One of the ways to achieve safety and comfort is to improve on-board air conditioning systems.The use of air cooling machine determines the air pressure high level at the point of selection from the aircraft engine compressor. Because of the aircraft operation in different modes and especially in the modes of small gas engines, deliberately high stages of selection have to be used for ensuring proper operation of the refrigeration machine in the modes of the aircraft small gas engines. Into force of this, most modes of aircraft operation have to throttle the pressure of the selected stage of selection, which, together with the low efficiency of the air cycle cooling system, makes the currently used air conditioning systems energy inefficient.A key feature of the architecture without air extraction from the main engines compressors is the use of electric drive compressors as a source of compressed air.A comparative analysis of competing variants of on-board air conditioning system without air extraction from engines for longrange aircraft projects was performed at the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University).The article deals with the main approaches to the decision-making process on the appearance of a promising aircraft on-board air conditioning system at the stage of its conceptual design and formulated the basic requirements for the structure of a complex criterion at different life cycle stages.The level of technical and technological risk, together with a larger installation weight, will require significant costs for development, testing, debugging and subsequent implementation, but at the same time on-board air conditioning system scheme without air extraction from the engines will achieve a significant increase in fuel efficiency at the level of the entire aircraft.

Remote heat pipe based heat exchanger cooling systems are becoming increasingly popular in cooling of notebook computers. In such cooling systems, one or more heat pipes transfer the heat from the more populated area to a location with sufficient space allowing the use of a heat exchanger for removal of the heat from the system. In analsysis of such systems, the temperature drop in the condenser section of the heat pipe is assumed negligible due to the nature of the condensation process. However, in testing of various systems, non linear longitudinal temperature drops in the heat pipe in the range of 2 to 15 °C, for different processor power and heat exchanger airflow, have been measured. Such temperature drops could cause higher condenser thermal resistance and result in lower overall heat exchanger performance. In fact the application of the conventional method of estimating the thermal performance, which does not consider such a nonlinear temperature variations, results in inaccurate design of the cooling system and requires unnecessarily higher safety factors to compensate for this inaccuracy. To address the problem, this paper offers a new analytical approach for modeling the heat pipe based heat exchanger performance under various operating conditions. The method can be used with any arbitrary condenser temperature variations. The results of the model show significant increase in heat exchanger thermal resistance when considering a non linear condenser temperature drop. The experimental data also verifies the result of the model with sufficient accuracy and therefore validates the application of this model in estimating the performance of these systems.   This paper was also originally published as part of the Proceedings of the ASME 2005 Pacific Rim Technical Conference and Exhibition on Integration and Packaging of MEMS, NEMS, and Electronic Systems.

ABSTRAK OPTIMASI DESAIN TERMOHIDROLIKA TERAS DAN SISTEM PENDINGIN REAKTOR RISET INOVATIF DAYA TINGGI. Implementasi reaktor inovasi telah diterapkan pada berbagai reaktor riset baru yang saat ini sedang dibangun.  Pada saat ini BATAN sedang merancang desain konseptual reaktor riset daya tinggi yang telah masuk pada tahap optimasi desain. Spesifikasi desain konseptual reaktor riset inovatif adalah reaktor tipe kolam berpendingin air dan reflektor D2O. Teras reaktor memiliki kisi 5x5 dengan 16 bahan bakar dan 4 batang kendali. Teras reaktor berada di dalam tabung berisi D2O yang berfungsi sebagai posisi iradiasi. Daya reaktor 50 MW didesain untuk membangkitkan fluks neutron termal sebesar 5x1014 n/cm2s. Teras reaktor berbentuk kompak dan menggunakan bahan bakar U9Mo-Al dengan tingkat muat uranium 7-9 gU/cm3. Desain termohidrolika yang mencakup pemodelan, perhitungan dan analisis kecukupan pendingin dibuat sinergi dengan desain fisika teras agar keselamatan reaktor terjamin. Makalah ini bertujuan menyampaikan hasil analisis perhitungan termohidrolika teras dan sistem reaktor riset inovatif pada kondisi tunak. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan program perhitungan yang telah tervalidasi, masing-masing adalah Caudvap, PARET-ANL, Fluent dan ChemCad 6.4.1. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa pembangkitan panas yang tinggi dapat dipindahkan tanpa menyebabkan pendidihan dengan menerapkan desain teras reaktor bertekanan, di samping itu desain awal komponen utama sistem pembuangan panas yang terintegrasi telah dilakukan, sehingga konseptual desain termohidrolika RRI-50 dapat diselesaikan. Kata kunci : reaktor riset inovatif, Caudvap, PARET-ANL, Fluent, ChemCad 6.4.1.  ABSTRACT THERMALHYDRAULIC DESIGN AND COOLING SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION OF THE HIGH POWER INOVATIVE RESEARCH REACTOR. Reactor innovation has been implemented in a variety of new research reactors that currently are being built. At this time BATAN is designing a conceptual design of the high power research reactor which has entered the stage of design optimization. The conceptual design specifications of the innovative research reactor is a pool type reactor, water-cooled and reflected by D2O. The reactor core has a 5 x 5 grid with 16 fuels and 4 control rods, which is inserted into a tube containing D2O as an irradiation position. Reactor power of 50 MW is designed to generate thermal neutron flux of 5x1014 n/cm2s. The compact core reactor is using U9Mo-Al fuel with uranium loading of 7-9 gU/cm3. Thermal hydraulic design includes modeling, calculation and analysis of the adequacy of coolant created synergy with the physical design of reactor safety. This paper aims to deliver the results of thermal hydraulic calculation and system design analysis at steady state condition. The analysis was done using various calculation programs that have been validated, i.e. Caudvap, PARET-ANL, Fluent and ChemCad 6.4.1. The calculation results show that the heat generation can be transfered without causing a two phase flow boiling by applying pressurized reactor core design, while the main components of initial design system with an integrated heat dissipation has been done, to complete the conceptual design of the RRI-50 thermalhydraulics. Keywords : inovative research reactor, Caudvap, PARET-ANL, Fluent, ChemCad 6.4.1.
