高频热等离子体法合成纳米ZrC粉体及其表征

以炭黑和甲烷分别作为碳源,四氯化锆作为锆源,采用高频热等离子体法合成了超细ZrC粉体。分别采用XRD、高频红外燃烧、SEM、化学重量法对实验产物进行了表征,分析了超细ZrC粉体的物相、纯度、粒径与碳源及进气量之间的影响规律。研究表明:采用不同碳源所合成的ZrC粉体粒径均在100 nm以下,相比较炭黑为碳源,甲烷作为碳源合成的产品纯度高,氧含量低,产率大,因此,甲烷作为碳源更适于批量制备超细ZrC粉体。     

An atmosphere-breathing propulsion system using inductively coupled plasma source

CubeSats have attracted more research interest recently due to their lower cost and shorter production time. A promising technology for CubeSat application is atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion, which can capture the atmospheric particles as propulsion propellant to maintain long-term mission at very low Earth orbit. This paper designs an atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion system for a 3 U CubeSat, which consists of an intake device and an electric thruster based on the inductively coupled plasma. The capture performance of intake device is optimized considering both particles capture efficiency and compression ratio. The plasma source is also analyzed by experiment and simulation. Then, the thrust performance is also estimated when taking into account the intake performance. The results show that it is feasible to use atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion technology for CubeSats to compensate for aerodynamic drag at lower Earth orbit.     

Shocks and instabilities in the partially ionised solar atmosphere

The low solar atmosphere is composed of mostly neutral particles, but the importance of the magnetic field for understanding observed dynamics means that interactions between charged and neutral particles play a very important role in controlling the macroscopic fluid motions. As the exchange of momentum between fluids, essential for the neutral fluid to effectively feel the Lorentz force, is through collisional interactions, the relative timescale of these interactions to the dynamic timescale determines whether a single-fluid model or, when the dynamic frequency is higher, the more detailed two-fluid model is the more appropriate. However, as many MHD phenomena fundamentally contain multi-time-scale processes, even large-scale, long-timescale motions can have an important physical contribution from two-fluid processes. In this review we will focus on two-fluid models, looking in detail at two areas where the multi-time-scale nature of the solar atmosphere means that two-fluid physics can easily develop: shock-waves and instabilities. We then connect these ideas to observations attempting to diagnose two-fluid behaviour in the solar atmosphere, suggesting some ways forward to bring observations and simulations closer together.

不同射流角下等离子体激励对平板气膜冷却影响的数值研究

采用大涡模拟（LES）方法对有/无等离子体激励条件下不同射流角时的平板气膜冷却流场进行了对比研究。结果表明:随着射流角的增大，冷却射流对主流的穿透率与气膜孔下游回流区的范围增大，发卡涡的强度及其抬升射流的能力增强并远离壁面，导致气膜冷却效率降低，但射流角为90°时部分低能冷却流体会进入回流区引起气膜冷却效率升高，故气膜冷却效率在射流角为35°时最大，在射流角为60°时最小；等离子体激励削弱了冷却射流对主流的穿透率，其下拉诱导作用也使得发卡涡头部受到的库塔 儒科夫斯基升力以及水平涡腿间的相互诱导力减小，抑制了发卡涡的发展并促使其破碎为近壁条带结构，从而提高了气膜冷却效率，且射流角越小，上述作用效果越明显，当射流角为35°时中心线气膜冷却效率提高了55%。
