Enabling Premixed Hydrogen-Air Combustion For Aeroengines Via Laboratory Experiment Modeling, Christopher James Caulfield May 2023

Enabling Premixed Hydrogen-Air Combustion For Aeroengines Via Laboratory Experiment Modeling, Christopher James Caulfield

Masters Theses

All combustion systems from large scale power plants to the engines of cars to gas turbines in aircraft are looking for new fuel sources. Recently, clean energy for aviation has come into the foreground as an important issue due to the environment impacts of current combustion methods and fuels used. The aircraft industry is looking towards hydrogen as a new, powerful, and clean fuel of the future. However there are several engineering and scientific challenges to overcome before hydrogen can be deployed into the industry. These issues
range from storing the hydrogen in a viable cryogenic form for an aircraft …


Identifying And Correcting First Order Effects In Explanatory Variables For Longitudinal Real Time Parameter Identification Methods In Atmospheric Turbulence, Borja Martos Aug 2013

Identifying And Correcting First Order Effects In Explanatory Variables For Longitudinal Real Time Parameter Identification Methods In Atmospheric Turbulence, Borja Martos

Doctoral Dissertations

The use of real time parameter estimation methods for dynamic flight modeling in atmospheric turbulence was studied. Real time parameter estimation results of flight data in atmospheric turbulence and in a calm atmosphere were used to explain the problem and identify potential error sources. The use of indirect atmospheric turbulence measurements for real-time parameter estimation in a linear longitudinal dynamics model was studied to account for atmospheric turbulence. It is shown that measuring the air data angles correctly makes it possible to account for atmospheric turbulence as a measured explanatory variable in the parameter estimation problem. Commercial off-the-shelf sensors were …
