Real-time monitoring of combustion behavior is a crucial step toward actively controlled rotating detonation engine (RDE) operation in laboratory and industrial environments. Various machine learning methods have been developed to advance diagnostic efficiencies from conventional postprocessing efforts to real-time methods. This work evaluates and compares conventional techniques alongside convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures trained in previous studies, including image classification, object detection, and time series classification, according to metrics affecting diagnostic feasibility, external applicability, and performance. Real-time, capable diagnostics are deployed and evaluated using an altered experimental setup. Image-based CNNs are applied to externally provided images to approximate dataset restrictions. Image classification using high-speed chemiluminescence images and time series classification using high-speed flame ionization and pressure measurements achieve classification speeds enabling real-time diagnostic capabilities, averaging laboratory-deployed diagnostic feedback rates of 4–5 Hz. Object detection achieves the most refined resolution of [Formula: see text] in postprocessing. Image and time series classification require the additional correlation of sensor data, extending their time-step resolutions to 80 ms. Comparisons show that no single diagnostic approach outperforms its competitors across all metrics. This finding justifies the need for a machine learning portfolio containing a host of networks to address specific needs throughout the RDE research community.

Advanced engine designs and alternative fuels introduce the possibility of supercritical fuel injection in aviation gas turbines and diesel engines, as is already the case for many rocket engines. Previous studies have focused mainly on fuel–air mixing in the supercritical regime after injection. However, injector requirements to achieve supercritical flow at the exit have not been investigated systematically. In this study, supercritical flow in an injector is analyzed using computational fluid dynamics with a real gas model and fluid properties derived from Helmholtz equations of state. Three operational challenges are illustrated depending upon the fuel: 1) large decreases in pressure and temperature within the injector, 2) injector choking, and 3) supersonic expansion of the supercritical jet. These challenges are addressed by developing and validating a one-dimensional, nonisentropic model of supercritical flow in the injector. This reduced-order model can guide injector designs for different fuels and applications and help decouple the injector supercritical flow from that in the downstream chamber to significantly reduce the computational effort for fuel–air mixing simulations. Results show that larger-diameter injectors are generally required to achieve supercritical injection with a fuel energy injection rate per unit area matching that of a typical diesel injector.

Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations with submodels of turbulence, chemistry, fluid–surface interaction, and radiation are performed in this work to rebuild the internal ballistics of an experimentally tested hybrid rocket engine with paraffin and gaseous oxygen as propellants. Firstly, the effects of the prechamber and postchamber cavities at the initial, average, and final diameter of a reference burn are assessed to be negligible. Then, numerical simulations modeling the fuel shape change in space and time are compared to simulations performed at uniform port radius. The latter provide reasonable regression rate, pressure, and final grain profile predictions with reduced computational cost. On the other hand, the more computationally expensive fuel shape change simulations improve the model prediction capabilities providing a more accurate comparison with experimental data. The fuel shape change approach is finally applied with success to simulations of a throttled burn.

This study explores the rheological, mechanical, and ballistic properties of printed ammonium perchlorate composite propellant at 82.5% solids loading with binders curable with ultraviolet light of wavelength from 215 to 400 nm (UV). A polybutadiene urethane acrylate and two polyester urethane acrylate propellants are printed by an in-house-fabricated fused deposition molding printer. Propellants are all shear-thinning and have significantly lower viscosity than similar hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants. Uniaxial stress–strain measurements indicate that ultimate tensile strength and ultimate tensile strain of all photocurable propellants are found to be greater than HTPB propellant. In particular, the ultimate tensile strain of polyester urethane acrylate propellant is six times that of HTPB propellant, demonstrating high compliance. Ballistic properties are measured from combustion of printed propellant articles in a windowed Crawford combustion bomb at inert gas pressures of up to 12.1 MPa. The burning characteristics were found to be relatively planar, though strong burning rate anisotropy, expected as a result of print layer inhomogeneities, was observed in two of the three formulations. Overall, pressure exponents of the propellants were mild and ranged from 0.17 to 0.33. These results are compared and contrasted to those of other printed propellants. These results provide valuable insight into the selection of a safe binder system for printing of photocurable composite propellants.

The instantaneous fuel regression rate within a solid-fuel ramjet combustor was characterized using X-ray radiography and ultrasonic transducer measurements. Experiments were performed with cylindrical center-perforated hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene fuel grains at three mass fluxes ([Formula: see text]) with consistent inlet total temperatures and chamber pressures. Ultrasonic transducer measurements demonstrated changes of web thickness ranging from 7.50 to 9.85 mm and regression rate measurements ranging from 1.35 to [Formula: see text]. The local maxima of change in the web thickness due to flow reattachment and erosive burning were consistently measured with the ultrasonic transducers. Changes in the port radius on the order of 8–9 mm and regression rates of approximately [Formula: see text] were deduced from the X-ray radiography images. The structure of the flow reattachment region was evident in measurements from the X-ray radiography images captured near the combustor entrance, whereas images captured at the midlength of the combustor exhibited more uniform fuel regression profiles. Ultrasonic measurements of change in the web thickness were consistently greater in magnitude relative to X-ray radiography measurements. X-ray radiography imaging allowed for the more accurate measurement of fuel regression with the greatest axial spatial resolution, whereas ultrasonic transducer measurements yielded the greatest radial spatial resolution. The change in web thickness calculated with weight-based techniques yielded smaller-magnitude measurements of change in the web thickness relative to X-ray radiography. The regression rate was largely invariant with the mass flux within the investigated operating regime.

Nuclear thermal propulsion can potentially reduce the time of flight and spacecraft system mass needed for human spaceflight beyond cislunar space. This nuclear propulsion system has comparable thrust capability to chemically impulsive systems, which at about twice the specific impulse, can double the delta-velocity ([Formula: see text]) for the same propellant mass. However, the canonical problem for nuclear propulsion has always been that its benefits are shadowed by low technology readiness of a complex system. This paper describes a combined cycle nuclear thermal rocket (CCNTR) system architecture for propulsion and electrical power that comprises a 42-MWt-capable nuclear reactor core to provide 9.4 kN thrust on demand at a specific impulse of 940 s. The liquid hydrogen propellant flow through the rocket chamber cools the reactor during burns, thereby producing thrust while concurrently rejecting waste heat to space. The reactor also produces up to 100 kWe power for the spacecraft, eliminating the need for solar power generation and averting challenges associated with restarting a cold reactor for propulsive burns. Radiators reject the waste heat from electrical power production. Earth-to-Mars orbital transfers less than 100 days appear feasible assuming 680,000 kg of liquid hydrogen propellant and a vehicle dry mass of 83,000 kg that includes the 13,000 kg CCNTR system. Together, these results suggest that a CCNTR could be most promising to enable crewed missions to Mars.

An experimental study was conducted on electrically controllable solid propellants (ECSPs) created using a polyethylene oxide polymer binder, lithium perchlorate, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The propellants decompose and ignite shortly after the application of a voltage potential and extinguish when the voltage is removed under atmospheric conditions. The ignition delay as a function of the applied voltage magnitude was determined for a range of ECSP compositions. Pressurized experiments were conducted in an optically accessible strand burner to characterize the burning properties of the ECSPs as a function of pressure and electrical power. Additional experiments were conducted at elevated pressures where the voltage potential was removed and reapplied to extinguish and reignite the propellant and determine the self-extinction limits of the ECSPs. The results demonstrate that small compositional changes can drastically impact the ability to extinguish the ECSPs at elevated pressures.
