This paper presents a design of centrifugal compressor and air intake for micro turbojet engine of 200 N thrust. Because of the small size of the micro turbine engines the air intake is designed in the form of bellmouth air intake in order to capture the needed amount of mass flow rate (0.45 kg/s). The function of the air intake is to deliver the air to the entry of the centrifugal compressor. The air intake has been drawn with start-up motor to take in the consideration the effect. The centrifugal compressor was designed to deliver 3.8 pressure ratio with efficiency about 77%. The compressor impeller was built with 7 main blades and 7 splitters in order to reduce the effect of slip at the exit of the impeller due to pressure difference between pressure and suction side of the main blade. Diffuser of 13 vanes also was designed to increase the static pressure, direct the flow to the combustion chamber and decrease the flow velocity before to enhance the combustion process. The structural integrity for impeller was validated using ANSYS software for aluminum alloy 7075-T6; 7075651. In addition, the aerodynamic analysis was investigated using NUMECA software. The most important findings of the extensive analysis were; the impact of air intake on compressor performance is very crucial. It add an increment in efficiency and pressure ratio, it should be taken in consideration in early design stage of the compressor. The highest performance characteristics of compressor were achieved by accurate design optimization of impeller-diffuser interaction.

This paper describes the design and fabrication of a device measuring mass properties include mass, the center of gravity, and moment of inertias properties by integrating three operations into one equipment device for the object GRAD rocket. This paper focuses only on measuring mass and center of gravity in a single setup. The design is dividing into three steps. The first step is to explain how to measure the mass and center of gravity. The second step is the design and fabrication considerations of the equipment device. In the third step, the data acquisition systems for load cell using PLC. Test results of fabricated devices on a calibrated bar are homogeneity, and its center of gravity is also known. The mass and center of gravity of the GRAD rocket are a measure for three samples. And the results were within the required tolerance with high accuracy compared to CAD software, and the results achieved a percentage error rate of less than 5% for both the mass and center of gravity.

Composite propellants are energetic materials have ability to ignite, burn fast and cause several simultaneous exothermic chemical reactions which produce huge amounts of gases under high pressures and temperatures which can spread spontaneously. 1n the present study, the explosive material hexogen (Cyclo tri-methylene tri-nitramine) was used to improve the performance properties of composite propellants, especially the specific impulse. For several formulations of hexogen at different added percentages, the specific impulse was calculated using thermodynamic calculations program of composite propellants. The results given were compared with those formulations not including hexogen. It was seen that; hexogen caused a significant positive effect in the specific impulse. Accordingly, the energy of composite propellant was improved positively in the samples containing hexogen till 40% of the oxidizer ratio. Also, it was noticed that the specific impulse began to decrease gradually for the oxidizers containing more than 40% of hexogen which caused in a decreasing of composite propellant energy. Finally, it was concluded that, the use of some amount of explosive materials like hexogen can improve composite propellants energy successfully.

In some communication systems, it is desirable for the receiver to synchronize to the received signal and to adjust the equalizer without having knowledge of a training sequence. Blind equalization uses the initial adjustment of the coefficients without making use of a training sequence. Different adaptive blind equalization algorithms have been developed over the past four decades. In this paper, we investigate the effect of blind equalization on space communication channels. The space channel under investigation is considered to be a multipath frequency selective channel having four paths. The channel is subjected to the phenomenon of InterSymbol Interference (ISI) which severely degrades the performance of the space communication system. Two blind algorithms are used in equalizer adjustment. The impulse responses of the space channel, the blind equalizer and the combination of channel and equalizer for QPSK and 16-QAM transmission are shown. The scatter diagrams for the transmitted sequence, received sequence, and the output of the equalizer using two of the blind algorithms are shown.

This paper is devoted to show the effect of changing the design of the first punch on the wear consumption of the second punch by redesigning, simulating and manufacturing of the first punch for 107 mm warhead in order to reduce the consumption in the second punch, increase the productivity and also produce the product with high quality. SOLIDWORKS software for design and simufact forming for analysis has been used to design and manufacturing the first punch. Simufact forming has been used to study the die wear to determine the consumption rate of the second punch. The effective stress that affect the properties of the final product has been calculated by simufact. A comparison between the second punch which has been used after using the designed first punch and after using the old first punch shows that the wear in the second punch after using the new design is less than the wear in the second punch after using the old one, which means the life time of the second punch after using the new designed first punch will be longer than using it after using the old first punch. The various machining processes which is required for producing the punch are done, beside heat treatments. Final results of this work show that it is possible to improve the dies and use it in the optimal way also it prove the possibility of manufacturing dies locally instead of importing it from outside Sudan.

This paper aims to determine and study the effect of applying a lean manufacturing approach on reducing cycle time in producing tube cases of the product Sh-3 missile. Since the tube case is the critical part of the sh-3 missiles set and it represents the bottleneck of a Sh-3 missile, the overall cycle time & increasing productivity is depending on it. Lean manufacturing is used to obtain the best resource utilization in various fields, in military manufacturing case, there are special conditions of operation and manufacturing which need a special deal and solutions, using the same tools of approach. In this article, waste analysis,waste identification, and waste elimination were applied using (PDSA approach, 5s, 8 wastes, PokaYoka, visual management, Kaizen, SMED) tools, the optimum cycle time will be determined after applying this study and will be presented in terms of hours and percentage of the previous situation. Generally, the current situation shows that the tube case of the product sh-3 missile is produced in 51 working days with 8 working days between each product and other. The predicted results of this study giving about 10% reduction in the cycle time of the target product.

One of the standard conditions for solidifying composite propellants consist of hydroxyl terminated poly-butadiene as a binder and ammonium perchlorate as oxidizer, is the curing process for certain time in a certain temperature. On this paper, the motives and reasons for the decreasing of this curing time were studied and discussed. The study and discussion include the productivity, cost, delivery, manpower, and maintenance points of view. By experiments and questionnaire work, it was seen that, all the previous points of view were affected positively. Generally, the productivity of the propellant was increased by 100%, the cost of curing process was decreased by 25% of the previous cost, the man power needed for the process of waiting and recording the readings was decreased by 50%, customer delivery process was fasted by 50% of the previous delivery time, and finally the maintenance processes due to equipment depreciation were improved by 50% from the previous. From the whole point of view, it was seen that, the decreasing of the curing time is very useful for the production of the propellant. Finally, it is observed that the decreasing of the curing time to the half time brought the same properties of the standard curing time, and then it is concluded that the deceasing of the curing time can be applied safely and usefully in the casting production line.
