A Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) is deployed in a hypersonic vehicle for flight in 10 km altitude. The ambient pressure and temperature are P0=26.5kPa and T0=225K, respectively.
Using the 0-D energy conservation law across the detonation wave, derive the temperature ratio, T1T0, in terms of: Mach number of the incoming flow, M0, ratio of specific heats, , specific heat at constant pressure, cp, specific heat release per unit mass q, and initial propellant temperature, T0. Assume ideal gas law with constant specific heats. In addition, assume the incoming flow velocity, u0 is significantly higher relative to the velocity of the burned gas, u1.
Assume the above temperature ratio is:
T1T0=1+-12M02+qcpT0
Evaluate the pressure ratio, P1P0, given the density ratio is 10=0.1 for =1.22,cp=2.5kJkg, and M0=3. The vehicle operates using liquid methane-oxygen propellants with q=50MJkg.
3. Calculate the thrust specific impulse of the RDRE for a mass flow rate of propellants m=5kgs, exit velocity of ue=3000ms, exit pressure Pe=50kPa, exit area of Ae=0.1m2, and gravitational acceleration g0=9.81ms2.
4. Provide three advantages and three disadvantages of RDREs over traditional rocket propulsion. For your justification, use a single sentence for each.
