Or use the rocket launch technique and spray water across the take-off
area.
Probably less than optimal. Large clouds of hot, salt water steam
would be an annoyance (at a minimum) to the deck crew. It would also
be a highly corrosive material that could serious complicate
maintenance of both ship and aircraft.
Use of fresh water would likely be an excessive demand on the
evaporators.
The piping of cooling water suggested earlier would be a better idea.
It would likely be cheaper that major modifications such as a "ski
jump" and permit the continued use of the vertical capability of the
aircraft.
A water cooled heatsink built into a part of the deck designated for "hot"
aircraft makes a lot of sense.
You could have a place underneath to stash beer, like the old sub-
mariners did.
In electronics, we have similiar problems, we usually solve using Al
heat sinks, fan air cooled, as the cheapest. Screw a few Al heat sinks
to the bottom of the locations of the deck permited to take the heat
and engage any fluid to cool it, even water if space is tight, yawn.
Ken
Pray tell, young Skywalker, what type of electronics have you designed
that has a few thousands pounds of metal land on it, controlled by a
navel aviatrix, blasting used JP4 and other noxious and profane gasses
as high speeds and easily a thousand degrees of the Farenheits? I'm
getting a case of beer and a lot of popcorn, this is going to be a
good one.


Note to Wiki: another cite for the 'Why do EE degrees have a BS in
front of them....'


Frank, note you've replied to me 3 times, somewhat sarcastically
on a topic that is borderline boring for most, but I own a patent on
a 'new and improved' woodstove, so I have an extra interest and
specialized knowledge on the subject, so I find the problem
intriguing,
About "degrees", and "diploma's" mine are buried somewhere in
archives, rusting away.
Ken


Great, now post a link to that patent.
Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired


Patents are those legal things that get tossed into archives,
to be forgotten about, but your request is interesting, do they
put that online |?| I'll check.

C-dyn is old school and for transactions use snail-mail contracts,
for example today we received an order in the mail via snail,
from Vermont, that was posted Nov.30., for customized electro
gEAR. I'm thinking of complaining about the snail-mail speed.
Recently, I received 1st class Air-mail products from Indiana,
it took 10 (f**king) days to hit our box.

If anyone is interested in an experiment, I'll send you an Xmas
card, we can do addresses via email, but mine is hEAR,
http://www.trak4.com/earco/index.html
so mail us a card.
Love & Kisses
Lynne & Ken

The Melting Deck Plates Muddle


by James Dunnigan


Earlier this year, the U.S. Navy discovered that the heat from the
MV-22's gas turbine engines, which blow their exhaust right on to the
deck of the LHD while waiting to take off, caused high enough
temperatures to the steel under the deck plates, to possibly warp the
understructure. This was already a known potential problem with the
new F-35B vertical takeoff jet fighter.
So now the Navy has two hot new aircraft that require an innovative
solution to the melting deck problem. The Navy also discovered that
the exhaust heat problem varied in intensity between different classes
of helicopter carriers (each with a different deck design.)


The Navy is looking for a solution that will not require extensive
modification of current carrier decks. This includes a lot of decks,
both the eleven large carriers, and the ten smaller LHAs and LHDs.
This is shaping up as another multi-billion dollar "oops" moment, as
the melting deck problem was never brought up during the long
development of either aircraft.


Previously, the Harrier was the only aircraft to put serious amounts
of heat on the carrier deck, but not enough to do damage. But when you
compare the Harrier engine with those on the V-22 and F-35B, you can
easily see that there is a lot more heat coming out of the two more
recent aircraft. Someone should have done the math before it became a
real problem.


Use what NASA uses for the shuttle?
Wouldn't cost that much at all


Yeah except for not walking, parking, raining, hailing or dropping a
wrench on the coating it would be great.


Actually I was thinking of what they do
at the launch pad during launch, not the
tiles on the shuttle


Ever see photos of the pad, there is a large water tower near it. I
think 3 seconds before launch, when engines start up, there is a water
infusion into the bucket that thrust goes into. Think multiple streams
of water. Sucker lights up, hits the water, massive steam and thrust
go out the channels away from the launch pad. That's the big clouds
that occur. Makes pad much more reusable.


I think Shuttle was first system to use that, could be wrong. Makes
entire complex much more reusable.


If you can get some old Shuttle launch footage, that's one of the
standard shots from NASA and main engine start.


Awesome. Lots of plumbing though.


Imagine being the pilot taking off through all that steam.
Or landing, when visibility suddenly drops to zero as you come over the pad.

Now imagine again, this time remembering that there's solid lumps of ship
only a few yards from your rotors. . .

A strong refractory coating seems much more attractive.


With a thirty knot wind over the bow?

Default just curious The Melting Deck Plates

ONR is looking for thermal management technologies that can keep the
deck surface temperature below 300ºF when exposed to MV-22 exhaust
plumes for 90 minutes before takeoff, and F-35B exhaust plumes for 2
minutes when landing. And cooling the deck is not enough - any
solution has to be compatible with the deck's non-skid coating. It
also has to be affordable and capable of being installed below deck or
retrofitted above deck. Tall order.


“Structural Evaluation of an LHD-Class Amphibious
Ship Flight Deck Subjected to Exhaust Gas Heat from a MV-22 Osprey
Aircraft,” they note that deck buckling occurs at a temperature of
160oF to 170oF. Where does the 300oF limit originate?

Response: The 300 degree F is derived from the temperature limit of
the tires on aircraft.

How concentrated is the heat flux, how large an area is involved in
the 24,000BTU/min heating? I have had difficulty getting any numbers
and the information heat flux given in the BAA did not include an area
component.

Response: A range of 3-foot to 10-foot diameter is suggested.


Max exhaust temperature anticipated?
Response: This is tightly controlled. A range of max temperatures
could be 1000– 1700 deg. F.

http://www.onr.navy.mil/~/media/File...amend0001.ashx


With hot aircraft tires being an additional concern, what about the
impact on the feet of the flight deck crew, refueling hoses, "mule"
tires, etc? It seems like this heat issue may take on the dimensions of
a "systemic" problem.

It's just the nature of naval air ops that once an aircraft (weapons
system) is established, it will become heaver, more powerful, and the
tempo of operations will increase.

3-10 feet in diameter, just like the spec said.

Is the 'spec suggesting temps of 1,000+ F are of no consequence outside
of a ten foot circle? Where is residual heat in the equation? What if
the ten foot circle moves?

It's the *exhaust" that is in the 1,000-1,700 F range. The information
may be relevant since radiated heat adds to convection. The only
useful information in that whole piece would be that temporary
deformations occur in the elastic domain, so it's really not as severe
nor urgent as would be a melting deck dripping in the ocean, thank
god.

The paper seems to be worried about some non-skid deck surfacing.
