San Diego, CA and White River Junction, VT (PRWEB) July 28, 2011
Concepts NREC(CN), a world leader in turbomachinery design, research, engineering, and manufacturing, will exhibit at the 47th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit (JPC 2011) July 31 to August 3 in Booth 417 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif. Concepts NREC engineers will explain technology that underscores the company?s over 50 years of experience working on turbomachinery for aerospace propulsion, including advanced technology work for NASA on a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program project on ?Extremely High Suction Performance Inducers for Space Propulsion.? Turbomachinery engineers, designers, manufacturers, and students focused on propulsion technology will benefit from CN?s demonstrations.
?Pumps for nuclear reactor boiler feeds, vehicle fuel systems, cryogenic fluid transfer, high speed industrial systems and super critical C02 power cycles all are potential commercial applications resulting from CN?s current work on the Extremely High Suction Performance Inducers for Space Propulsion program,? says Kerry Oliphant, Aerospace Program Manager for Concepts NREC and winner of the Phase II NASA STTR program in association with Brigham Young University. ?This technology could be used for any situation where it is necessary to pump a low vapor pressure fluid, including in aerospace, automotive, industrial and civil applications.?
In line with the theme of JPC 2011 to identify and highlight how innovative aerospace propulsion technologies powering both new and evolving systems are being designed, tested and flown, CN will display examples of advanced and innovative aerospace propulsion technologies.
CN has helped many aerospace clients design, test and manufacture innovative aerospace propulsion technologies. One example is a project CN completed for Technical Directions, Inc. (TDI) in which the company improved overall TDI-J45 engine efficiency by 8% while increasing missile payload and range with minimal added cost.
CN will exhibit examples of other high performance aerospace propulsion turbomachinery and technology by demonstrating its Agile Engineering Design System
