Trilevel performance gas generator

Abstract: A gas generator which may be used for ejecting submunitions. The gas generator comprises a diffuser chamber which is flanked by differently sized combustion chambers whereby three different ejection velocities may be achieved by firing only one of the combustion chambers or by firing both of them together. The generated gas is exited from the gas generator at the same central location, i.e., the centrally located diffuser chamber, to control submunition yaw and loading locations. The provision of combustion chambers at opposite ends of the diffuser chamber permits minimization of gas generator diameter, and a tie member in the diffuser chamber permits a non-complicated and inexpensive structure which is rugged and reliable. The gas generator may have other applications such as for inflating airbags for automobiles.

Pendent-type diffuser impingement water mist nozzle

Abstract: A pendent-type diffuser impingement water mist fire protection nozzle has a body defining an orifice and an outlet for flow of water from a source. The orifice defines an axis, and the outlet is disposed generally coaxial with the orifice. A diffuser is disposed generally coaxial with the axis of the orifice and defines a diffuser inner surface positioned for impingement of the flow of water thereupon and an opposite outer surface. The diffuser has a plurality of tines distributed about a diffuser periphery and defining a plurality of openings therebetween. The diffuser inner surface defines at least one channel extending along the inner surface of the diffuser toward a predetermined region of the diffuser periphery, preferably positioned to collect water impinging thereupon and to divert collected water toward the predetermined region of the diffuser periphery.

Preliminary Design of a Fusion Reactor Fuel Cleanup System By The Palladium-Alloy Membrane Method

Abstract: A design for a palladium diffuser and fuel cleanup system for a deuterium-tritium fusion reactor is proposed. The feasibility of the palladium-alloy membrane method is discussed based on early stud...

Abrasion resistant pump thrust bearing

Abstract: A centrifugal pump has a stationary diffuser with a bore. A thrust bearing has a tubular portion that inserts into the bore. The thrust bearing has an external shoulder that contacts a support surface in the bore of the diffuser for transmitting downward thrust from an upstream impeller to the diffuser. The thrust bearing has an internal shoulder for transmitting upward thrust from a downstream impeller to the diffuser.
