A power and thermal management system for long endurance hypersonic vehicle

Due to the pneumatic heating and combustion effect, the scramjet engine of hypersonic vehicle faces high temperature challenge. It is necessary to comprehensively consider its thermal management and power generation together. A new Power and Thermal Management System (PTMS) combined with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO₂) closed Brayton cycle and fuel vapor turbine is proposed and discussed in this paper. The new PTMS can meet the cooling requirement of hypersonic vehicle at Mach number 6–7, and avoid the coking and scrapping in the scramjet cooling channels. Compared with the PTMS only based on fuel vapor turbine, the new PTMS utilizes the waste heat of scramjet to generate more electricity. In addition, it can reduce the use of fuel sink for cooling, and the additional weight penalty can be compensated for long endurance hypersonic flight.     

耐高温柔性PI 气凝胶的合成与性能

以3,3’,4,4’ -联苯四酸二酐(BPDA)和含咪唑环的芳香族二胺,2-(4-氨基苯基) -5-氨基苯并
咪唑(4-APBI)或2-(3-氨基苯基) -5-氨基苯并咪唑(3-APBI) 为聚合单体,以八( 氨基苯基) 聚倍半硅氧烷
(OAPS)为交联剂,采用超临界CO2 干燥工艺制备了两种PI 气凝胶,PIA-1(BPDA/4-APBI/ OAPS) 与PIA-2
(BPDA/3-APBI/ OAPS)。研究表明,制备的PI 气凝胶具有纳米串珠状的微观结构,其泡孔最可几孔径分别为
22 nm(PIA-1)与14 nm(PIA-2)。PIA-1 与PIA-2 的密度分别为0. 105 和0. 080 g/ cm3,BET 表面积分别为
693 和302 m2 / g。此外,制备的PI 气凝胶具有良好的柔韧性与耐热稳定性,Tg 超过了350℃,T5
d 超过了530℃。
