Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
THE METHOD OF COOLING AND OPERATING A FLIGHT VEHICLE WHICH IS POWERED BY A REACTION TYPE POWER PLANT WHICH COMPRISES PASSING HYDROCARBON MATERIAL BOILING AT FROM 150*F. TO 800*F., BEING SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF ALIPHATIC UNSATURATION AND NON-HYDROCARBON MATTER AND HAVING AN AROMATIC HYDROCARBON CONTENT OF FROM 0.0% TO 10.0% BY WEIGHT, THROUGH A CONFINED ZONE AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 800*F. TO 1500*F. AND A PRESSURE FROM 200 TO 1000 P.S.G. TO OBTAIN ENDOTHERMIC PYROLYSIS OF THE HYDROCARBON MATERIAL AND COOLING OF THE VEHICLE, FEEDING THE RESULTING PYROLYSATE AS FUEL DIRECTLY INTO THE POWER PLANT OF SAID FLIGHT VEHICLE, AND OXIDIZING THE PYROLSATE IN THE POWER PLANT.
