcher was the need to obtain the take-off energy with a value exceeding 80 kJ. The take-off energy and the initial speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) depends on the pressure drop time in the launcher''s pneumatic system. The aim of the

Integration of vortex tubes in a trigenerative compressed air energy

Trigenerative compressed air energy storage systems are a promising avenue to increase renewable energy penetration in isolated communities. However, throttling losses are high when air is stored

Dynamic modeling and analysis of compressed air energy storage

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology has received widespread attention due to its advantages of large scale, low cost and less pollution. However, only mechanical and thermal dynamics are considered in the current dynamic models of the CAES system. The modeling approaches are relatively homogeneous.

Thermal performance and optimization of an integrated collector–storage

The integration approach that combines SAH with LTS can be divided into methods that utilize nonintegrated collector–storage solar air heaters (NICSSAHs) and integrated collector–storage solar air heaters (ICSSAHs) [5].The heat collected by NICSSAHs needs to be transferred to thermal storage module (TSM) through a heat transfer fluid (HTF) because of

Integrated into a Common Launch Tube, the SGM is compatible with the Battle Management System as well as other weapon interfaces. The semi-active laser guided munition uses lattice control fins for aerodynamic stability and control, similar to Dynetics-developed designs used on the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast munition and the GBU-57A/B

Experimental evaluation of vortex tube and its application in a

The two compressed air energy storage plants mentioned above both operate based on conventional CAES systems. That is, they need to burn natural gas or oil to increase the inlet air temperature of the expander and thus increase the power generation, but the resulting environmental pollution and waste of quality energy cannot be ignored [13].

The water rocket: Launch tube thrust

A launch tube inside the bottle does two important things: A tube with its open end above the water level keeps the water from spilling into the launcher pipe-work, leaving it inside the bottle for the rocket to use as reaction mass. (P_text{tube}) = average pressure during traversal of the tube (Pa) (V) = volume of air in the bottle (m

Thermodynamic and economic analysis of a novel compressed air energy

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the important means to solve the instability of power generation in renewable energy systems. To further improve the output power of the CAES system and the stability of the double-chamber liquid piston expansion module (LPEM) a new CAES coupled with liquid piston energy storage and release (LPSR-CAES) is proposed.
