From RD-0410 to AMB-8: on the advantages of the Russian Federation in nuclear power plants of missiles and torpedoes

73

In the field of rocket engines, Russia is a clear global leader. Back in the Soviet Union, the development of a project for a nuclear power plant for missiles began, and now Russia continues Soviet development, offering weapons that have no analogues in the modern world.

Two years ago, on March 1, 2018, President Vladimir Putin officially introduced the latest types of weapons to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, among which he especially noted the strategic intercontinental missile, called the Petrel. Until now, not so much is known about it as we would like, but information about the nuclear engine mounted on the rocket, in particular, has become public.



Russian and foreign experts suggest that the nuclear power plant, which can be installed on the Petrel, most likely dates back to Soviet developments, including the experimental RD-0410 engine. After all, it was on the basis of this engine that nuclear power plants for spacecraft were subsequently created.

Interestingly, the pioneers in the development of nuclear aviation power plants at one time were made by the Americans. Research in this direction began in the United States in the mid-1940s, and already in 1946 the NEPA project (Nuclear Energy for the Propulsion of Aircraft - nuclear energy for an aircraft power plant) was launched.

However, the Soviet Union did not lag behind for long: in 1947, the development of nuclear engines for aircraft began, which turned out to be much more successful than those of American colleagues. As a result, Russia turned out to be the only owner of compact nuclear engine development technology in the world.

American physicist Professor Jeff Terry called the approximate useful (non-thermal) power of the engine of the Russian rocket - 766 kW. According to the scientist, these figures are fully consistent with the expectations of modern compact nuclear engines.

Sebastian Roblin, author of The National Interest, suggests that the Thunderbird rocket has a ramjet engine and speaks of the dangers of radioactive exhaust. Similar fears are expressed by representatives of the Russian liberal press, for example, Yulia Latynina (a well-known master of tales about the "arrow of the oscilloscope"), who christened the rocket "little flying Chernobyl." Roblin also concludes that it is still premature to talk about developing a rocket with an efficient and practical nuclear engine in Russia.


In addition to the Petrel, missiles will also be operated at nuclear power plants, with which the Russian submarine fleet will be equipped. For example, the project of the Poseidon underwater vehicle, which is essentially a giant nuclear torpedo, also involves working in a nuclear reactor.

We are talking about the AMB-8 engine - a reactor with a liquid metal coolant, the main advantage of which is the ability to install silent magnetohydrodynamic cooling pumps of the primary circuit. According to the expert community, the reactor is capable of providing Poseidon speeds of up to 185 km / h and a range of up to 10 thousand kilometers!

President Vladimir Putin, by the way, personally announced the most important parameters of the Poseidon nuclear power plant. He indicated the ability to develop speeds of up to 190-200 km / h, which was made possible thanks to the use of such a reactor design that has never been used before.

An important feature of the power plant, in addition to compactness, is the presence of two modes - low-power and powerful, and can switch from Poseidon mode to 200 times faster than reactors of the most modern nuclear submarines. In practice, the ability to quickly switch from a low-power to a powerful mode is very important in order to "sneak up" to the enemy or, conversely, to avoid pursuing enemy submarines and torpedoes fired from them.

Thus, while Russia is a clear leader in the development of nuclear power plants for missiles and torpedoes. It is this circumstance that makes our potential opponents so worried. It is no coincidence that the American military expert Thomas Callender believes that in the near future Poseidon-type vehicles will become a very significant threat to US national security, as the Americans have yet to develop means to deal with such ultra-efficient nuclear torpedoes.

        Why repeat liberating delirium. It is clearly written that the primary coolant is liquid metal. This is a significant difference from direct-flow American air-cooled reactors. Back in the 60s, a similar reactor with a metal coolant (an alloy of lead and bismuth) was considered as one of the options for equipping K-222, which is with a titanium body. Now the technology has gone far ahead and unmanned underwater and airborne vehicles are just that intermediate option, after which the guaranteed safety of these technologies will allow them to be used on manned aerospace vehicles.

      Direct flow, by the way, was just developed by the Americans, and even blew the engine. And then they figured out what kind of crap it was there at the exit (the child prodigy was called SLAM), and they closed the project out of harm's way. Google, Satan wouldn’t come up with this; on supersonic at a low altitude a sort of flying crowbar flies, leaving behind an extremely radioactive trail (that is, who does not die out in the flight zone — dies from radiation), and periodically shoots megaton bombs in large cities. And when they end - well, maybe another week to fly, or maybe make a candle over a large city, and will kill itself with a dirty bomb.

      In the USSR, the maximum was still worked out on a controlled aircraft with a nuclear engine and in the format of a weapon of retaliation.

      You can guess for a long time what and how the "Petrel" has, but I do not think that there is a banal nuclear straight-through engine open to everything.

        Dear, I try not to re-sing but to think. In general, it was previously stated that "Burevesnik" is subsonic. I do not believe in this. Justify.
        1. I generally do not believe in the need for an overly expensive and complex project with unlimited range. There are quite well-spent nuclear submarines with cruise missiles deployed in relative proximity to the enemy's coast, with a correspondingly short flight time compared to the Burevestnik firing from Russian territory.
        2. Assume all the same, he is subsonic and he does not need forward flow. What purpose will we assign to him at a distance of, say, 30 thousand km, taking into account the circumvention of air defense areas and some other reasons. How long will he fly to her? subsonic is roughly 300 m / s. A moving target can already move significantly, and re-targeting in war conditions, especially nuclear, when satellites fall like autumn leaves, electronic warfare is working or the whole atmosphere is agitated by electromagnetic storms from nuclear explosions. A stationary target like missile bases? So if she shot back and reloaded, it was necessary to somehow have time to reach her second salvo, otherwise the meaning would be completely lost such an attack.
        So we need to accelerate. The tactics of using subsonic missiles on conventional solid propellants can be very flexible, ballistic missiles are very fast and accurate. Where is the niche for the Petrel?
        Regarding airborne contamination. It is clear that air is a working fluid. Otherwise there will be no unlimited range. It is clear that it must be pumped in hundreds of kilograms per millisecond through the active zone. And in these milliseconds to warm up, say, to 1000 degrees. Estimate the power of the reactor. And what it radiates around itself.
        Unless this pepelats is an electric propeller reactor. Then definitely not straightforward.))

      In a direct-flow nuclear engine of Burevesnik, the time of contact of air with the radioactive channel will be milliseconds. Induced air radioactivity will be scanty. Read. https://studme.org/241417/tehnika/navedennaya_radioaktivnost_vozduha

        2. not scanty, maybe there:
        -100-500 thousands Sv / h (10000-50000 thousands X-ray / hour). This is a fantastic value. milliseconds will be enough.
        - the passing air will cause erosion (either of the active zone or of the cooling jacket) and carry away the good with itself
        - air density and pressure will differ by a couple of orders of magnitude from normal blood pressure
        Air enters the engine inlet at a flight speed its kinetic energy is converted into internal, pressure and air temperature increase. At the entrance to the combustion chamber and along the entire length of the flow part, the maximum pressure is observed.

          The information available in the public domain indicates that the Petrel is a subsonic missile and the presence of a "forward flow" is unlikely, but in some other judgments you are wrong.
          -Working background value is critical only for rocket equipment.
          -Even if the engine is SPVRD, then the flow rate in the CS zone is subsonic and there will be no significant erosion.
          - The pressure in the zone of the compressor station will not differ in a big way from similar chemicals. engines and will be max. several dozen atmospheres.

          The most "terrible" thing that can be emitted by a nuclear-powered jet engine or a nuclear-powered jet engine during normal operation is short-lived nitrogen isotopes hi

      Is it worse than the Indians? Although it is possible.
      There is already a greater question of the appropriateness of liquid hydrogen as a fuel (impractical, most importantly, at the same time, in terms of calorific value per m3 of fuel, kerosene will be several times better, which makes it possible to reduce the size of the fuel tank, cheaper and much more)
      For solid propellant rocket engines, the doubts are very significant or information is outdated for 20 years.
      The Americans have not developed any solid propellant rocket engines for the last 20 years at least (alterations of peacekeepers into space rockets, this is not the development of a new solid propellant rocket) in Russia they have been developing and are developing for ballistic missiles, at least.

      And according to the number of working hours of engines, if desired, you can choose such comparison criteria that the steam engine will be better than any engine invented by mankind.

      Could you really write something sensible if the subsonic mover, where to get the necessary air flow (turbojet engine with heating the working fluid from a nuclear reactor is too cool)? For the supersonic version - how to launch and output to the required height?

              Firstly, I was not the first to become personal.
              Secondly, I am happy for you if you understand the specific impulse parameter.
              Only a rocket and a rocket engine have other parameters (from dry weight, to the cost of withdrawal and payload).

              Even in your link it is written about the difficulty of choosing a fuel and the big minuses of a pair of liquid hydrogen - liquid oxygen, and the very significant advantages of kerosene.
              According to your comments, it turns out that a pair of liquid hydrogen - liquid oxygen has no alternative, and the complex design process is reduced to 2,3 parameters.
              Quotes from the same links (
              https://topwar.ru/109898-pravka-saga-o-raketnyh-toplivah.html
              ):
              Compromises clearly manifest themselves in Ip .: TC of high density (kerosene + LOX), as a rule, are used at the lower stages of the launch vehicle, although they lose to the same LH2 and LOX, which in turn are used at the upper stages of the launch vehicle ("Energy" 11K25 ).

              And again, the excellent pair LH2 + LOX cannot be used for deep space or for long-term stay in orbit (Voyager-2, Breeze-M upper stage, ISS, etc.)

              And this is only for application issues, excluding the economic part.

              1. maximum thrust per unit of media. The solid propellant rocket motor is essentially limited only by geometries and transport dimensions.
              Tear off the mass planned for flight from the SC.
              2. Reusability ... not even compare with Russian Railways.

              This is not an answer why such engines are needed, it is an enumeration of their advantages, to which you can add ease of storage.
              The answer would be something in the spirit: for use in missiles that are on duty for a long time and providing for the possibility of immediate use, including in a discharged or airless space.
              On a number of missiles, including anti-aircraft, they are used as the main, direct-flow engines, due to the gain in the same specific impulse parameter


              Why is there no comparison of the same Mace and Trident 2? Keep links to a dedicated site:
              https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Булава_(ракета)

              According to these data, everything turns out very well for the Russian "inept designers".

              .Young man you kremlebot what. Nonsense, you don’t break it. She squeals

              And why should the Kremlin protect in Internet correspondence, and even for free?
              Honestly, I didn’t like the too biased look at Russian engines, and even one-sided, in addition.

              After the devastation of the 90s, it is surprising that engines are now generally being produced that are not much inferior, but in some ways superior to world standards.
              Although, judging by the policy of the Kremlin, soon this will not happen.
              But even this is not a reason to belittle the achievements of Soviet / Russian designers, especially taking into account working conditions (as an example, in China, the salary of an assembly technologist is 1,5-2 times higher than in Russia for a designer of the defense industry, you can keep silent about financing projects, so it is the lowest among all major countries).

              it is impossible to make a "death ray" in the future.

              At the current level of technology, "Status-6" is a very real project, with worse than the specified characteristics, but quite capable of overcoming the American PLO network.
              As an example: K-222 (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/К-222), which set an underwater speed record of 44 knots.
              Given the lack of crew and the development of technology, a speed of 60-70 knots, which allows Mark 48 to break away from the main US torpedo, becomes quite real.

              Ps Consider me wrong, if you will. I will no longer respond to semi-provocations and veiled insults.

              Minuteman’s ranges were declared good, but they didn’t bullet tests beyond 8500 km, and failures occur during control shootings (reliability checks).
              8500km and claimed unverified 13000km. it’s still not liquid, it’s necessary to check to the fullest - all of a sudden that the fuel is dry or cracked, or what parameters it doesn’t withstand ..
              .
              besides, the poster does not understand the year of issue; the modernized poplars and minuteries are much more accurate, which reduces the benefits to minimal ones.
              .
              again, they are not indicated on the poster of the year of issue - poplar can also be converted with multiple warheads (3-7) or maneuvering warheads.
              .
              again, the poster does not indicate a set of missile defense systems - what and how much one and the other missile pulls, what are the possibilities.

      Unlike the "mythical" "achievements" that no one has seen and never will see, here are the real achievements:
      On May 5, 2020, China successfully launched a test version of a new type of Chinese spacecraft using the Long March-5B launch vehicle (Long March 5B, Changzheng-5B) from the Wenchang Cosmodrome (Hainan Province, South China). This is stated in the message of the PRC Manned Space Flight Program.
      "According to the Office of the China Manned Space Flight Program, on May 5, 2020 at 18:00 (13:00 Moscow time), the Changzheng-5B carrier rocket was launched from the Wenchang cosmodrome in China with a test version of a new type of manned spacecraft and a prototype a cargo return capsule, "the message says. "After about 488 seconds, the unmanned] prototype of a manned spacecraft, along with a test version of the recoverable capsule, successfully detached from the rocket, entered the intended orbit. The mission was recognized as successful," the statement said.
      It also notes that "the successful launch of the rocket has laid a solid foundation for the creation of a Chinese orbiting space station," which is scheduled for completion in 2022. It is expected that "Changzheng-5B" will be used to launch the base module of the station into low-earth orbit.
