Heat storage and electricity generation in the Moon during the lunar night

One of the biggest challenges of the exploration of the Moon is the survival of the crew and the lunar assets during the lunar night. The environmental conditions on the lunar surface and its cycle, with long periods of darkness, make any long mission in need of specific amounts of heat and electricity to be successful. We have analyzed two different systems to produce heat and electricity on the Moon's surface. The first system consists of Thermal Wadis, sources of thermal power that can be used to supply heat to protect the exploration systems from the extreme cold during periods of darkness. Previous results showed that Wadis can supply enough heat to keep lunar devices such as rovers above their minimum operating temperature (approximately 243 K). The second system studied here is the Thermal Energy Storage (TES), which is able to run a heat engine during the lunar night to produce electricity. When the Sun is shining on the Moon's surface, the system can run the engine directly using the solar power and simultaneously heat a thermal mass. This thermal mass is used as a high temperature source to run the heat engine during the night. We present analytical and numerical calculations for the determination of an appropriate thermal mass for the TES system.     

航天飞行器热防护系统的一体化设计

航天飞行器进入大气层时经受强烈的气动加热,需借助于热防护系统以保护其免受气动热的伤害;飞行器机翼前缘和鼻罩是最高温区,该处的温差相当大,热防护措施尤其重要。作为热防护系统一方面要抵抗强热的冲击,另一方面要最大限度地减少气动热传入结构的内壁,这就对防热系统所用材料提出不同的要求。抗热冲击要求材料质密而隔热但又要求质轻,这就是矛盾所在。随着复合材料的发展,这对矛盾可以通过利用不同材料特性把防热系统分层来解决,从而导致一体化设计的概念和方法。本文利用热传导理论对两层结构的防热系统进行一体化设计分析。     

Equatorial Ionospheric Anomaly (EIA) and comparison with IRI model during descending phase of solar activity (2005–2009)

The ionospheric variability at equatorial and low latitude region is known to be extreme as compared to mid latitude region. In this study the ionospheric total electron content (TEC), is derived by analyzing dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) data recorded at two stations separated by 325 km near the Indian equatorial anomaly region, Varanasi (Geog latitude 25°, 16^/ N, longitude 82°, 59^/ E, Geomagnetic latitude 16°, 08^/ N) and Kanpur (Geog latitude 26°, 18^/ N, longitude 80°, 12^/ E, Geomagnetic latitude 17°, 18^/ N). Specifically, we studied monthly, seasonal and annual variations as well as solar and geomagnetic effects on the equatorial ionospheric anomaly (EIA) during the descending phase of solar activity from 2005 to 2009. It is found that the maximum TEC (EIA) near equatorial anomaly crest yield their maximum values during the equinox months and their minimum values during the summer. Using monthly averaged peak magnitude of TEC, a clear semi-annual variation is seen with two maxima occurring in both spring and autumn. Results also showed the presence of winter anomaly or seasonal anomaly in the EIA crest throughout the period 2005–2009 only except during the deep solar minimum year 2007–2008. The correlation analysis indicate that the variation of EIA crest is more affected by solar activity compared to geomagnetic activity with maximum dependence on the solar EUV flux, which is attributed to direct link of EUV flux on the formation of ionosphere and main agent of the ionization. The statistical mean occurrence of EIA crest in TEC during the year from 2005 to 2009 is found to around 12:54 LT hour and at 21.12° N geographic latitude. The crest of EIA shifts towards lower latitudes and the rate of shift of the crest latitude during this period is found to be 0.87° N/per year. The comparison between IRI models with observation during this period has been made and comparison is poor with increasing solar activity with maximum difference during the year 2005.     

TTE网络流量转换策略及其延时性能保障调度算法研究

时间触发以太网（TTE）通过精确的全局时钟同步,使时间触发（TT）消息具有了严格的时间确定性。当系统同步精度降低时,TT消息的实时性也将严重受到影响。利用TTE交换机的流量类型转换功能,提出了一种基于消息时间窗检测的转换策略（TT-TWD）。该策略应用于TT流量向速率限制（RC）流量的转换过程,能够避免在系统同步精度降低时,TT消息出现丢包或不可接受延迟的情况。为保障该策略下网络流量的实时性,设计了一种基于流量转换策略的优先级调度算法（PTCTS）。运用网络演算理论对PTCTS算法的实时性进行了分析,并与先入先出（FIFO）算法结果对比,证明了PTCTS算法有效地减小了由TT流量转换而来的RC流量的延迟上界,同时保证了原始RC流量端到端延迟的确定性。
