液氧甲烷膨胀循环变推力发动机系统方案对比研究

当前对液氧甲烷膨胀循环变推力火箭发动机的研制难点和关键技术认识不够清楚,尤其是在大变比推力调节方案方面。基于整个发动机系统,采用理论计算方法,探讨甲烷膨胀做功能力以及变推力调节方案可行性。分别给出了单涡轮系统方案和双涡轮系统方案,首次给出了不同工况下详细的系统状态参数分布,进行了对比分析,并探讨了甲烷做功能力随室压的变化规律。研究结果表明,甲烷做功能力随着室压的减小呈现先减小后增大的趋势,单涡轮和双涡轮系统方案均能够实现大范围推力调节;相比单涡轮方案,双涡轮方案能够更好地保证混合比,且甲烷气体做功能力利用效率更高,氧涡轮和燃料涡轮功率变化范围较窄,涡轮所处环境较为缓和,因此双涡轮系统方案具备一定优势。     

Quantitative monitoring of military transformation in the period 1992–2010: Do the protagonists of transformation really change more than other countries?

Military transformation is a complex, slow, asymmetric, changeable, political, and not necessarily completely rational process that clearly needs an effective monitoring mechanism. This paper fills a gap in current literature by creating and testing a model for multi-dimensional and multi-level quantitative monitoring of military transformation applicable in any country. The model is based on 10 transformation indicators that reflect changes in organizational structure, personnel structure, weapon systems, and defense spending. Its application on a sample of seven countries (USA, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, and China) in the period from 1992 to 2010 unexpectedly shows that the USA – a protagonist in the transformation process among allies as well as globally – has carried out the smallest relative change. The non-directed transformation index indicates that Russia carried out 51.8% more change (or 34.1 index units), and the directed index indicates that Poland carried out 157.2% (or 40.8 index units) more change than the USA.
