Priority Directions of Research Activities

Experimental and theoretical researches of physical and chemical processes are carried out in laboratory at shock-wave influence on microporous liquids.

As a result was investigated work of the device for explosion of a wire of ring geometry in deuterated microporous liquid. At barbotage of heavy water by gaseous heavy hydrogen with a high degree of reliability is registered the output of neutrons (~10⁸ - 10¹⁰ particles) per impulse.

The equations have been received for the description of structure of shock waves in deuterated microporous liquid (a liquid with a diameter micro-bubbles d~10 - 100 mkm and volumetric gas content 0.2 - 0.95) at presence of reactions of synthesis of light nucleus on the basis of representations of "two-liquid" model (Landau, Tamm, Mott-Smith). There have been developed methods of their analytical and numerical decision.

The decision of a problem on structure of a shock wave

There are thepretically investigated parameters describing structure of a shock wave in a microporous liquid thickness of front, a structure of pressure, temperatures in micro-bubbles, a structure of average speed depending on volumetric gas content and Mach number. There is estimated The opportunity of carrying out of reactions of synthesis of light nucleus under various conditions. There are developed techniques of preparation of a microporous liquid of the set parameters by a method of explosive boiling.

This perspective direction, and results of works can be used in power engineering, transport, aviation and the food-processing industry, in life, water-preparation, clearing industrial and sewage.

Micro-bubbles technologies are used as well in research works on creation wide-range hypersound direct-flow propulsion jet engine. During works has been developed and created the working model of the direct-flow engine and also is modernized the device for manufacture and injection of microporous fuel.

Technological stages at receiving of " the activated porous fuel "

1. Preliminary gases barbotage under pressure of initial fuel (for example, aviation kerosene) with dispergator usage;
2. The subsequent gating it through the cavitator in which there is a further crushing of bubbles;
3. Shock-wave processing gas-dispersed mixes;
4. Dispersion this mix in a stream of air.

Burning of kerosene in supersonic stream M=1.3

As a result of works the base of the measuring equipment has been modernized and considerably expanded, performance data of the stand and model of the direct-flow engine was determined experimentally;

interaction characteristics of of a stream of a microporous liquid with a supersonic stream were investigated, processes firing and burning of kerosene in a supersonic stream in case of application of microporous fuel were experimentally studied;

The set of fundamental problems was solved, in particular, a problem about structure of a shock wave in a microporous liquid, and also a problem about interaction of a microporous stream with running stream of air.

In the laboratory the theoretical base was developed and the first experimental data (realizations of effects indirectly confirming an opportunity gas-dynamic cumulation of energy in cluster plasma) for creation of the nuclear detonation engine were received.

For what experimental plants for reception of collimated stream of neutrons of high density and for research of processes of easing of shock waves at passage of porous environments were created; conditions are received and methods of carrying out of reactions of division in essential undercritical mode are developed; methods of reception of collimated neutron bunch with high density were developed and based that enables to spend nuclear transformations with high efficiency in small volume and with a low trotyl equivalent.

The conditions have been received when intensity of influence of a shock wave on a design can be weakened on the order and more. The experimental plants for checking theoretical conclusions have been developed and created.

The theoretical and experimental results proving an opportunity of creation collimated of a bunch of neutrons of high density

The effective temperature in view of collective interaction is defined under the formula:

Where Е – cluster energy in keV, N - number of molecules in cluster, No~120 - number of molecules in cluster, for which the output of a product of reaction ²D+²D is maximal.

On the basis of preliminary results the concept proving an opportunity of practical realization of cluster synthesis of light nucleus has been developed.

The basic scheme of impellent installation and elements of its design

The scheme of work of the device at charge switching

The basic scheme of a spaceship

Creation of the detonation space engine will allow in 5 - 10 times to reduce time of flight to Mars, Jupiter, Io at essential greater useful loading (in comparison with liquid rocket engine).

The important advantage of the detonation nuclear engine in front of nuclear engines of other designs is that in this case not so sharply there is a problem of dump of superfluous heat in space. The last allows to reduce essentially weight of a design and to reduce the price of cost of a spaceship.

Precomputations have shown, that it is possible to receive draft P = 400 t and specific impulse J = 5400 s. It significally exceeds parameters for liquid rocket engine on J and electrojet nuclear engines on P.

One more advantage of the given detonation nuclear engine before liquid rocket engine and nuclear engines of other designs is that instead of hydrogen and oxygen for liquid rocket engine hydrogen for a lot of nuclear engines of traditional designs in it as substance of engine is supposed to use a porous ice which it is possible to prepare directly onboard the flying device.

The variant of the engine for the ship is possible with the purpose of transportation of people with higher speed, but with smaller useful loading, and for transportation of cargoes with smaller speed, but with greater useful loading. Cruising speed in the first case makes V = 55 km/s in the second V = 40-25 km/s.
