Re: INS Arihant (ATV) News and Discussion -2

For example this Siemens permanent magnet motor is used as a prime mover in many submarines (not sure though INS Arihant has opted for electric motor prime mover to lower noise levels)

PWR heats water to below saturation conditions in excess of 240 bar, transferring this heat to raise steam in a secondary circuit to drive the boat’s turbines, providing power to boat auxiliaries and the main propulsion system.

Reverse osmosis Desalination plants are part of submarine machinery which provides desalinated water. Nuclear Submarines require 3000psi of O2 for life support and use an electrolytic oxygen generator (EOG) to convert water into oxygen and hydrogen gases.

The Arihant sail/fin is on the conning tower as is evident from the different drawings/skeches and illustrations. Some US Navy subs have a different arrangement for their sail and no noticable humps instead a flat platform USS Nebraska http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/3767887379_095180f2c9_o.jpg

Additionally, Rafales were sent to Afghanista...
