Effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of brush-labyrinth seals at various operating conditions

Over the last few decades, the research on the effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of the brush-labyrinth seals is not sufficient. To this end, two kinds of brush-labyrinth seals for the bristle pack element installed upstream of the labyrinth teeth named BSU and installed downstream of the labyrinth teeth called BSD were used to investigate the effect of bristle pack position on the rotordynamic characteristics of the brush-labyrinth seals. Using the numerical model combining the porous medium model and the whirling rotor method, the rotordynamic characteristics of the BSU and BSD at various operating conditions including four kinds of pressure ratios, five kinds of inlet preswirl speeds and four kinds of rotor spinning speeds were conducted. The obtained results show that the effects of operating conditions on rotordynamic coefficients for the different seal configurations are different. The direct stiffness, cross-coupled stiffness and direct damping of the BSU are lower than those of the BSD. The rotordynamic coefficients of the BSU are more insensitive to the operating conditions variation. From the perspective of the seal stability, the BSU is a better brush-labyrinth seal configuration at high pressure ratio, high positive preswirl or high rotor spinning speed conditions. While in the case of low pressure ratio, low positive preswirl or low rotor spinning speed conditions, the BSD is a better choice.

二级摇摆伺服机构供电系统可靠性分析

某型二级摇摆伺服机构要求在地面热试车全过程中由试验台提供稳定可靠的直流电源,原二级摇摆伺服机构供电系统为单一的整流器供电模式,试验过程完全依赖市电进行转换,没有任何其他保障措施,可靠性受到很大影响.为此,提出2种供电方案,通过比较分析系统的可靠性和可能发生的故障,最终选择了整流器和电池组相配合的供电方式.试验测试性能结果表明：这种供电方式完全满足试车任务的需求并具有较高的可靠性.

C/ C 复合材料SiC/ SiO2 涂层的制备及其抗氧化性能

为提高C/C复合材料的抗氧化性能,采用包埋法和低压化学气相法制备了SiC/SiO2涂层.借助XRD、SEM和EDS等测试手段分析了复合涂层的微观结构,并研究了其在l273、1773 K静态空气中的抗氧化性能.结果表明,包埋法制备的SiC涂层具有一定的浓度梯度.低压化学气相法制备的非晶Si02外涂层则有效地封堵了SiC内涂层的的裂纹和孔洞,并解决了SiC涂层在中温区(1073～1473 K)无法形成完整SiO2膜的问题.在l 273、1 773 K静态空气中经10h氧化后,涂层试样的质量损失率分别仅有4.97和0.36 mg/cm2,表现出良好的抗氧化性能.

Characterizing parameters of Jatropha curcas cell cultures for microgravity studies

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) is a tropical perennial species identified as a potential biofuel crop. The oil is of excellent quality and it has been successfully tested as biodiesel and in jet fuel mixes. However, studies on breeding and genetic improvement of jatropha are limited. Space offers a unique environment for experiments aiming at the assessment of mutations and differential gene expression of crops and in vitro cultures of plants are convenient for studies of genetic variation as affected by microgravity. However, before microgravity studies can be successfully performed, pre-flight experiments are necessary to characterize plant material and validate flight hardware environmental conditions. Such preliminary studies set the ground for subsequent spaceflight experiments. The objectives of this study were to compare the in vitro growth of cultures from three explant sources (cotyledon, leaf, and stem sections) of three jatropha accessions (Brazil, India, and Tanzania) outside and inside the petriGAP, a modified group activation pack (GAP) flight hardware to fit petri dishes. In vitro jatropha cell cultures were established in petri dishes containing a modified MS medium and maintained in a plant growth chamber at 25 ± 2 °C in the dark. Parameters evaluated were surface area of the explant tissue (A), fresh weight (FW), and dry weight (DW) for a period of 12 weeks. Growth was observed for cultures from all accessions at week 12, including subsequent plantlet regeneration. For all accessions differences in A, FW and DW were observed for inside vs. outside the PetriGAPs. Growth parameters were affected by accession (genotype), explant type, and environment. The type of explant influenced the type of cell growth and subsequent plantlet regeneration capacity. However, overall cell growth showed no abnormalities. The present study demonstrated that jatropha in vitro cell cultures are suitable for growth inside PetriGAPs for a period of 12 weeks. The parameters evaluated in this study provide the basic ground work and pre-flight assessment needed to justify a model for microgravity studies with jatropha in vitro cell cultures. Future studies should focus on results of experiments performed with jatropha in vitro cultures in microgravity.
