Detailed measurements of aerodynamic heating rates in the wake of a Mars-Pathfinder configuration model have been made. Heating data were obtained in a conventional wind tunnel, the NASA LaRC 31" Mach 10 Air Tunnel, and in a high-enthalpy impulse facility, the NASA HYPULSE expansion tube, in which air and CO2 were employed as test gases. The enthalpy levels were 0.7 MJ/kg in the Mach 10 Tunnel,...

Thermophysical properties of molten core materials (corium) are necessary input parameters models and computer codes which predict the severe accident progression in light water reactors. The corium contains components UO 2 , ZrO Zr Fe. measurement is a very challenging task due to high melting points can reach 3000 K. This paper presents density system for drop based on techniques aerodynamic ...
