brief breakdown of the combustion chamber system i’ve been working on. the design incorporates regenerative cooling where the jet a fuel (at 2~4 bar) flows through a channel, absorbing heat from the chamber walls (10-15mm). based on the math, the fuel absorbs ~172 kW of heat, with a temp rise of about 90°F, preheating it to ~190°F before injection. i’m still debating whether to pump the fuel to a radiator for extra cooling or just let it flow straight back into the stream. while 190°F isn’t exactly “cool”, it’s a hell of a lot cooler than the combustion chamber temps, so it still does its job. note: my physical model doesn’t include this regen cooling aspect yet since i’m still experimenting with different configurations and seeing what works best.”

It’s a cool feeling, isn’t it? I logged into my old grabcad account that I used in high school and I put a bracket that we designed for our 2018 FRC robotics competition on the site purely as a backup I checked in on it a few months ago and it has like 1000 downloads for some reason 😂

@onebigorangecom Off to the Gulag with you why would you put this image in my mind

your formula yields about 29 j because you used 1000/min directly instead of converting rpm to rad/s. 1 rpm equals 2π/60 (0.10472) rad/s, 1000 rpm is 104.7 rad/s. if you convert 20 lb to 9.07 kg and 6 in to 0.1524 m and 104.7 rad/s, the energy is 0.5 × 9.07 kg × (0.1524 m)² × (104.7 rad/s)² = 1155 j, 29 j result comes from treating rpm as if it were in rad/s. Sidenote, I failed an exam because of this exact same thing

@CooperZurad If you melt octopus into a cauldron, apparently you get super intelligence

@svueijsbz your right , let’s assume it’s a 12 inch wheel then , of my math is right it’s around 1100j

@goth600 bro thinks it’s optional

everyone relax , the aliens have been priced in
