Structural design of ceramic rotary heat exchangers
Abstract
The effects of thermal stresses, mounting and drive loads, operating temperatures, and the environment on the mechanical design of rotary ceramic heat exchangers are reviewed. Analytical and experimental data are presented which define the mechanical and thermal restraints that are dictated by current ceramic materials and fabrication processes. The test results of almost 300,000 core-hours of engine exposure in the Ford 707 turbine are used to support the design criteria.
