Excited state and steady state populations in high pressure plasma with heavy particle collisional ionization and electron-ion recombination
Measuring conductive heat flow and thermal conductivity of laminar gas stream in cylindrical plug to simulate atmospheric reentry
Superalloys are being considered for the primary heat shields and supports in the thermal protection system of both hypersonic transport and space shuttle vehicles. Since conservative design philosophy dictates designs based on residual material properties at the end of the service life, material characterization after exposure to the environmental conditions imposed by the flight requirements of these two classes of vehicles is needed on the candidate alloys. An investigation was conducted to provide some of the necessary data, with emphasis placed on oxidation, creep, and residual properties of thin-gage sheet material.

Algorithms were updated for a quicker analysis of computer compatible tapes in an effort to establish the absolute and relative accuracy of HCMM infrared data. Data for four case studies were identified and extracted from the tapes. These studies include three dates for the Nantucket Shoals region and one date for the Gulf of Mexico region. Upper air meteorological data, which are needed to make atmospheric correction of the HCMM data, are being reduced and prepared for calculation of the atmospheric effect.
The use of TOMS total ozone data obtained by the Nimbus-7 satellite in order to improve satellite microwave retrieval in the tropopause is investigated. Attention is given to the determination of the tropopause by means of TOMS data, the character of the effect of tropopause errors on microwave MSU retrievals, and the use of air mass to stratify regression retrievals.
Spanwise average heat fluxes, resolved in the streamwise direction to one stream-wise hole spacing were measured for two-dimensional arrays of circular air jets impinging on a heat transfer surface parallel to the jet orifice plate. The jet flow, after impingement, was constrained to exit in a single direction along the channel formed by the jet orifice plate and heat transfer surface. The crossflow originated from the jets following impingement and an initial crossflow was present that approached the array through an upstream extension of the channel. The regional average heat fluxes are considered as a function of parameters associated with corresponding individual spanwise rows within the array. A linear superposition model was employed to formulate appropriate governing parameters for the individual row domain. The effects of flow history upstream of an individual row domain are also considered. The results are formulated in terms of individual spanwise row parameters. A corresponding set of streamwise resolved heat transfer characteristics formulated in terms of flow and geometric parameters characterizing the overall arrays is described.
