An alternative Shell inversion technique - Analysis and validation based on COSMIC and ionosonde data

Multi-channel Global Positioning System (GPS) carrier phase signals, received by the six low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) program, were used to undertake active limb sounding of the Earth’s atmosphere and ionosphere via radio occultation. In the ionospheric radio occultation (IRO) data processing, the standard Shell inversion technique (SIT), transformed from the traditional Abel inversion technique (AIT), is widely used, and can retrieve good electron density profiles. In this paper, an alternative SIT method is proposed. The comparison between different inversion techniques will be discussed, taking advantage of the availability of COSMIC datasets. Moreover, the occultation results obtained from the SIT and alternative SIT at 500 km and 800 km, are compared with ionosonde measurements. The electron densities from the alternative SIT show excellent consistency to those from the SIT, with strong correlations over 0.996 and 0.999 at altitudes of 500 km and 800 km, respectively, and the peak electron densities (N_mF₂) from the alternative SIT are equivalent to the SIT, with 0.839 vs. 0.844, and 0.907 vs. 0.909 correlation coefficients when comparing to those by the ionosondes. These results show that: (1) the N_mF₂ and h_mF₂ retrieved from the SIT and alternative SIT are highly consistent, and in a good agreement with those measured by ionosondes, (2) no matter which inversion technique is used, the occultation results at the higher orbits (∼800 km) are better than those at the lower orbits (∼500 km).

麻疯树油/RP-3航油混合燃料燃烧特性实验研究

为研究麻疯树油/RP-3航空煤油混合燃料的燃烧特性,在定容燃烧弹内完成了体积混合比分别为1:0,1:1和1:3,初始温度500K,初始压力0.1MPa,当量比为0.7～1.5混合燃料的实验。分析得到了混合燃料的火焰发展特性、火焰半径变化率、拉伸火焰传播速度、马克斯坦长度、无拉伸火焰传播速度等燃料燃烧特性,并与RP-3航空煤油对比。得到以下结论:在当量比为0.7～1.2时,火焰传播稳定,火焰前锋面较光滑;在当量比增至1.3～1.5时,火焰前锋面出现大量裂纹、胞状结构和微型火团,与其他大分子碳氢燃料的燃烧性质相似;在初始温度和初始压力一定时,无拉伸层流火焰传播速度随当量比先增加后减小,在当量比为0.9～1.0附近时,无拉伸层流火焰传播速度达到最大值;混合燃料的马克斯坦长度与当量比呈反比,在当量比为0.7～1.2时,马克斯坦长度为正值,燃烧趋于稳定;在当量比为1.3～1.5时,马克斯坦长度为负值,燃烧趋于不稳定。与RP-3航空煤油对比,掺有麻疯树油时马克斯坦长度轻微降低,燃烧稳定性稍差;在当量比小于1.0时,无拉伸火焰传播速度轻微降低,在当量比大于1.0时,无拉伸火焰传播速度显著降低。

Initial design of laboratories for sustainable habitation

An effective and self-sustainable artificial habitat design is essential for human spaceflight and expansion of mankind into orbit or towards other celestial bodies. There are two approaches that need to be implemented in future sustainable habitats: the use of re-cycling technologies in order to gain experience in closed-loop processes and the primary production of resource materials using In Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) principles. Various products will be provided and, where applicable, recycled in such a system taking into account basic human factors requirements such as crew work load capacity, safety and well-being, namely:
