Research abstract
Candent Technologies is proposing to design and develop a light weight and robust advanced aircraft engine inlet heat exchanger system capable of dissipating large amounts of waste heat produced by various aircraft systems, such as electronic and weapon systems. The design will minimize pressure losses and flow distortion, will also maximize heat exchanger effectiveness, as well as improve other aircraft engine inlet characteristics, particularly in serpentine duct inlets. The design process will utilize state of the art CFD, FEA, and multi-objective optimization tools to define the optimum system within the stated requirements.
