Since I Was a Special Soldier

Chapter 1478: unprecedented

   Lao Liu and the others were a little curious about the questions Jiang Yanhai raised. Jiang Yanhai’s thinking style was different from them. There were many things that they had never thought of before Jiang Yanhai raised it.

   "What design?" Professor Liu and Professor Hu, as well as several other fighter design experts are a bit curious.

   Speaking of it, although the Phantom was designed by Jiang Yanhai, his own task is relatively heavy, so the usual small details and minor improvements of the Phantom are all done by these professors.

   Of course, when they are improving the Phantom, they are also constantly learning. For this, these professors know it well.

   Not to mention anything else, it is said that many of the designs of the Phantom hadn't been thought of before.

   And now the Phantom has begun the next generation of research and development, and these people also come here with a learning attitude.

   Although they are all Jiang Yanhai’s uncles and even grandparents, they are really lacking in design.

"Yes, you have seen the performance of this new material, high temperature resistance, thermal expansion resistance, and it can also actively absorb radar waves, similar to the existing composite materials. The most important thing is the other few behind it. performance."

   "When these properties are combined, the plasticity of this material is very strong, so I have an idea. Now the speed of the Phantom is not limited by the engine, but by its material."

   "So, have you ever thought that if all its shells are made of this material, we can integrate thermoelectric power generation and thermorefrigeration inside it." Jiang Yanhai said his thoughts.

  Temperature power generation...Everyone was taken aback. Generally speaking, this thing has nothing to do with fighter jets.

   Do you say that fighter jets need electricity? This is of course necessary. For example, power is needed to start the engine. Some fighter jets were designed to not even be able to start the engine autonomously. Instead, ground power vehicles were required to start. In other words, almost all modern fighter jets, unless necessary, Ground-engined vehicles are driven by ground-powered vehicles.

   When the engine is successfully driven, it will switch to the in-flight power supply. Of course, it does not mean that the fighter does not have the ability to start the engine by itself, but for safety reasons, as long as it is not an emergency task, it will use the ground power vehicle.

   And the power consumption of each fighter's electronic equipment is extremely terrifying, whether it is a high-power radar or other various electronic instruments.

   Like the J10, it is also equipped with a fuel cell as a backup power source.

   These are all things that can't be helped. After all, the amount of electricity generated by the engine is really stressful sometimes.

   But the current solution, there is no solution, it is to use the engine to drive power generation and then supply electricity to use electronic equipment.

  If the fighter has sufficient power, then it has other options. For example, its fuel consumption will definitely be reduced, and fuel consumption will decrease, so the combat radius will naturally increase.

But the previous fighter jets, apart from the nuclear power just proposed, the previous fighter jets could not have other power generation methods, and now, as Jiang Yanhai said, these old professors contacted this new material, and they all felt that this matter ...Something!

  Temperature power generation, as the name suggests, is not like the traditional power generation method that uses thermal energy. The traditional power generation method that uses thermal energy is simply to boil water.

   Including nuclear power plants, etc., all boil water, while thermoelectric power generation directly uses the temperature difference of materials to directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy.

   However, the efficiency of thermoelectric power generation is extremely low. The previous materials were only about 6%. According to different materials, it was about 3%-10%, but most of them were about 6%.

   The thermal efficiency of thermal power plants varies according to their technical level, but most thermal power plants have a thermal efficiency of about 40%.

  In other words, 60% of the heat is consumed in the process of power generation.

   These power generation methods such as temperature difference power generation are not to mention.

   But that was before, thermoelectric power generation mainly depends on the material, and this new material can increase the thermal efficiency of thermoelectric power generation to more than 20.

   About 20%-25%, this efficiency is already extremely terrifying.

   You know, this is at least three or four times more efficient than before!

More importantly, the new generation of Phantom, if it uses conventional power, its cruising speed can reach 4.5 Mach, then the 4.5 Mach cruising speed means that the temperature outside the body will be about 500-600 degrees Celsius, part of the body surface The temperature will exceed 600 degrees Celsius.

   This kind of temperature is all in vain. If this kind of temperature is used for thermoelectric power generation, not to mention how much it can generate, at least it is a huge supplement to the power of the fighter.

At that time, the Phantom is estimated to be at supersonic speed. You think, the normal cruising speed is above Mach 4.5, and the ordinary flight speed is estimated to be supersonic ~lightnovelpub.net~ and some missions performed by the Phantom are due to its combat radius. The relationship is estimated to be long-distance operations.

  It is a good thing to save energy in such operations.

   In the process of thermoelectric power generation, heat is consumed, and if possible, thermoelectric refrigeration can be integrated.

   This is equivalent to improving the high temperature resistance of the fighter aircraft during flight, and the cockpit environment where the pilot is located will also become better.

"We can experiment with this. If possible, it will have a huge role in aerospace, especially for the return capsule, as well as the returnable space shuttle, rocket, and even satellite power supply methods that we will cover later. Waiting is helpful." Professor Liu and they all took a deep breath.

They also did not expect that Jiang Yanhai would come up with such a new material not long after he left. Although it was calculated from the results of the materials researched by the Institute of Materials, it is also considered a new material. ,

   Because the properties and properties of materials have undergone tremendous changes, it can even be said that they are completely different.

"Then trouble a few professors. I may not have much time recently, but I think this material has great potential. In addition, they seem to be using this material in the research of controlled nuclear fusion, but I think they use it. The material is still not optimal, I will try to calculate it." Jiang Yanhai made a bottom first.

"Don't worry, these things are left to us. I really don't know what to say about you. I feel like you can do everything. If you can really optimize, then we may not really be able to completely get controllable nuclear fusion." Professor Liu and their expressions also became serious.
