| Description/Abstract | S>The Joule cycle combines the advantages of the Stirling cycle and the Rankine cycle for space power systems. For long term missions a Joule engine will convert solar or nuclear energy to shaft power with a lighter system weight than the Rankine cycle and without the power limitation of the Stirling cycle. For short term missions the Joule cycle, using hydrogen ice as a heat sink, yields a more efficient system than the hydrogen expansion engine. (auth) |
