Near-infrared study of open clusters Teutsch 10 and Teutsch 25

The astrophysical parameters have been estimated for two unstudied open star clusters Teutsch 10 and Teutsch 25 using the Two Micron All Sky Survey ($2\mathit{MASS}$) database. Radius is estimated as 4.5 arcmin for both clusters using radial density profiles. We have estimated proper motion values in both RA and DEC directions as $2.28\pm 0.3$ and $-0.38\pm 0.11$?mas?yr^?1 for Teutsch 10 and $0.48\pm 0.3$ and $3.35\pm 0.16$?mas?yr^?1 for Teutsch 25 using $\mathit{PPMXL}$¹ catalog. By estimating the stellar membership probabilities, we have identified 30 and 28 most likely members for Teutsch 10 and Teutsch 25 respectively. We have estimated the reddening as $E(B-V)=0.96\pm 0.3$?mag for Teutsch 10 and $0.58\pm 0.2$?mag for Teutsch 25, while the corresponding distances are $2.4\pm 0.2$ and $1.9\pm 0.1$?kpc. Ages of $70\pm 10$?Myr for Teutsch 10 and $900\pm 100$?Myr for Teutsch 25 are estimated using the theoretical isochrones of metallicity Z?=?0.019. The mass function slopes are derived as $1.23\pm 0.30$ and $1.09\pm 0.35$ for Teutsch 10 and Teutsch 25 respectively. Estimated mass function slope for both the clusters are close to the Salpeter value ($x=1.35$) within the errors. Estimated values of dynamical relaxation time are found to be less than cluster’s age for these objects. This concludes that both objects are dynamically relaxed. The possible reason for relaxation may be due to dynamical evolution or imprint of star formation or both.     

一种可变流量系数的通气短舱匹配方法

要获得与动力短舱流量系数（MFR）一致的通气短舱,可在飞机气动设计和风洞试验过程中使用通气短舱（TFN）代替动力短舱（PN）模拟发动机短舱效应和短舱进气,以简化设计流程和降低试验成本。在研究流量系数变化对短舱和进气道气动特性影响时,需要匹配多种不同流量系数的通气短舱方案,本文在保持短舱外罩和进气道外形不变的条件下,在短舱内增加锥形堵块,通过调整堵锥的位置可快速获得不同流量系数的通气短舱,相较传统设计通气内涵匹配流量系数的方式效率更高。应用所提出的思路设计的独立通气短舱风洞试验方案得到了验证,实测流量系数与设计值吻合良好,证明了方法的可行性。     

地面燃气轮机单管燃烧室流量分配试验

对设计的100kW地面燃气轮机单管燃烧室空气流量分配进行了试验研究。在常压环境下采用堵孔法分别得到了旋流器、主燃孔和掺混孔的流量特性曲线,分析得到燃烧室不同结构的流量系数;试验研究了不同进口流量条件下燃烧室的流量分配,测量得到了燃烧室总压损失。研究发现:随着进口空气流量的增加,燃烧室的流量分配比例基本保持稳定,并且与燃烧室的设计空气比例基本吻合;随着燃烧室进口流量（雷诺数）的增加,旋流器、主燃孔和掺混孔的流量系数呈线性降低;随着进口流量（雷诺数）的增加,燃烧室总压损失逐渐增大;对主燃孔和掺混孔的流量特性测量中,两种测量方法得到的试验结果稍有差别,总体上看两种测量方法的试验结果较为接近。通过对比分析证明两种试验测量方法真实可靠,该研究结果可为100kW地面燃气轮机燃烧室的设计与优化提供依据。

风洞侧壁干扰对机翼表面霜冰的影响

采用数值模拟的方法研究了不同阻塞度下侧壁干扰对NACA0012翼型表面霜冰生长的影响。通过对流场和水滴撞击特性的研究发现:侧壁干扰会压缩来流空气,致使更多水滴跟随气流向机翼前缘汇集,增大了翼面水滴收集系数,且翼面水滴总收集量与阻塞度成正比、与液滴雷诺数成反比;同时会改变水滴的撞击方向,使水滴撞击极限和最大水收集系数的位置发生偏移。采用多步法对结冰特性的研究发现:在基准计算工况下,当阻塞度为20%时,侧壁干扰效应带来结冰量的相对附加增量约为16%;在同一阻塞度下,各时间步长内的结冰相对附加增量基本相等。提出了一种表征侧壁干扰对水滴收集影响强弱的因子,该影响因子与水滴收集相对附加增量具有较高的线性关系。

Recent active thermal management technologies for the development of energy-optimized aerospace vehicles in China

Recently, the development of modern vehicles has brought about aggressive integration and miniaturization of on-board electrical and electronic devices. It will lead to exponential growth in both the overall waste heat and heat flux to be dissipated to maintain the devices within a safe temperature range. However, both the total heat sinks aboard and the cooling capacity of currently utilized thermal control strategy are severely limited, which threatens the lifetime of the on-board equipment and even the entire flight system and shrink the vehicle’s flight time and range. Facing these thermal challenges, the USA proposed the program of “INVENT” to maximize utilities of the available heat sinks and enhance the cooling ability of thermal control strategies. Following the efforts done by the USA researchers, scientists in China fought their ways to develop thermal management technologies for Chinese advanced energy-optimized airplanes and spacecraft. This paper elaborates the available on-board heat sinks and aerospace thermal management systems using both active and passive technologies not confined to the technology in China. Subsequently, active thermal management technologies in China including fuel thermal management system, environment control system, non-fuel liquid cooling strategy are reviewed. At last, space thermal control technologies used in Chinese Space Station and Chang’e-3 and to be used in Chang’e-5 are introduced. Key issues to be solved are also identified, which could facilitate the development of aerospace thermal control techniques across the world.     

The effective temperatures of O-type stars from UV spectroscopy

We present an analysis of high resolution spectra in the far-UV – UV range (∼905–2000 Å) with non-LTE, spherical, hydrodynamical, line-blanketed models, of three O-type Galactic stars, and derive their photospheric and wind parameters. These data extend previously analyzed samples and fill a gap in spectral type coverage. The combined sample confirms a revised (downward) T_eff scale with respect to canonical calibrations, as found in our previous works from UV and optical spectra, and in recent works by other authors.     

New trade tree for manned mars missions

Recent studies on human missions to Mars suggest revisiting the parameters that have the most important impact on the complexity, the initial mass in low Earth orbit, the risks and the development costs for the first journey to the red planet. In the last NASA reference mission, a trade tree is proposed.     

Applications of tuned mass dampers to improve performance of large space mirrors

In order for future imaging spacecraft to meet higher resolution imaging capability, it will be necessary to build large space telescopes with primary mirror diameters that range from 10 m to 20 m and do so with nanometer surface accuracy. Due to launch vehicle mass and volume constraints, these mirrors have to be deployable and lightweight, such as segmented mirrors using active optics to correct mirror surfaces with closed loop control. As a part of this work, system identification tests revealed that dynamic disturbances inherent in a laboratory environment are significant enough to degrade the optical performance of the telescope. Research was performed at the Naval Postgraduate School to identify the vibration modes most affecting the optical performance and evaluate different techniques to increase damping of those modes. Based on this work, tuned mass dampers (TMDs) were selected because of their simplicity in implementation and effectiveness in targeting specific modes. The selected damping mechanism was an eddy current damper where the damping and frequency of the damper could be easily changed. System identification of segments was performed to derive TMD specifications. Several configurations of the damper were evaluated, including the number and placement of TMDs, damping constant, and targeted structural modes. The final configuration consisted of two dampers located at the edge of each segment and resulted in 80% reduction in vibrations. The WFE for the system without dampers was 1.5 waves, with one TMD the WFE was 0.9 waves, and with two TMDs the WFE was 0.25 waves. This paper provides details of some of the work done in this area and includes theoretical predictions for optimum damping which were experimentally verified on a large aperture segmented system.
