Thermodynamic optimization for a scramjet with Re-cooled Cycle

Abstract A new Re-cooled Cycle has been proposed for a regeneratively cooled scramjet to reduce the fuel flow for cooling, fuel heat sink (cooling capacity) is repeatedly used to indirectly increase the fuel heat sink, and fuel onboard is adequate to satisfy the cooling requirement for the whole hypersonic vehicle. Parametric analysis of the Re-cooled Cycle carried out in previous study shows the potential for the cycle to be optimized. A thermodynamic optimization analysis of Re-cooled Cycle for a scramjet is obtained by satisfying hydrodynamic, thermal, and Mach number constraints. The optimal cycle parameters and length allocation between the first and second cooling passages are obtained.
