Scientists invented 3D printing catalyst is expected to solve the heat dissipation problem of supersonic aircraft
Supersonic aircraft can fly at several times the speed of sound, and it will only take a few hours from the United States to Australia in the future. But to achieve supersonic speed, many problems need to be overcome, one of which is heat dissipation. Currently, one way scientists hope to prevent them from overheating is to use the propellant as a coolant at the same time, so that the aircraft can maintain a safe operating temperature when flying in the sky.
The newly developed 3D printing catalysts may be a new breakthrough, and laboratory tests have shown how they can trigger the necessary chemical reactions to achieve efficient heat absorption.
Lead researcher Dr. Selvakannan Periasamy said: “Our laboratory tests have shown that the 3D printing catalysts we have developed have great hopes for the promotion of future supersonic flight. They are powerful and efficient. They provide an exciting opportunity for thermal management in the aviation industry. Exciting potential solutions-even more. With further development, we hope that this new generation of ultra-efficient 3D printing catalysts can be used to change any overheated industrial problems.” (Source: cnBeta)
