Noncontact modulation calorimetry of metallic liquids in low Earth orbit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Noncontact modulation calorimetry using electromagnetic heating and radiative heat loss under ultrahighvacuum conditions has been applied to levitated solid, liquid, and metastable liquid samples. This experiment requires a reduced gravity environment over an extended period of time and allows the measurement of several thermophysical properties, such as the enthalpy of fusion and crystallization, specific heat, total hemispherical emissivity, and effective thermal conductivity with high precision as a function of temperature. From the results on eutectic glass forming Zr-based alloys thermodynamic functions are obtained which describe the glass-forming ability of these alloys. @S0163-1829~97!02302-3#

Low-Thrust Optimal Orbit Raising with Plane Change
A new guidance scheme for the problem of Low-thrust transfer between inclined orbits is developed within the framework of optimal control theory. The objective of the guidance scheme is to provide the appropriate thrust steering program that will transfer the vehicle from an inclined low earth orbits to the high earth orbits. The presented guidance scheme is determined using Pontryagin’s princi...
متن کاملEffects of Some Parameters on Thermal Control of a LEO Satellite
Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of the High-altitude Launch Technique to Orbit Using Atmospheric Properties
The purpose of this paper is to perform the feasibility and performance evaluation of the High-altitude launch technique using high altitude atmospheric Properties to near earth orbits. The current propulsion transportation system from Earth to space has been deemed by many to be expensive, unreliable, and an unnecessarily dangerous means of travel to space. It is suggested in this paper to ana...
متن کاملHidden amorphous phase and reentrant supercooled liquid in Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses
An anomaly in differential scanning calorimetry has been reported in a number of metallic glass materials in which a broad exothermal peak was observed between the glass and crystallization temperatures. The mystery surrounding this calorimetric anomaly is epitomized by four decades long studies of Pd-Ni-P metallic glasses, arguably the best glass-forming alloys. Here we show, using a suite of ...
متن کاملSeparation of glass transition and crystallization in metallic glasses by temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry
The glass transition behaviour of the four metallic glasses La55Al25Ni20 , Zn65Mg35, and Nd60Fe30Al10 and Zr30Y30Al15Ni25 has been studied by temperature-modulated di erential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). It is clearly demonstrated that the glass transition can be separated from crystallization by MDSC. Two glass transitions have been observed for Zn65Mg35, Nd60Fe30Al10 and Zr30Y30Al15Ni25. Ow...
