Analytical support for SPAR experiment 76-36
Abstract
The apparatus, materials, and procedures used in an analysis of thermal, convective, and rotational fluid flow for a second series of rocket experiments of dendrite growth are described. A constitutive supercooling criterion was calculated from the thermal data. A convection analysis was made of the various cases to ensure that convective velocities will not exceed about .01 cm/sec in the low-g tests. Damping times for fluid flow generated by rocket spin-up and spin-down were also determined, so that the conditions for this experiment are generally the same as those for the SPAR experiment 74-21 study of ammonium chloride low-g crystallizations.
