The second stage propulsion system for N-launch vehicle

The pressure-fed second stage propulsion system for N-launch vehicle provides 53,348 N (5440 kg) thrust for about 250 sec at an Isp of 290.2 sec. Aluminum tanks, integral with vehicle structure, carry a minimum of 4.7 ton propellant combination of N₂O₄ and Aerozine 50. The gimbaled engine consists of a regenerative cooled chamber, ablative nozzle spacer, and a radiation cooled nozzle extension with an exit area ratio of 26. Utmost utilization of domestically available technology and facilities underlay the design concept. Development of the propulsion system took 5 years with the first flight occurring in 1975. Five consecutive flight successes up to 1979 have demonstrated the reliability and performance of the system.Improved N vehicle, designated as N-II, will succeed the N vehicle. New second stage propulsion system for N-II delivers 43,816 N (4468 kg) thrust at an Isp of 314.1 sec and has restart-capability.     

液晶流动可视化方法研究拟似冲击波的内部超声速流

在一个压力一真空超声速风洞中,剪切应力敏感液晶流动可视化技术被应用来研究方管内马赫数2拟似冲击波（pseudo-shockwave）的超声速流动。它主要提供关于整个流动的定性信息,诸如湍流边界层分离、再附着位置以及流动的维数等。而且液晶也反映了表面流线,分离区内的涡流和管道流动的角效应。使用两种不同黏度的液晶分别进行实验,分析黏度对结果的影响。液晶实验的结果与纹影照片所得结果比较吻合,说明了液晶是一个非常有效的流动可视化工具。
