Abstract

This artical is an analysis as well as a comparison of technical traits of the nuclear reactor, coolant, Intermediate Heat Exchanging System, Intermediate Fluid Medium and heat transfer devices. It proposed a possible formation of nuclear propulsion system, which also works as the basis of the nuclear reactor, the Intermedia Heat Transfer system and the engine. In this artical the author also respectively analysed the whole heat transfer process of the transfer system and engine, as well as estimated the propulsive force that is generated by the hybrid nuclear-engine. With the help of the capability model of the engine, the author proposed a method to anticipate the total contamination emissions based on the flying parameters and engine capability model. Through utilizing the ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) emission data fitting, the author gained the referential emission index of the engine in ground status and through utilizing the relative process, the author gained the emission index in air status. By comparing the estimated contamination emisson of the hybrid nuclear engine and the ordinary air engine, the author discovered that the hybrid nuclear engine produces less emission than the ordinary air engine by 75%.
