Cryosurgery is a procedure in which diseased tissue is destroyed by freezing. During a strictly controlled process, low temperature is used to separate diseased from healthy tissue with minimal bleeding. It is an effective method that has been applied in many areas of medicine for a number of years, especially in dermatology, oncology, laryngology, gynecology, vascular surgery and ophthalmology. There are many technical solutions different probes for applying low temperature to tissue. The detailed construction of the probes are trade secrets and will not be discussed here. In the paper the authors present the results of research on a chosen type of cryosurgical probe for various conditions: feeding gases, flow rates and external conditions. The results are illustrated in the form of graphs showing the temperature of the tip of the probes in changing conditions.

This paper presents research into a resistojet model that can be powered by supercapacitors for satellite propulsion applications. The performance of the system, calculated including a preliminary study of mass and power budget, shows that this solution has potential for a certain range of space missions. The main problem when designing a pulsed resistojet is the compromise between the thermal capacity of the resistojet and the heat transfer efficiency of the device. When the heater is used in pulsed mode, it should have low mass and thermal capacity in order to reduce the energy required to heat the devices. On the other hand, the main technical restriction in resistojet thrusters is heat transfer due to the laminar regime of the flow in the heater. The heat transfer area should be as large as possible, but the mass of the device limits any such increase in area. In this research several design options were considered in an attempt to find the optimal solution. After research on the oscillating element and porous heater, capillary tubes directly heated by the current were determined to be the most effective solution. A power supply based on supercapacitors was constructed. It consists of 30 supercapacitors of 300 F each, connected to deliver 70 V of voltage, 10F of total capacitance and maximum peak power of 5 kW. Research for three different gases – ammonia, propane and butane – was conducted and the results are presented in this paper.

From 2010 Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) and Institute of Aviation (IoA) jointly implement the project under the Innovative Economy Operational Programme entitled ‘Turbine engine with detonation combustion chamber’. The goal of the project is to replace the combustion chamber of turboshaft engine GTD-350 with an annular detonation chamber. During the project, the numerical group that aims to develop computer code allowing researchers to simulate investigated processes has been established. Simulations provide wide range of parameters that are hardly available from experimental results and enable better understanding of investigated processes. Simulations may be also considered as a cheap alternative for experiments, especially when testing geometrical optimizations. In this paper the analysis of simulation results of the combustion chamber of the Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) investigated at the IoA in Warsaw is presented. Primarily, REFLOPS USG which has become a fundamental numerical tool in the research of the RDE at the IoA is briefly described and governing equations and numerical methods used are shortly presented. Some aspects of numerical simulations of the RDE, related to selection of combustion mechanism, and an initiation of rotating detonation are provided. Secondly, results of simulations of inviscid gas with numerical injectors of hydrogen are compared with available experimental results. Three different wave patterns are identified in numerical solution and briefly described. Results of simulations are compared to experimental results in combustion chamber. Results presented in this paper are part of the project UDA-POIG.01.03.01-14-071 ‘Turbine engine with detonation combustion chamber’ supported by EU and Ministry of Regional Development, Poland.

This paper describes the development of a computational code REFLOPS USG (REactive FLOw solver for Propulsion Systems on UnStructured Grids) based on the Favre averaged Navier-Stokes equations with chemical reactions for semi-ideal multicomponent gas to predict the structure and dynamics of three-dimensional unsteady detonation as it occurs in the Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE). This work provides an overview of second order accurate in time and space finite volume method applied to conservation equations and its implementation on unstructured self-adaptive tetrahedral or hexahedral three-dimensional cell-centred meshes. The inviscid fluxes are given by the Riemann solver and stabilization is ensured by the proper limiters inherited from the TVD theory or gradient based limiters. The stiff equations of chemical kinetics are solved by use of implicit DVODE (Double precision Variablecoefficient Ordinary Differential Equation solver, with fixed-leading-coefficient implementation) routine or by explicit Chemeq2 routine. Additional improvements are incorporated into the code such as parallelization in OpenMP and implementation of NVIDIA CUDA technology. REFLOPS USG has become a fundamental numerical tool in the research of RDE at the Institute of Aviation in Warsaw, in frame of Innovative Economy project UDA-POIG.01.03.01-14-071 ‘Turbine engine with detonation combustion chamber’ supported by EU and Ministry of Regional Development, Poland. The simulations presented in this paper are based on inviscid or viscous multicomponent semi-ideal gas flow with chemical reactions. Due to high computational costs only simple chemical reaction mechanisms are used here.

Elektrotermiczny napęd rakietowy ze względu na prostotę swego działania i konstrukcji jest atrakcyjnym rozwiązaniem dla inżynierów projektujących systemy kontroli położenia satelitów. Ciagłe poszukiwanie nowych rozwiązań oraz stosowanie nowych materiałów konstrukcyjnych znacząco podniosły sprawność obecnych silników rakietowych, w tym elektryczno-termicznych typu "Resistojet" . Nowym rozwiązaniem proponowanym w tego typu napędach jest wymiennik ciepła z oscylującym elementern grzewczym. Dzięki temu termiczna warstwa przyścienna Charakteryzująca się znacznie większą temperaturą niż temperatura przepływającego ośrodka, powstająca na płytce jako elemencie grzewczym, odrywa się, a następnie miesza z pozostałą częścią płynu ogrzewając ją. Wykazano, że istnieje granica częstotliwości oscylacji, która w sposób znaczący poprawia efektywność grzania czynnika roboczego. Badania wykonano w ramach projektu ESA PECS 98104 Gas Resistojet Thruster for Medium Size Satellite Attitude Control.

Electric rocket propulsion belong to the group of rocket engines which use thermal energy converted from electric. This energy conversion is crucial problem for this kind of rocket engines. The electric rocket engines are divided by methods of energy conversion and in this work is presented solution for resistance rocket engines called "resistojet". Resistojets are mostly used as a propulsion for attitude control system of satellite platforms because their simplicity, relative high specific impulse and long work-time duration ability. Recently development of new solutions and new materials have significantly increased the efficiency of energy conversion and decreased losses of thermal energy in resistojets. New solution proposed to the resistojets is heat exchanger with flat plate. The phenomena of thermal boundary layer created on surface of plate is additional intensify by high frequency oscillating. Because of dynamic move the boundary layer is broken and mixed in downstream flow. Mixed fluid increase own temperature and enthalpy that is converted to high velocity in the supersonic nozzle. In this work was shown that there is limitation of frequency oscillation of flat plate to enhance thermal process to heating fluid. This work was done as a part of project "ESA PECS 98104 Gas Resistojet Thruster for Medium Size Satellite Attitude Control".

The possibility of the use a high energetic solid material in a ram accelerator is discussed in this paper. First, some facts about multiphase combustion observed in ram accelerators are presented. While the core problem of using high explosive in supersonic propulsion is fast combustion, the first stage of work consisted of measuring ignition delays of selected high explosives. The ignition is triggered by a passing detonation wave. The experimental results proved that those materials can be applied to the ram accelerator and PETN has been selected as the best material. Next, a numerical model of ignition and combustion of a high explosive layer in a ram accelerator has been created and applied in numerical simulations. The obtained results allowed estimations of thrust enhancement and parametric analysis of the influence of some parameters on performances of the device. It was found that use of layers of high explosive can increase the generated thrust by about 10%. However this depends on such parameters as the speed of the projectile, initial pressure of the gaseous mixture, and the geometry of the projectile.

The paper presents results of experimental work on ignition of layers of high explosive initiated by detonation wave. The high explosive layers were placed on the bottom wall of a detonation tube in which the detonation wave propagated. Measured ignition delay was in the order of some scores of microseconds and combustion of the layer had deflagrative character. Analysis of experimental results showed that ignition mechanism had mainly thermal nature and relation between ignition delay and temperature behind detonation wave could be described by Arrhenius' law. Also influence of combustion of high explosive on pressure behind detonation wave was investigated.

The paper presents possibility of improvement a ram accelerator. First part of the paper shortly describes different propositions of modifications of the device. The attention is focused on problems connected with use of different kind of propellants: gaseous and solid. A ram accelerator with high explosive layer is chosen to further analysis. A mathematical model of such device is derived. Solution of the model is analytical (algebraic) for subdetonative mode. A numerical solution was obtained for superdetonative mode. Characteristics of the ram accelerator show that the thrust can be significantly increased by combustion of the layer, especially in subdetonative mode.
