Chapter 1355 Enuclear Battery

Chapter 1355 Real Nuclear Battery

After some drawing cakes, Chang Haonan finally made Han Chenfeng forget about the superb breathing style and instead focused on the application level temporarily.

However, whether it is electromagnetic catapult or electromagnetic cannon, it is just a temporary solution for Chang Haonan to divert the other party's attention.

What he really remembered was an idea that had formed a long time ago but had never found an opportunity to implement it.

In fact, not only has it been implemented, but it has not even been determined whether the theoretical level is feasible.

After returning to the office, Chang Haonan first dealt with some daily affairs that he had to approve. It was not until 9 o'clock that he picked up the red phone on the table and dialed a number.

"Dou—Dou—"

The long ringback sounded.

Until Chang Haonan thought no one would answer the call, a sound finally sounded from the microphone.

"This is the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Haojing Jiaotong University. Who are you?"

He was stunned for a moment, and the greetings he had originally planned were forced to go back.

Compared to the person I want to contact, this voice is obviously a little younger.

So, I had to report my identity to the other party:

"I am Chang Haonan from Aviation Power Group. If you want to contact Academician Qu Liangsheng to communicate about some project needs, you can directly report my name, he should know."

After Chang Haonan just won the title of academician four years ago, the two had cooperated in the field of ultra-high-speed centrifuges and maintained a frequency of contacting each other every three months to six months, and they were familiar with each other.

However, there was a silence on the other end of the phone.

Chang Haonan thought there was a problem with the call quality:

"Hello?"

With a test, I finally got a response:

"Sorry Academician Chang, the teacher is currently seriously ill and is being treated. I am his student An Shouzhi. If your needs do not involve confidentiality issues, maybe I can try to help..."

Chang Haonan noticed that the other party was talking about "trying to help" rather than "transmitting on behalf of others".

In other words, Qu Liangsheng's situation is probably not very optimistic.

Of course, considering that the other party was 72 years old and had a long-term illness when he was awarded an academician, it was not very unexpected.

It just made him feel a little lost.

In fact, not only Qu Liangsheng, but also people who are more familiar with Chang Haonan, including Du Yishan and Ding Gaoheng, have been getting worse in recent years.

It can only be said that the older generation is indeed gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.

After a moment of trance, Chang Haonan calmed down his emotions and prioritized the call in front of him:

"There is nothing to be kept secret... I thought of a new technological path for nuclear power generation, but there are still some specific situations that need to be confirmed by an expert in the field of reactor design. I wonder if comrades can recommend one?"

Although Qu Liangsheng is an academician from the field of nuclear energy, he is mainly responsible for the research and development of centrifugal equipment and is essentially a mechanical major.

The reason why Chang Haonan found him was just that he wanted a more suitable entry point.

And An Shouzhi on the other side was obviously shocked by this sentence.

"New technological path for nuclear power generation", how can you think of it casually?

If someone else said this, he would probably hang up the phone directly as a devilish and foolish person.

But the name Chang Haonan is still somewhat convincing...

After a little bit of trouble, An Shouzhi still chose to trust the other party.

Dozens of names flashed through his mind:

"In terms of reactor design, perhaps Academician Peng Juexian will meet your requirements."

After saying that, he thought that Chang Haonan should be unfamiliar with this name, and introduced:

"Academician Peng is a nuclear weapon research and development. After the mid-1990s, he focused on the development and utilization of nuclear energy. He should be familiar with and interested in the concepts you proposed..."

The latter couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

The other party should have a meaning in his opinion. When he heard his name, he subconsciously thought he wanted to use it for military purposes.

It is a stereotype that has been formed over the years.

Fortunately, he just searched online and found that the topic direction of Academician Peng Juexian's recent research can really be related to his ideas.

It's also a mistake...

...

Chang Haonan's original plan was to find a day that was not too busy in the past two days and go to the hospital to visit Qu Liangsheng.

As a result, the letter he sent to the Institute of Engineering Physics that morning received a response in the evening of that day.

The next morning, Peng Juexian himself came directly to Huairou Science City.

Chang Haonan was amazed by the speed of reaction.

Now that things have come to this, I have to talk about the main things first.

"Academician Peng, I have conceived a new idea of ​​nuclear power generation. It can directly convert electricity to nuclear batteries without using water or liquid metal as power generators, and even steam turbines... It is temporarily named nuclear batteries."

Chang Haonan introduced topics straight to the point.

When Peng Juexian heard "no steam turbine needed", he was so excited that he almost stood up directly when he saw that attitude.

Since the Industrial Revolution, human technology level has made rapid progress in just 200 years, but energy utilization has not deviated from the framework of boiling water.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

It is nothing more than coal-fired boilers and nuclear reactors that directly boil water, while internal combustion engines and gas turbines heat working gas.

Whether it is Langken cycle, Breton cycle, Sterling cycle... it is still an expansion work-based system.

On Earth, there is plenty of oxygen and water, so of course it doesn't matter.

When you get outside the earth, you will definitely not be able to continue to complete energy conversion in this way.

If we can break through the shackles of this principle level, it will undoubtedly illuminate a new dawn for mankind to enter the next era.

However, after the whole sentence was said, some regret appeared on Peng Juexian's face-

In his professional field, due to a certain period of hype, "nuclear batteries" generally refer to isotope batteries.

Not considered a new epoch-making technology.

Despite this, Peng Xianjue patiently confirmed:

"Academician Chang, the concept of radioactive isotope batteries is quite mature, mainly including two major categories and nearly ten subcategories. I wonder if you specifically refer to temperature differential thermoelectric type, thermal photovoltaic effect type, radiation volt effect type, thermal ion emission Mode……"

Chang Haonan was still wondering why the other party had such a strange expression after hearing this.

Now I finally know that it was a problem of defining grooves.

So he quickly interrupted the other party's registration name:

“I’m not talking about isotope batteries… it’s a real direct thermoelectric conversion process.”

As he said that, he took out the concept map that had been prepared from the side.

"The helium/xenon mixed gas is used as the working fluid, and the nuclear reaction is used to ionize and form a conductive fluid while acting as a coolant. After boosting and acceleration, it passes through a perpendicular magnetic field, thereby directly generating an induced electromotive force."

"The working fluid gas still carries a large amount of heat energy after passing through the power generation channel. Some of these heat energy is discharged into the space through the radiator, and the other part is sent back to the heat exchanger with the working fluid through a multi-stage compressor. After completing the secondary exchange, it is sent back to the nuclear reactor. , realize the complete recycling of power generator fluids..."

“…”

In fact, this solution is similar to the previous idea of ​​using coal or gas boilers to generate plasma power generation abroad. It only replaces the ferracious fossil energy with the most original atomic energy in the universe, greatly improving the ionization level of working fluid.

Of course, the indicator requirements for the entire system have also been greatly improved.

Not to mention, just changing the first circuit coolant from water to gas is enough to increase the temperature of the reactor inner wall to about 2000K.

Few materials can maintain stability under such extreme conditions and protect the reactor core from functioning properly.

But on the other hand, since it does not involve complex and inefficient multiple heat exchange and mechanical energy conversion processes, the real nuclear battery using this design must be far ahead in terms of energy density, and the entire system can be integrated into a very small space Inside, it is very suitable for use in some special environments, such as outer space or alien planets.

Peng Juexian never expected that Chang Haonan was not speculating on concepts this time, but was going to be the real one.

Looking at the bold and crazy plan in front of me, I didn't know what to react for a moment...
