This specification covers a titanium alloy in the form of welding wire (see 8.5).

In recent years, the burgeoning applications of hydrogen fuel cells have ignited a growing trend in their integration within the transportation sector, with a particular focus on their potential use in multi-rotor drones. The heightened mass-based energy density of fuel cells positions them as promising alternatives to current lithium battery-powered drones, especially as the demand for extended flight durations increases. This article undertakes a comprehensive exploration, comparing the performance of lithium batteries against air-cooled fuel cells, specifically within the context of multi-rotor drones with a 3.5kW power requirement. The study reveals that, for the specified power demand, air-cooled fuel cells outperform lithium batteries, establishing them as a more efficient solution.

Ultra-Downsizing (UD) was introduced as an even higher level of downsizing for Internal Combustion Engines ICEs, see [2] SAE 2015-01-1252. The introduction of Ultra Downsizing (UD) aims to enhance the power, efficiency, and sustainability of ICEs while maintaining the thermal and mechanical strain within acceptable limits. The following approaches are utilized: 1 True Atkinson Cycles are implemented utilizing an asymmetrical crank mechanism called Variable Compression and Stroke Ratios (VCSR). This mechanism allows for extended expansion stroke and continuous adjustment of the Volumetric Compression Ratio (VCR). 2 Unrestricted two or more stage high-pressure turbocharging and intensive intercooling: This setup enables more complete filling of the cylinder and reduces the compression work on the piston, resulting in higher specific power and efficiency. 3 The new Load Control (LC) approach is based to continuous VCR adjustment.

The recommended practice describes a design standard that defines the maximum recommended voltage drop of the starting motor main circuits, as well as control system circuits, for 12/24-V starter systems. The battery technologies used in developing this document include the flooded lead acid, gel cell, and AGM. Starting systems supported by NiCd, Lithium Ion, NiZn, etc., or Ultracaps are not included in this document. This document is not intended to be updated or modified to include starter motors rated at voltages above the nominal 24-V electrical system. The starter is basically an electrical-to-mechanical power converter. If you double the available battery power in, you double the peak mechanical power out and double the heat losses. This means that we have to pay special attention to how battery power changes when we change the battery voltage and the effects it may have in overpowering the cranking system.

In a satellite thruster the function of injector plays a major role in controlling the combustion. This paper presents the numerical simulation of two most used injectors namely, impinging doublet, and triplet using Ansys fluent. The injectors are designed for the non-toxic, green propellants used in satellite thrusters. The present study focuses on the design and simulation of the injectors with 2 variant of green propellants i.e., Kerosene/Hydrogen-peroxide and Ethanol Amine/Hydrogen-peroxide. The objective of the study is to investigate the performance of the two injectors in terms of atomization, combustion efficiency and thrust generation. Theoretical design calculations were performed for a 20 N bi-propellant satellite thruster. A comparative study on the condensed combustion products and injector was carried out using NASA CEA Run code and Ansys fluent, respectively. The ethanol amine/hydrogen-peroxide injector showed better performance in terms of combustion efficiency.

The development of ramjet engines has experienced a significant increase in response to the growing demand for supersonic speed capabilities in contemporary propulsion systems and missile weaponry. Their efficient operation at supersonic speeds has garnered increased attention. The study focuses on designing a diffuser and ram cone for decelerating supersonic flow in the combustion chamber. Performance tests for hydrogen and ethanol fuels are conducted at Mach values of 3.5, 3, and 2.5. Injectors are positioned asymmetrically in parallel, perpendicular, and at a 45-degree angle to the flow. Effects of injector orifice diameters (0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm) on atomization and penetration length distribution are investigated. SolidWorks is used for design, and Ansys with a coupled implicit second-order upwind solver analyzes the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation. Eddy dissipation handles combustion. Hydrogen and ethanol are modeled and injected, reacting with atmospheric oxygen.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides general guidelines on the material selection, construction, and qualification of components and wiring systems used to construct nominal 12 VDC and/or 24 VDC electrical wiring systems for heavy-duty vehicles The guidelines are limited to nominal 12 VDC and/or 24 VDC primary wiring systems and includes cable sizes American Wire Gage 20 to AWG 4 on heavy-duty on-highway trucks. The document identifies appropriate operating performances requirements. This document excludes the male-to-female connection of the SAE J560 connectors.

The commercial aviation currently accounts for roughly 2.5 % of the global CO2 emissions and around 3.5% of world warming emissions, taking into account non CO2 effects on the climate. Its has grown faster in recent decades than the other transport modes (road, rail or shipping), with an average rate of 2.3%/year from 1990 to 2019, prior to the pandemic. Moreover, its share of Greenhouse (GHG) emissions is supposed to grow, with the increasing demand scenario of air trips worldwide. This scenario might threaten the decarbonization targets assumed by the aviation industry, in line with the world efforts to minimize the climate effects caused by the carbon emissions. In this context, hydrogen is set as a promising alternative to the traditional jet fuel, due to its zero carbon emissions.

This document is an optional addition to SAE J3068 that adds additional communications (using LIN-CP) between the EV and SE that provide capabilities valuable to commercial fleets. These include the ability of the EV and SE to exchange unique identifiers, to establish which EV is connected to which SE, and to specify requirements for the next trip.
