Mini gas-core propulsion concept

A propulsion concept is presented that can achieve specific impulses of 1000 to 2000 seconds for thrust levels on the order of 100 pounds (445 N) and maintain a small (1.22 m) reactor diameter for a total power-plant weight of approximately 10,000 kg. The concept combines a small (0.61 m) diameter spherical gas core centrally located, followed by a moderator (BeO-15 cm), surrounded by a driver fuel region and contained in a pressure vessel (ID of 1.22 m). Best results (i.e., highest ratio of cavity power to total power) occur with U-233 isotope as the fuel in both the cavity and the driver, although U-235 can also be used. Concept may also have application in the testing of a gas-core reactor and MHD devices and in high temperature-pressure materials research.

A tunnel wick 100,000 watt-inch heat pipe.

The tunnel wick is a new type of heat pipe artery which can prime in a gravity environment by temperature-induced pressure differences between interior and exterior. The paper discusses the concept and its application in the design of room-temperature high-transport-capacity heat pipes. The analytical model of the system is summarized; and performance data obtained with the aid of a related computer program is included. Test data verifying the concept is presented for several pipes, including an eight-foot-long, 0.9-inch ID heat pipe, using ammonia working fluid, with a transport capacity in excess of 150,000 watt-inches. A brief discussion of potential applications for this type of heat pipe includes a variable conductance device to serve as a radiator header and a high capacity heat transport system.

Design and testing a high fuel volume fraction, externally finned, thermionic emitter.

A prototypical, high fuel volume fraction, thermionic emitter body was designed and tested. The emitter body is all tungsten, with a 1.40-cm ID, a 3.23-cm OD, and eight full-length axial fins. The emitter thickness is 0.15 cm while the fins and outer clad are 0.075 cm thick. Different methods of fabrication were used in making the test samples. Stress analysis was performed with a three-dimensional elastic code. Thermal testing of the samples, duplicating calculated radial temperature gradients, heatup and cooldown rates, and emitter body temperatures in operation, was performed with no structural failures noted (six heatup and cooldown cycles per sample). Further emitter analysis and testing is planned.

Forest and range mapping in the Houston area with ERTS-1

ERTS-1 data acquired over the Houston area has been analyzed for applications to forest and range mapping. In the field of forestry the Sam Houston National Forest (Texas) was chosen as a test site, (Scene ID 1037-16244). Conventional imagery interpretation as well as computer processing methods were used to make classification maps of timber species, condition and land-use. The results were compared with timber stand maps which were obtained from aircraft imagery and checked in the field. The preliminary investigations show that conventional interpretation techniques indicated an accuracy in classification of 63 percent. The computer-aided interpretations made by a clustering technique gave 70 percent accuracy. Computer-aided and conventional multispectral analysis techniques were applied to range vegetation type mapping in the gulf coast marsh. Two species of salt marsh grasses were mapped.

The results of an agricultural analysis of the ERTS-1 MSS data at the Johnson Space Center

The initial analysis of the ERTS-1 multispectral scanner (MSS) data at the Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston, Texas is discussed. The primary data set utilized was the scene over Monterey Bay, California, on July 25, 1972, NASA ERTS ID No. 1002-18134. It was submitted to both computerized and image interpretative processing. An area in the San Joaquin Valley was submitted to an intensive evaluation of the ability of the data to (1) discriminate between crop types and (2) to provide a reasonably accurate area measurement of agricultural features of interest. The results indicate that the ERTS-1 MSS data is capable of providing the identifications and area extent of agricultural lands and field crop types.

Unsupervised classification and areal measurement of land and water coastal features on the Texas coast

Multispectral scanner (MSS) digital data from ERTS-1 was used to delineate coastal land, vegetative, and water features in two portions of the Texas Coastal Zone. Data (Scene ID's 1037-16244 and 1037-16251) acquired on August 29, 1972, were analyzed on NASA Johnson Space Center systems through the use of two clustering algorithms. Seventeen to 30 spectrally homogeneous classes were so defined. Many classes were identified as being pure features such as water masses, salt marsh, beaches, pine, hardwoods, and exposed soil or construction materials. Most classes were identified to be mixtures of the pure class types. Using an objective technique for measuring the percentage of wetland along salt marsh boundaries, an analysis was made of the accuracy of areal measurement of salt marshes. Accuracies ranged from 89 to 99 percent. Aircraft photography was used as the basis for determining the true areal size of salt marshes in the study sites.

GRAN experiment

A global system for search and rescue was studied to reduce the time lost between a mishap and rescue efforts. The sequence of the GRAN concept proceeds as follows: (1) A distress call is initiated by a survivor and consists of the retransmission of Omega tones and a unique identifying code. (2) Signals are frequency translated through the satellite from UHF to SHF. (3) The received signals are processed in real-time using improved skywave correction and lane ambiguity techniques. The results are processed in geographical coordinates, time of day, and unique ID. This information is then relayed to the closest rescue agent. The Omega system is described, and the satellite/GRAN compatibility is discussed. The program plan and schedule are included.

Performance of a 12-coil superconducting 'bumpy torus' magnet facility.

The NASA-Lewis 'bumpy torus' facility consists of 12 superconducting coils, each 19 cm ID and capable of 3.0 tesla on their axes. The coils are equally spaced around a toroidal array with a major diameter of 1.52 m, and are mounted with the major axis of the torus vertical in a single vacuum tank 2.6 m in diameter. Final shakedown tests of the facility mapped out its magnetic, cryogenic, vacuum, mechanical, and electrical performance. The facility is now ready for use as a plasma physics research facility. A maximum magnetic field on the magnetic axis of 3.23 teslas has been held for a period of more than sixty minutes without a coil normalcy.

The effect of system blocking in an intensifier dissector scanner.

Blocking an intensifier dissector scanner (IDS) system after an image element has seen one event is shown to shift the output pulse distribution toward one count per input photon and move the S/N ratio closer to the 'real' square root of the input photon rate.

NASTRAN data generation of helicopter fuselages using interactive graphics

The development and implementation of a preprocessor system for the finite element analysis of helicopter fuselages is described. The system utilizes interactive graphics for the generation, display, and editing of NASTRAN data for fuselage models. It is operated from an IBM 2250 cathode ray tube (CRT) console driven by an IBM 370/145 computer. Real time interaction plus automatic data generation reduces the nominal 6 to 10 week time for manual generation and checking of data to a few days. The interactive graphics system consists of a series of satellite programs operated from a central NASTRAN Systems Monitor. Fuselage structural models including the outer shell and internal structure may be rapidly generated. All numbering systems are automatically assigned. Hard copy plots of the model labeled with GRID or elements ID's are also available. General purpose programs for displaying and editing NASTRAN data are included in the system. Utilization of the NASTRAN interactive graphics system has made possible the multiple finite element analysis of complex helicopter fuselage structures within design schedules.

Earth Resources Technology Satellite: Non-US standard catalog No. N-13

To provide dissemination of information regarding the availability of Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) imagery, a Non-U.S. Standard Catalog is published on a monthly schedule. The catalogs identify imagery which has been processed and input to the data files during the preceding month. The Non-U.S. Standard Catalog includes imagery covering all areas except that of the United States, Hawaii, and Alaska. Imagery adjacent to the Continental U.S. and Alaska borders will normally appear in the U.S. Standard Catalog. As a supplement to these catalogs, an inventory of ERTS imagery on 16 millimeter microfilm is available. The catalogs consist of four parts: (1) annotated maps which graphically depict the geographic areas covered by the imagery listed in the current catalog, (2) a computer-generated listing organized by observation identification number (ID) with pertinent information for each image, (3) a computer listing of observations organized by longitude and latitude, and (4) observations which have had changes made in their catalog information since the original entry in the data base.

Investigation of a vibration-damping unit for reduction in low-frequency vibrations of electric motors

The vibroacoustical characteristics of different types of electric motors are discussed. It is shown that the basic source of low frequency vibrations is rotor unbalance. A flexible damping support, with an antivibrator, is used to obtain the vibroacoustical effect of reduction in the basic harmonic of the electric motor. A model of the electric motor and the damping apparatus is presented. Mathematical models are developed to show the relationships of the parameters. The basic purpose in using a calculation model id the simultaneous replacement of the exciting force created by the rotor unbalance and its inertial rigidity characteristics by a limiting kinematic disturbance.
