System, Apparatus and Methods for a Nosecone and a Propulsive Nozzle of an Airspace Plane

Abstract

A system, apparatus and method for mitigating the shock front of a rocket or aerospace plane flying at hypersonic speeds while simultaneously distilling liquid chemical elements regeneratively from the ambient air by means of vortex inversion splines. The splines may additionally be tuned by geometry to function as both centripetal and/or isentropic thrust augmentation attribute and/or double-decker Joule-Thomson refrigeration means. Because of the stochastic stagnation flux that reaches into the absolute zero zone by means of precooling, a splined stochastically switched hypersonic nosecone may be constructively tuned into a complex Carnot refrigeration engine commanding both personal and enterprise liquid Helium distilling means with orders of magnitude efficacy gains over existing methods.

[0032] In an embodiment, FIG. 10 depicts a planetary splines gear transmission analogy 1000, wherein 1008/1009/1010 represent the outer/inner shell and the central shaft respectively and 1015 representing the contrarotating spline vortex flux. According to design rules (1) dU=δQ+δW=δQ [dU=δQ with δW=0 and dU=δW with δQ=0. Isentropic switch in accordance with the 2.sup.nd Law of Thermodynamics (preservation of energy) and (2) the sum of the splines induced (micro/inversed) vortices YY=power of the incipient/shafted vortex.

[0033] In accordance with the First Law of Thermodynamics, conservation of energy, whereby energy can be neither created nor destroyed (1) generally and/or (2) specifically in a sudden expansion in a duct or nozzle system whereby dU=δQ+δW=δQ. Here the splinesconstitute a sudden/grooved expansion in a supersonic expansion nozzle whereby (1) micro (contra rotating) vortex streams are spawned (via sudden expansion) which mirrors the master/mother vortexflux succinctly (2) the sum total of the (micro/spline) vortices equals the incipient master/mother vortex flux (3) the micro/spline flux negates (wipes out) the incipient master/mother vortex and (4) because the operation of the 1.sup.st Law of Thermodynamics, the (incipient) master/mother vortex flux is spatially transformed/reincarnated into (supersonic) isentropic streamlines whereby dU=δQ+δW=δQ. In event of a (regenerative) cryogenic shockwave piercing nozzle system dU=δQ+δW=δQ [with δW=0] and in event of an adiabatic/ceramic lined (centripetal) thrust augmentation propulsive nozzle system dU=δQ+δW=δW [with δQ=0].

[0034] However because the equation of state dU=δQ+δW=δQ must be satisfied in accordance with the First Law of Thermodynamics, the supersonic splines isentropic switch functions as (1) (supercharged) Joule-Thomson refrigeration engine in the cryogenic zone and (2) supercharged (thrust augmentation) expansion nozzle whereby dU=δQ (δW=0) with a (splined) crusonix shockwave piercing nozzle and dU=δW (δQ=0) with a centripetal SURD (supersonic ram detonation) thrust augmentation propulsive nozzle.

[0035] In order to model the dynamics of the splines hypersonic/stochastic and supersonic/isentropic transformation computationally vector matrix power factor analogy in conformance with electrical power transmission (perfect alignment of the voltage and current vectors so as to max energy/work transmission) is being applied whereby in a purist isentropic potential field the stagnation and velocity vectors are in perfectly alignment/symmetry (to max work performed) in compliance with the 1st Law of Thermodynamics (dU=δQ+δW=δW (δQ=0). Given that in a perfect electrical/fluidic (potential) field the current/voltage and stagnation pressure/velocity are in perfect alignment the power factor [COS(Ø)] must be UNITY (i.e. cos(Ø)=1.0) both ways. However, in event of current/voltage lead/lag and velocity/stagnation pressure divergence the power factor will be smaller than unity (i.e. cos(Ø)<1). In order to enumerate actual (real time) splines power factor divergence actual. (cryogenic) regression [−180 C/−170 C/−150 C/−140 C/−120 C/ 23 C] (M5 stagnation pressure) data sets has been employed that rendered cos(527 )=0.41/0.35/ 0.32/0.31/0.30/0.27 [66/70/71/72/73/74deg] as to purist (isentropic) and cos(Ø)′=0.36/0.33/0.30/0.30/0.29/0.26 [69/71/72/73/73/75deg] as to purist stochastic/random transformation respectively.

[0036] With the power factor postulation in place backed up with and actual measured (M5) hypersonic/cryogenic stagnation transformation “regression” data, the splines isentropic transformation may be modeled by an isentropical expansion as follows:

M=((Pr)̂0.286−1)×5)̂0.5 generally and Me=((Prixcos(Ø)′)̂0.286−1)×5)̂0.5 specifically and (2) T2=T1×(1+0.2Mê2)̂−1 consequently.

[0037] Applying the data cos(Ø)′=cos(Ø)×0.887, Me=[((150×0.41×0.887) ̂0.286−1)×5]̂0.5=[(3.14−1)×5]̂0.5=[10.7]̂0.5 =3.3 Conversely given Me=3.3, T2=93×(1+0.2×3.3̂−1=93×(2.18)̂−1=93/2.18=42.7K=−230.5C. Noteworthy is that although the exit Mach number Me=3.3 is 30% lower than the incipient (isentropic) front @M5, the Mach number impairment is minimal taking in account that (1) (regenerative/isothermal compression shockwave piercing utility and (2) turning the splines into a powerful refrigeration engine.
