Development of a Warm-Gas Butane System for Microsatellite Propulsion
Satellite propulsion systems are typically complex and costly, and require extensive ground support equipment and personnel to implement. While these systems may be feasible for large commercial or government programs to execute, they are impractical for microand nano-satellite systems. In particular, these small spacecraft cannot utilize classical hazardous or high-pressure components, as smal...
متن کاملSpin-polarized 3He : liquid gas equilibrium
We study the effects of nuclear polarization M on the liquid-gas equilibrium phase diagram of 3He, in situations where the saturating vapour pressure increases or decreases as a function of M, and where a metamagnetic instability may occur in the liquid phase. Numerical predictions are given within the frame of a phenomenological model with parameters fitted to reproduce accurately the saturati...
متن کاملA Novel Cold Gas Propulsion System for Nanosatellites and Picosatellites
A Microelectromechanical System-based (MEMS) PICOSAT Inspector (MEPSI) picosatellite on STS-116, in December 2006, used a five thruster cold gas propulsion system to translate and rotate. The inspector picosatellite measured 4 x 4 x 5 inches in dimension and weighted 1.4 kg. Our propulsion system was produced by a unique (to spacecraft) method of manufacturing that is low cost, tightly integrat...
متن کاملPhase Transition Near a Liquid-Gas Coexistence Equilibrium
Effects of small perturbations from a liquid-gas coexistence equilibrium (the Maxwell states) is studied for an isothermal (or isentropic) gas-liquid phase transition in a sealed onedimensional finite length tube, by using a van per Waals model with a viscous-capillary regularization. A matched asymptotic expansion is used to derive formally a linear system satisfied by leading order perturbati...
متن کاملEquilibrium gas–liquid–solid contact angle from density-functional theory
We investigate the equilibrium of a fluid in contact with a solid boundary through a density-functional theory. Depending on the conditions, the fluid can be in one phase, gas or liquid, or two phases, while the wall induces an external field acting on the fluid particles. We first examine the case of a liquid film in contact with the wall. We construct bifurcation diagrams for the film thickne...
