During hypersonic flight or cruise in the near space, the aerodynamic heating causes a very high temperature on the leading edge of hypersonic vehicles. Transpiration cooling has been recognized the most effective cooling technology. This paper presents an experimental investigation on transpiration cooling using liquid water as coolant for a nose cone model of hypersonic vehicles. The nose cone model consists of sintered porous material. The experiments were carried out in the Supersonic Jet Arc-heated Facility (SJAF) of China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics (CAAA) in Beijing. The cooling effect in the different regions of the model was analyzed, and the shock wave was exhibited. The pressure variations of the coolant injection system were continuously recorded. The aim of this work is to provide a relatively useful reference for the designers of coolant driving system in practical hypersonic vehicles.

Coke drums are vertical pressure vessels used in the delayed coking process in petroleum refineries and oil sands plants. Significant temperature variation during the delayed coking process causes damage in coke drums in the form of bulging and cracking. In order to better understand the damage mechanisms, an experimental investigation of coke drum material behavior under various thermal-mechanical loading conditions was performed. A thermal-mechanical material testing system is successfully designed and implemented. Six types of various thermal-mechanical cyclic tests were performed: 1. cyclic thermal loading under constant uniaxial stress; 2. in-phase thermal and mechanical stress cycling; 3. out-of-phase thermal and mechanical stress cycling; 4. fully-reversed uniaxial cyclic loading with in-phase thermal cycling; 5. in-phase thermal-axial stress cycling with constant circumferential stress; 6. in-phase thermal-axial stress cycling with mean stress. Some of theses tests are similar to the actual loading scenario experienced by the coke drums. The experimental findings lead to better understanding of the damage mechanisms occurring in coke drums such as bulging.

An experimental investigation was conducted to characterize the benefits of warm prestress (WPS) in limiting crack extension in the wall of a nuclear vessel during a LOCA-ECCS. The present research emphasized material behavior under conditions of a small ΔT between the temperature of WPS and the failure temperature as might occur during a LOCA. The results have demonstrated that fracture will not occur during a simultaneous unloading and cooling of the crack-tip region following WPS even though the critical KIc of the virgin material is achieved. Based on a statistical analysis, it is concluded that WPS produces an “effective” elevation in KIc; furthermore, it is suggested that this elevation will limit crack extension in the vessel wall so as to retain the coolant.
