Could heat from the hydrogen-peroxide reaction in a Walter turbine power a Stirling engine and make submarine propulsion more reliable?
Short answerProbably not; the combination is judged unlikely to improve reliability, but a detailed explanation would require diagrams.
NotesThe proposed submarine drive would use heat from the hydrogen-peroxide reaction associated with a Walter turbine as the heat source for a Stirling engine. The expected reliability improvement is doubtful. Explaining the objection properly would require diagrams. No detailed mechanism or thermodynamic calculation is supplied, so the answer remains a cautious rejection of the proposed combination.
