Re: The End of the Carrier Age?
look cooling system is bigger than a active fan system period. it require pump, a reservior and pipes. and as i said before depend on HOW MUCH electronic are in the MIRV warhead, it needs sufficent space to store the coolant and pumps and pipes.
cooling system such as pump and pipes does not need air to work. so why it isn't a valid comparision.
tell me how you gonna move the liquid to abosrb heat generate by the chips?? you need a pump to pump the liquid, the liquid has to make contact with the chips heatsink in order to absorb the heat. all it need is electricity, pipes, reservior, and a powerful pump. this is true for any liquid cooling system.
the point is a liquid cooling system inside the size of a MIRV warhead with alots electronic, radar, gps etc travel at 8km/s. is not ideal. let me know how you gonna fit a radar anteena, GPS, communication system, digital receiver, sensors, warhead, and other system along with a pump, a gallon of coolant, pipes running through the warhead to cool the chip in a 5x3 cone with outside temp at thousands degree, speed 8km/s, and still able to cool all the necessary components that need to be cooled.
There is no need to keep the electronics cool for the entire flight of the warhead. The warhead lies dormant while being launched and the coolants are only needed while the warhead is activated, just like a satellite. It is entirely possible to cool all the electronics during the terminal phase of flight through chemical reactions like that provided by instant cold packs. Should cooling be needed for the entire flight, a similar cooling method can be employed on the launcher with heat pipes connecting to the warhead(s) that can be severed during delivery.
So is a warhead. Half of the flight of a ballistic missile is controlled by the computer on the launcher itself.
Staying in the same orbit most of the time is not equivalent to never.
Satellites do experience vibration and acceleration. Once again, I point to launching and orbital maneuvers. A lot of vibration is experienced during launching, and a satellite being off during launch time does not magically buffer the propellant tanks and other liquid containers against vibration. These tanks have to be designed with the stresses encountered at launch and orbital maneuver in mind.
Kinetic Kill Vehicles for Anti Ballistic Missile defense carry propellent and oxidizer, and you can see their containers in the pictures of . KKVs are designed to be able to maneuver rapidly to intercept the incoming target, and the examples shown have no issue carrying liquid on board. In fact, a liquid cooling system is much more simple because
- there is no plumbing,
- coolant is not consumed so does not slosh around the tanks.
The warhead doesn't experience over a thousand degrees during re-entry. It is the heat shield which encounters such extreme temperature, and it is the job of the heat shield to provide insulation and protection of the actual spacecraft/warhead against such high temperature.
You are repeating yourself, so I will repeat what I have pointed out once again: satellites carry liquid on board. These satellites do not leak while being launched or completing orbital maneuvers. What happens on satellites carry over to warheads.
Nonsense. You pointed out that satellite lies dormant during launch phase and yet you expect a warhead not to? You are contradicting yourself here. There is no need to provide cooling to the warhead for the entire flight. Only a sufficient amount is needed to provide cooling while the warhead is active, assuming that the warhead needs cooling in the first place.
Invalid comparison. Space is a vacuum and the cooling system for PC does not work in a vacuum environment.
Instant cold packs can be pretty cold. You don't need a huge tank of that stuff if that is what you are envisioning.
