Computing Flows Of Slush Hydrogen In Pipes

Abstract

Slush hydrogen, mixture of solid and liquid phases of hydrogen, is candidate form of fuel for National Aerospace Plane (NASP). Engineers involved with NASP Project developed FLUSH computer program to calculate pressure drop and loss of solid fraction of slush hydrogen in steady-state, one-dimensional flow. FLUSH written in FORTRAN IV for DEC VAX-series computers running VMS.
