The steady-state performance of a moving-object tracking filter is theoretically analyzed, assuming the simultaneous measurement of the range and range-rate (RRM system), and the use of linear frequency modulated (LFM) waveforms (RRM-LFM filter). An efficient analytical steady-state performance index, called an RMS index, is derived for the RRM-LFM filter to clarify the steady-state range prediction errors, theoretically. Using the derived RMS index, the optimal performance of the RRM-LFM filter is analyzed. The performance variation due to the use of LFM waveforms is clarified for the RRM tracking system. The theoretical performance analysis verifies that the measured range-rate significantly improves the tracking accuracy, compared to the conventional range-only measuring LFM tracking filter. Furthermore, the quantitative relationships among the measurement accuracy, degree of target maneuvering, and steady-state range prediction errors are clarified to validate the effectiveness of the RRM-LFM filter.

This paper describes the steady state performance analysis of a 3-shaft closed cycle helium turbine using nuclear heat source. The analysis is carried out using a computer program, which is specifically made for this cycle. The computer model was tested for various Turbine Entry Temperatures (TET) and absolute pressures. The analysis of the change was focused on the compressors, as these are relatively more critical than the rest of the equipments. The change in TET triggered changes in shaft speed, mass flow rate, power output, absolute pressure etc. Adjustable guide vanes were used to study the operation with constant surge margin. The closed cycle was tested for various absolute pressures and it was established that the efficiency will not be affected in using the inventory control for the load variation.
