The results of the study showed that the presence of grooves had modified the flow characteristics only to detrimentally\u0000impact the thrust performance. However, the grooves improved power performance due to torque reduction. The analysis of the results showed that, for most models, there is lower torque relative to the baseline in the low-to-medium advance ratio operating range. The improvement in torque however, did not improve efficiency in the models.","PeriodicalId":37556,"journal":{"name":"INCAS Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45510511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such cases it is necessary to carry out fail-safe analysis to evaluate if the structure can be used safely in loading conditions. Thus, fail-safe analysis is a vital and important task\u0000to properly validate the mechanical structure. The implementation of the fail-safe analysis using the finite element method is usually done by eliminating the given component from the finite element model and carrying out the given analysis. But when due to finite element modeling issues such an approach cannot be carried out without causing singularities in the model, another approach should be used to perform the fail-safe analysis. One such method, presented in this paper, is the zero stiffness method, which applies near-zero stiffness to the structural component that is removed from the finite element model. The zero stiffness method is used by applying close to zero values to the material and element properties, and thus reducing the load that is in the given structural component.","PeriodicalId":37556,"journal":{"name":"INCAS Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43071820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mass composition of the visible universe is approximately 74% hydrogen, 24% helium, 1% oxygen, and the rest of all other chemical elements is about 1%. Hydrogen has the symbol H and the atomic number 1. It is placed in the first position in Mendeleev's periodic table of elements, in the upper left corner. It is an easily flammable, colorless, tasteless, odorless gas, and in nature, it is found mainly in the form of the diatomic molecule, H 2. With an atomic mass unit of 1.00794, hydrogen is the lightest chemical element.\u0000Etymologically, the word hydrogen is a combination of two Greek words hydor and gennan meaning: water producer. Hydrogen (H 2) has a very good calorific value per mass unit 143 MJ/kg which is 3.33 times more than the calorific value of kerosene or diesel fuel. Green hydrogen (clean hydrogen or renewable hydrogen) is produced by electrolysis of water (splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen) using electricity from renewable sources such as solar energy, wind energy, seawater waves energy, or tidal power. Green hydrogen is an environmentally-friendly power source (no harmful gases). This paper presents recent documentary research by the authors on green hydrogen as an environmentally-friendly power source: for space rocket launches and for hydrogen fuel cells used in the space shuttle as electrical power generators and drinking water generators from launch to return from the space mission; as fuel for a modified turboprop engine (Rolls-Royce and easyJet); as fuel for the European Destinus aircraft using the Jungfrau technology system for a planned hypersonic aircraft using a\u0000modified commercial afterburning engine; as fuel for modified gas turbine engines and hydrogen fuel cells to supply electrical power to supplement the gas turbine for the Airbus ZEROe aircraft, etc.","PeriodicalId":37556,"journal":{"name":"INCAS Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43993321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Orbitron is a simple 2D solver in which TLE files are uploaded, for AAUSAT CUBESAT. The various impacts on the satellite in space are slight deviation in the satellite from its orbit. The motion of the body with includes the disturbing forces in the orbit. However, a satellite has deviated from its normal path due to several forces. This deviation is termed as orbital perturbation. The changes in the orbital element with respect to secular variations are considered using orbital quaternions. The output from satellite dynamic model is received from attitude sensor. The comparative data (Input and\u0000Feedback) will generate error signal.

The Significant Meteorological Information Reports - SIGMET will be generated by the system according to the selected turbulence areas by attaching different AIS data to an exercise that can change the simulation objectives.

A video recording can be made at any time during a simulation session; a data recording can be selected only at the\u0000beginning of the simulation session and cannot be started during the simulation session; if the simulator is integrated with the Voice Communication System and the audio channels, then a sound recording\u0000window will automatically pop-up.

For this reason, the research institution is working to develop linear and non-linear controllers to make these UAVs more stable and effective while performing various tasks assigned to them. In this paper, a longitudinal autopilot was designed for a solar UAV (sky sailor) using two controllers, the first is SLC (Successive Loop Closure) which is a classic controller that is based on successive loops with a PID controller, and the second method is the TECS (Total Energy Control System) controller that depends on the total specific energy rate and the energy distribution rate to control the airspeed and altitude of the UAV. After detailing the working principle and tuning of each controller they were applied to the non-linear model of UAV using MATLAB Simulink. Through the results obtained from the simulations, we conclude that the TECS controller is better than the SLC controller in terms of stability and energy economy, being an ideal choice for solar UAVs to increase their endurance, and for civil aircraft to reduce the cost of flights.","PeriodicalId":37556,"journal":{"name":"INCAS Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47238368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
