Description

Declassified 26 Nov 1973.<><DSN>29:020150<ABS>has resulted from a sophisticated consideration of its application as a ramjet engine. An idealized reactor power profile was derived directed toward optimizing the transfer of heat energy to the airstream. Some twenty-six classes of fueled tubes have been used to tailor both axial and radial reactor power profiles accordingly. Procedures for the fabrication of components and assembly of the reactor have consequently become tedious and lengthy to safe-guard agalnst errors. The calculations presented were done to estimate the price, in terms of engine performance, of one simplification in design. At present the Tory II-C reactor has … continued below

An idealized reactor power profile was derived directed toward optimizing the transfer of heat energy to the airstream.

Procedures for the fabrication of components and assembly of the reactor have consequently become tedious and lengthy to safe-guard agalnst errors. The calculations presented were done to estimate the price, in terms of engine performance, of one simplification in design. At present the Tory II-C reactor has an axial fuel loading pattern with concentrations decreasing in six steps. The simplification considered is the removal of this axial variation while preserving the radial power profile. Neutronics calculations were done with the Angie code to find the resulting power profile. This in turn provided the input for the reactor performance code DASH N. (auth)
