  Otto fuel II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Otto fuel II is a monopropellant used to drive torpedoes and other weapon systems.
In addition to its use by the U.S. Navy as a stabilizer in the manufacture of Otto Fuel II, 2-nitrodiphenylamine is employed for similar purposes by the U.S. Army in the manufacture of double base solid propellants.
Dibutyl sebacate is a desensitizer in Otto Fuel II.

 OTTO FUEL II
Otto Fuel II is first sprayed under pressure into a combustion chamber where it is ignited.
Otto Fuel II is a stable, liquid monopropellant composed of a nitrate ester in solution with a desensitizing agent and a stabilizer.
Otto Fuel II can detonate, but the conditions and stimulus required are so extreme that it is considered a nonexplosive.

The vapor pressures of the three components of Otto Fuel II differ considerably.
During vapor generation studies with Otto Fuel II, PGDN was the only component vaporized into inhalation exposure chambers in sufficient quantity to allow direct analysis (Stewart et al.
In light of the low toxicity of dibutyl sebacate and 2-nitrodiphenylamine and the fact that they do not vaporize to a detectable extent at test compound generation temperatures up to 45°C, the toxicity of Otto Fuel II has been evaluated in terms of PGDN.

 Reciprocating engine -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The reciprocating engine was introduced with the now obsolete steam engine, but today the most common form of reciprocating engines is the internal combustion engine using the burning of gasoline, diesel fuel, oil or natural gas to provide pressure.
Each piston is located inside a cylinder, into which a fuel and air mixture is introduced, and then ignited.
In most cases the gas, like that produced by high test peroxide or Otto fuel II, provides the energy without need of oxygen and allows propulsion under water for considerable periods of time over significant distances.

 Indian Head History
The World War II years brought rapid growth to the Indian Head Naval Powder Factory, which was considered one of the leading war-supply stations.
During World War II, the Navy facility produced flashless powder and pellets, and research was conducted in rocketry and development of air-to-ground anti-tank weapons.
Highlighting the year 1962 was the pilot-scale manufacture of the X-248 third stage motor for the Scout missile, followed by Indian Head's development of Otto Fuel II for high-speed torpedoes in 1963, retooling the Biazzi Plant for its production.

 USA Torpedoes since World War II
The Westinghouse torpedo used a Sunstrand turbine, as used in the Mod 0, for propulsion, while Clevite used Otto fuel in an external combustion, axial piston engine.
Much of this change was made possible by the introduction of integrated circuits, including microprocessors, whose small size made it possible to move many of the functions of the control group into the nose.
The guidance wire spool was moved to a position aft of the enlarged fuel tank and other layout changes were made.

 Nat' Academies Press, An Assessment of Undersea Weapons Science and Technology (2000)
The OTTO-fuel II system operates as an open cycle and discharges the exhaust to the ocean, while the SCEPS system has a closed-cycle engine, a constant overall weight, higher energy density, and less radiated noise.
Energy sources that can be switched from a low rate to a high rate would be applicable in weapons that have a low-speed search mode and high-speed attack.
The conventional low-rate energy sources are electrochemical devices such as rechargeable batteries and fuel cells.

 BHARAT RAKSHAK MONITOR: Volume 3(4)
But the need for much higher speed forced designers to turn to thermal propulsion, High-Test Peroxide (HTP), Otto II fuel (nitrogen ester plus an Oxidant) and HAP-Otto being the most successful examples, For many years it was not known that the Swedish Torpedoes was of a very high performance.
Propulsion system based on Electro Chemical power sources such as Batteries,Fuel Cell and Semi Fuel cells are likely to be less expensive to manufacture, Mechanically Recharge Batteries employing a Water reduction cathode reaction or a water augmented flowing Catholyte(semi fuel cells) could provide exceptional specific energy densities if high electrochemical efficiencies are realized.
