Research abstract

Bryka Inc. proposes innovation in aerospace sensor technology with the development of CeramiFlux, a ceramic-based thick film heat flux sensor utilizing β-Ga2O3 (beta-phase Gallium Oxide). Designed for the extreme conditions of Rotating Detonation Rocket Engines (RDREs), CeramiFlux addresses the critical need for accurate and reliable thermal measurements in propulsion systems. β-Ga2O3's wide bandgap property enables the sensor to maintain semiconducting functionality at high temperatures, offering unparalleled durability and precision. The integration of advanced ceramic technology enhances the sensor's resistance to thermal shocks and extreme temperatures, ensuring consistent performance in harsh aerospace environments. CeramiFlux's innovative design not only promises to advance the efficiency and reliability of space propulsion technologies but also holds significant potential for applications in defense missile systems. With its robust construction and exceptional operational range, CeramiFlux is poised to set new standards in thermal management solutions, driving advancements in both space exploration and defense industries.
