Reverse osmosis application to wash water recovery in manned space mission life support systems, emphasizing membranes development
Application of porous glass in form of capillary tubes for low capacity ion exchange in hyperfiltration experiments is discussed. Efficiency of desalination by process of reverse osmosis is described. Stabilization of porous glass membrane by presence of aluminum chloride is analyzed.
Thin allyl amine polymer films were developed using plasma polymerization. Resulting dry composite membranes effectively reject sodium chloride during reverse osmosis. Films are 98% sodium chloride rejective, and 46% urea rejective.
A cold cathode emitter of hot electrons for use as a source of electrons in vacuum gauges and mass spectrometers was developed using standard Norton electroluminescent silicon carbide p-n diodes operated under reverse bias conditions. Continued development including variations in the geometry of these emitters was carried out such that emitters with an emission efficiency (emitted current/junction current) as high as 3 x 10-0.00001 were obtained. Pulse measurements of the diode characteristics were made and showed that higher efficiency can be attained under pulse conditions probably due to the resulting lower temperatures resulting from such operation.
Vacuum stability screening tests were performed on the Apollo 15 Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) bay nonmetallic materials in accordance with the NASA document SP-R-0022. The testing was necessary to support the evaluation to determine the effect material outgassing contamination would have on the SIM bay optical lenses and sensing devices. The Apollo 15 SIM experiments were highly successful, therefore, it is assumed that contamination due to the outgassing of nonmetallic materials did not affect equipment operation. A related problem, the reversion of a silicone rubber grommet which affected an electrical motor switch operation is also reported.
The changes in thrust minus drag performance as well as longitudinal and directional stability and control characteristics of a single-engine jet aircraft attributable to an in-flight thrust reverser of the blocker-deflector door type were investigated in a 16-foot transonic wind tunnel. The longitudinal and directional stability data are presented. Test conditions simulated landing approach conditions as well as high speed maneuvering such as may be required for combat or steep descent from high altitude.
The cross sections for the process Na(+) + Li reversibly proceeding to Na + Li(+) are calculated in the range from 100 eV to 12 keV using a perturbed stationary state formulation, and are found to agree with experiment to the extent of reproducing detailed structure. A simple interpretation is presented of the observed quasi-oscillatory structure.
