一个包括气相和亚表面反应的过氯酸铵复合推进剂的点火模型

本文提出了 Ap 基复合推进剂点火的一个综合模型及其数值解。这一分析模拟位于滞止区的推进剂试样在快速加压条件下的点火过程。本模型的特点包括:a)考虑了 Ap 基复合推进剂点火的详细的化学动力学资料;b)推进剂几何形状是二维(轴对称)的;c)考虑了气相中压力迅速增加对点燃过程的影响。使用隐式有限差分格式求解瞬态二阶联立、非齐次、非线性偏微分控制方程组。数值解揭示在点火阶段顺序发生的一系列重要事件,包括:点火器气体流入接近样品表面的区域;压缩波到达处未燃成份的燃烧;向推进剂传热;氧化剂和燃烧剂的高温分解;气相反应导致点燃。这个模型正确地预测了实验观察到的现象:随着增压速率提高,点火延迟时间缩短。采用文中考虑的不同点火准则都得到和试验一样的趋势。

用伺服控制系统改善无源原子频率标准的振动性能

把尺寸小、予热快和功耗低的铷气泡频率标准用作现时和近期战术频率标准看来是最好的选择,但它在振动环境下的性能尚有待改进。在铷频率标准中可以观察到振动引起的频率不稳定现象。本文要说明的是把压控晶体振荡器(VCXO)的频率紧密地伺服控制在原子谐振基准频率上的方法,来改善铷频率标准的振动性能。对有关机械化的技术问题作了简短的讨论,给出了伺服系统带宽约为100Hz的铷频率标准的实测相位谱密度

批检发动机试车燃速计算精度的影响因素

大西洋研究公司提出了一种分析批检发动机燃速的计算机方法,该法揭示了工业上常用的数据测量方法的一些缺点,这些缺点增加了固体推进剂燃速测定的误差。造成燃速测定误差或不准确性的因素是:浇铸芯子的偏心度;芯子和壳体的不圆度,相应环境温度条件下药柱的变形;推进剂硫化时的收缩;测定燃烧终止的误差;测定燃烧开始的误差;压力测定的误差。除了上述误差因素外,大西洋研究公司发现,除非排除推力测量误差、喷管喉径测量误差、推进剂重量测量误差、药柱长度测量误差等一系列的误差,否则该方法的高精度的潜力就不可能完全实现。     

Early renal changes in 45 degrees HDT rats

Background: Both microgravity and simulated microgravity models, such as the 45HDT (45 degrees head-down tilt), cause a redistribution of body fluids indicating a possible adaptive process to the microgravity stressor. Understanding the physiological processes that occur in microgravity is a first step to developing countermeasures to stop its harmful effects, i.e., (edema, motion sickness) during long-term space flights. Hypothesis: Because of the kidneys' functional role in the regulation of fluid volume in the body, it plays a key role in the body's adaptation to microgravity. Methods: Rats were injected intramuscularly with a radioactive tracer and then lightly anesthetized in order to facilitate their placement in the 45HDT position. They were then placed in the 45HDT position using a specially designed ramp (45HDT group) or prone position (control group) for an experimental time period of 1 h. During this period, the 99mTc-DTPA (technetium-labeled diethylenepentaacetate, MW=492 amu, physical half-life of 6.02 h) radioactive tracer clearance rate was determined by measuring gamma counts per minute. The kidneys were then fixed and sectioned for electron microscopy. A point counting method was used to quantitate intracellular spaces of the kidney proximal tubules. Results: 45HDT animals show a significantly (p=0.0001) increased area in the interstitial space of the proximal tubules. Conclusions: There are significant changes in the kidneys during a 1 h exposure to a simulated microgravity environment that consist primarily of anatomical alterations in the kidney proximal tubules. The kidneys also appear to respond differently to the initial periods of head-down tilt.     

Electrophysiological, histochemical, and hormonal adaptation of rat muscle after prolonged hindlimb suspension

The perspective of long-duration flights for future exploration, imply more research in the field of human adaptation. Previous studies in rat muscles hindlimb suspension (HLS), indicated muscle atrophy and a change of fibre composition from slow-to-fast twitch types. However, the contractile responses to long-term unloading is still unclear. Fifteen adult Wistar rats were studied in 45 and 70 days of muscle unweighting and soleus (SOL) muscle as well as extensor digitorum longus (EDL) were prepared for electrophysiological recordings (single, twitch, tetanic contraction and fatigue) and histochemical stainings. The loss of muscle mass observed was greater in the soleus muscle. The analysis of electrophysiological properties of both EDL and SOL showed significant main effects of group, of number of unweighting days and fatigue properties. Single contraction for soleus muscle remained unchanged but there was statistically significant difference for tetanic contraction and fatigue. Fatigue index showed a decrease for the control rats, but increase for the HLS rats. According to the histochemical findings there was a shift from oxidative to glycolytic metabolism during HLS. The data suggested that muscles atrophied, but they presented an adaptation pattern, while their endurance in fatigue was decreased.
