Microstructure-based modeling of inner oxygen pressure in solid oxide electrolysis cells: Analysis of electrode delamination and mitigation

One major degradation mechanism during long-term operation of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) is delamination of oxygen electrodes (OEs). The driving force for the electrode delamination could be the generated high inner oxygen pressure near the electrode-electrolyte interface during operation. However, the effects of transport properties and electrode thickness on the inner oxygen partial pressure are not well understood. Here a microstructure-based electrochemical model, which includes the conduction of electrons and oxygen ions coupled with Butler-Volmer-type chemical reactions at triple-phase-boundaries (TPBs), is employed to investigate the oxygen pressure in lanthanum strontium manganate (LSM)-based SOECs. The model is applied to both two-dimensional (2D) prototype microstructures and three-dimensional (3D) realistic microstructures, and the oxygen pressure is analyzed as a function of transport properties and electrode thickness under both potentiostatic and galvanostatic operations. The simulation results suggest strategies to suppress electrode delamination. The simulation results are compared to an analytical solution, and the discrepancies are attributed to the Butler-Volmer-type kinetics included in the microstructure-based model.

Dual throat thruster test results

Test results are presented for a dual throat thruster burning gaseous oxygen and hydrogen at primary (inner) chamber pressures from 380 to 680 psia. Heat flux profiles were obtained from calorimetric cooling channels in the inner nozzle, outer or secondary chamber and the tip of the inner nozzle. Data were obtained for two nozzle spacings over a chamber pressure ratio (secondary/primary) range of 0.45 to 0.83 with both chambers firing (Mode I). Fluxes near the end of the inner nozzle were significantly higher than in Mode II when only the inner chamber was fired, due to flow separation and recirculation caused by the back pressure imposed by the secondary chamber. As the pressure ratio increased, these heat fluxes increased and the region of high heat flux relative to Mode II extended farther upstream. The use of a gaseous hydrogen bleed flow in the secondary chamber to control heat fluxes in the primary plume attachment region was investigated in Mode II testing. A bleed flow of less than two percent of the primary chamber flow was required.

Dual-throat thruster thermal model

The dual-throat engine is one of the dual nozzle engine concepts studied for advanced space transportation applications. It provides a thrust change and an in-flight area ratio change through the use of two concentric combustors with their throats arranged in series. Test results are presented for a dual throat thruster burning gaseous oxygen and hydrogen at primary (inner) chamber pressures from 380 to 680 psia. Heat flux profiles were obtained from calorimetric cooling channels in the inner nozzle, outer or secondary chamber and the tip of the inner nozzle. Data were obtained for two nozzle spacings over a chamber pressure ratio (secondary/primary) range of 0.45 to 0.83 with both chambers firing (Mode I). Fluxes near the end of the inner nozzle were significantly higher than in Mode II when only the inner chamber was fired, due to the flow separation and recirculation caused by the back pressure imposed by the secondary chamber. As the pressure ratio increased, these heat fluxes increased and the region of high heat flux relative to Mode II extended farther upstream. The use of the gaseous hydrogen bleed flow in the secondary chamber to control heat fluxes in the primary plume attachment region was investigated in Mode II testing. A thermal model of a dual throat thruster was developed and upgraded using the experimental data.

Analysis of Process Gases and Trace Contaminants in Membrane-Aerated Gaseous Effluent Streams.

In membrane-aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs), hollow fibers are used to supply oxygen to the biofilms and bulk fluid. A pressure and concentration gradient between the inner volume of the fibers and the reactor reservoir drives oxygen mass transport across the fibers toward the bulk solution, providing the fiber-adhered biofilm with oxygen. Conversely, bacterial metabolic gases from the bulk liquid, as well as from the biofilm, move opposite to the flow of oxygen, entering the hollow fiber and out of the reactor. Metabolic gases are excellent indicators of biofilm vitality, and can aid in microbial identification. Certain gases can be indicative of system perturbations and control anomalies, or potentially unwanted biological processes occurring within the reactor. In confined environments, such as those found during spaceflight, it is important to understand what compounds are being stripped from the reactor and potentially released into the crew cabin to determine the appropriateness or the requirement for additional mitigation factors. Reactor effluent gas analysis focused on samples provided from Kennedy Space Center's sub-scale MABRs, as well as Johnson Space Center's full-scale MABRs, using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography techniques. Process gases, such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrous oxide, were quantified to monitor reactor operations. Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) GC-MS analysis was used to identify trace volatile compounds. Compounds of interest were subsequently quantified. Reactor supply air was examined to establish target compound baseline concentrations. Concentration levels were compared to average ISS concentration values and/or Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentration (SMAC) levels where appropriate. Based on a review of to-date results, current trace contaminant control systems (TCCS) currently on board the ISS should be able to handle the added load from bioreactor systems without the need for secondary mitigation.

Evaluation of space shuttle main engine bearings from high pressure oxygen turbopump 9008

Two used turbopump mainshaft support bearings were examined to determine steps needed to achieve turbopump lifetimes of 27,000 seconds. The two bearings, which had been run in a high pressure oxygen turbopump, are angular contact ball bearings, applied as a preloaded pair, locked to the shaft, inner race rotating, with the outer races unrestrained axially. Examination showed that both bearings had been subjected to overloads, leading to fatigue spalling on the races and balls and advanced retainer wear. This is clear evidence of unintended high internal loads in the high pressure oxygen pump which would lead to complete bearing failure and extensive secondary pump damage. Action must be taken to reduce the applied bearing loads or to incorporate bearings of sufficient size to withstand the high loads.

Failure Simulation Testing of the Z-1 Spacesuit Titanium Bearing Assemblies

The Z-2 is a candidate for NASA's next generation spacesuit, designed for a range of possible missions with enhanced mobility for spacewalks both on planetary surfaces and in microgravity. Increased mobility was accomplished through innovations in shoulder and hip joints, using a number of new bearings to allow spacesuit wearers to dip, walk, and bend with ease; all important tasks for a planetary explorer collecting samples or traveling over rough terrain. The Advanced Spacesuit Development Team of NASA Johnson Space Center requested that the NASA White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) perform a series failure simulation tests on three titanium bearing assemblies, an elemental part of the joint construction used in new spacesuit designs. This testing simulated two undetected failures within the bearings and as a result the objective of this test program was to evaluate whether a failed or failing bearing could result in ignition of the titanium race material due to friction. The first failure was an inner seal leak sufficient to pressurize the race with +99 percent oxygen. The second failure was an improperly installed or mismatched ball port that created a protrusion in the ball bearing race, partially obstructing the nominal rolling path of each ball bearing. When the spacesuit bearings are assembled, bearing balls are loaded into the assembly via a ball port. The ball port is specific and unique to each bearing assembly (matched pair). The simulated mismatched ball port is a significant source of friction, which would be caused by an assembly error. To evaluate this risk, the bearings were cycled in a simulated worst-case scenario environment, with operational loads, and potential flaw conditions. During test the amount of actuation torque required and heat generated through continuous operation were measured and the bearings were observed for sparks or burning events. This paper provides detailed descriptions of the test hardware, methodology, and results.

High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of Iridium-Rhenium Alloys

The life-limiting mechanism for radiation-cooled rockets made from iridium-coated rhenium (Ir/Re) is the diffusion of Re into the Ir layer and the subsequent oxidation of the resulting Ir-Re alloy from the inner surface. In a previous study, a life model for Ir/Re rockets was developed. It incorporated Ir-Re diffusion and oxidation data to predict chamber lifetimes as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. Oxidation testing at 1540 deg C suggested that a 20-wt percent Re concentration at the inner wall surface should be established as the failure criterion. The present study was performed to better define Ir-oxidation behavior as a function of Re concentration and to supplement the data base for the life model. Samples ranging from pure Ir to Ir-40 wt percent Re (Ir-40Re) were tested at 1500 deg C, in two different oxygen environments. There were indications that the oxidation rate of the Ir-Re alloy increased significantly when it went from a single-phase solid solution to a two-phase mixture, as was suggested in previous work. However, because of testing anomalies in this study, there were not enough dependable oxidation data to definitively raise the Ir/Re rocket failure criterion from 20-wt percent Re to a Re concentration corresponding to entry into the two-phase region.

A Laboratory Model of a Hydrogen/Oxygen Engine for Combustion and Nozzle Studies

A small laboratory diagnostic thruster was developed to augment present low thrust chemical rocket optical and heat flux diagnostics at the NASA Lewis Research Center. The objective of this work was to evaluate approaches for the use of temperature and pressure sensors for the investigation of low thrust rocket flow fields. The nominal engine thrust was 110 N. Tests were performed at chamber pressures of about 255 kPa, 370 kPa, and 500 kPa with oxidizer to fuel mixture ratios between 4.0 and 8.0. Two gaseous hydrogen/gaseous oxygen injector designs were tested with 60 percent and 75 percent fuel film cooling. The thruster and instrumentation designs were proven to be effective via hot fire testing. The thruster diagnostics provided inner wall temperature and static pressure measurements which were compared to the thruster global performance data. For several operating conditions, the performance data exhibited unexpected trends which were correlated with changes in the axial wall temperature distribution. Azimuthal temperature distributions were found to be a function of operating conditions and hardware configuration. The static pressure profiles showed that no severe pressure gradients were present in the rocket. The results indicated that small differences in injector design can result in dramatically different thruster performance and wall temperature behavior, but that these injector effects may be overshadowed by operating at a high fuel film cooling rate.

Small hydrogen/oxygen rocket flowfield behavior from heat flux measurements

The mixing and heat transfer phenomena in small rocket flow fields with fuel film cooling is not well understood. An instrumented, water-cooled chamber with a gaseous hydrogen/gaseous oxygen injector was used to gather steady-state inner and outer wall temperature profiles. The chamber was tested at 414 kPa (60 psia) chamber pressure, from mixture ratios of 3.41 to 8.36. Sixty percent of the fuel was used for film cooling. These temperature profiles were used as boundary conditions in a finite element analysis program, MSC/NASTRAN, to calculate the local radial and axial heat fluxes in the chamber wall. The normal heat fluxes were then calculated and used as a diagnostic of the rocket's flow field behavior. The normal heat fluxes determined were on the order of 1.0 to 3.0 MW/meters squared (0.6 to 1.8 Btu/sec-inches squared). In the cases where mixture ratio was 5 or above, there was a sharp local heat flux maximum in the barrel section of the chamber. This local maximum seems to indicate a reduction or breakdown of the fuel film cooling layer, possibly due to increased mixing in the shear layer between the film and core flows. However, the flow was thought to be completely laminar, as the throat Reynolds numbers were below 50,000 for all the cases. The increased mixing in the shear layer in the higher mixture ratio cases appeared not to be due to the transition of the flow from laminar to turbulent, but rather due to increased reactions between the hydrogen film and oxidizer-rich core flows.

Experimental evaluation of heat transfer on a 1030:1 area ratio rocket nozzle

A 1030:1 carbon steel, heat-sink nozzle was tested. The test conditions included a nominal chamber pressure of 2413 kN/sq m and a mixture ratio range of 2.78 to 5.49. The propellants were gaseous oxygen and gaseous hydrogen. Outer wall temperature measurements were used to calculate the inner wall temperature and the heat flux and heat rate to the nozzle at specified axial locations. The experimental heat fluxes were compared to those predicted by the Two-Dimensional Kinetics (TDK) computer model analysis program. When laminar boundary layer flow was assumed in the analysis, the predicted values were within 15% of the experimental values for the area ratios of 20 to 975. However, when turbulent boundary layer conditions were assumed, the predicted values were approximately 120% higher than the experimental values. A study was performed to determine if the conditions within the nozzle could sustain a laminar boundary layer. Using the flow properties predicted by TDK, the momentum-thickness Reynolds number was calculated, and the point of transition to turbulent flow was predicted. The predicted transition point was within 0.5 inches of the nozzle throat. Calculations of the acceleration parameter were then made to determine if the flow conditions could produce relaminarization of the boundary layer. It was determined that if the boundary layer flow was inclined to transition to turbulent, the acceleration conditions within the nozzle would tend to suppress turbulence and keep the flow laminar-like.

Electric discharge for treatment of trace contaminants

A radio frequency glow discharge reactor is described for removing trace oxidizable contaminants from an oxygen bearing atmosphere. The reaction chamber is defined by an inner metal electrode facing a dielectric backed by an outer conductive electrode. In one embodiment, a conductive liquid forms the conductor of an outer electrode and cools the dielectric. A resonator coupled to a variable radio frequency source generates the high voltages for creating a glow discharge in the chamber at a predetermined pressure whereby the trace contaminants are oxidized into a few simple non-toxic products that may be easily recovered. The corresponding process for removal of trace contaminants from an oxygen-bearing atmosphere with high efficiency independent of the concentration level is also disclosed.

Numerical study of high-area-ratio H2/O2 rocket nozzles

Calculations were made for high-area-ratio H2/O2 rocket nozzles by using the RPLUS code which employs an implicit finite volume, lower-upper symmetric successive over-relaxation scheme to solve the Navier-Stokes equations and the species equations in a coupled manner. The combustion processes of hydrogen and oxygen are modeled by an 8-species and 18-step reaction mechanism, and the turbulence is simulated by the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model with a pressure gradient correction on the van Driest's damping constant in the inner-layer model. The calculated results for two different rocket nozzles are presented as contours, profiles, and performance values. The predicted specific impulse and thrust agree well with the experimental data and those from the industry standard code. It is demonstrated that the RPLUS code can be used for analysis of rocket nozzles.

Small rocket flowfield diagnostic chambers

Instrumented and optically-accessible rocket chambers are being developed to be used for diagnostics of small rocket (less than 440 N thrust level) flowfields. These chambers are being tested to gather local fluid dynamic and thermodynamic flowfield data over a range of test conditions. This flowfield database is being used to better understand mixing and heat transfer phenomena in small rockets, influence the numerical modeling of small rocket flowfields, and characterize small rocket components. The diagnostic chamber designs include: a chamber design for gathering wall temperature profiles to be used as boundary conditions in a finite element heat flux model; a chamber design for gathering inner wall temperature and static pressure profiles; and optically-accessible chamber designs, to be used with a suite of laser-based diagnostics for gathering local species concentration, temperature, density, and velocity profiles. These chambers were run with gaseous hydrogen/gaseous oxygen (GH2/GO2) propellants, while subsequent versions will be run on liquid oxygen/hydrocarbon (LOX/HC) propellants. The purpose, design, and initial test results of these small rocket flowfield diagnostic chambers are summarized.

Lightweight Thermal Insulation for a Liquid-Oxygen Tank

A proposed lightweight, reusable thermal-insulation blanket has been designed for application to a tank containing liquid oxygen, in place of a non-reusable spray-on insulating foam. The blanket would be of the multilayer-insulation (MLI) type and equipped with a pressure-regulated nitrogen purge system. The blanket would contain 16 layers in two 8-layer sub-blankets. Double-aluminized polyimide 0.3 mil (.0.008 mm) thick was selected as a reflective shield material because of its compatibility with oxygen and its ability to withstand ionizing radiation and high temperature. The inner and outer sub-blanket layers, 1 mil (approximately equals 0.025 mm) and 3 mils (approximately equals 0.076 mm) thick, respectively, would be made of the double-aluminized polyimide reinforced with aramid. The inner and outer layers would provide structural support for the more fragile layers between them and would bear the insulation-to-tank attachment loads. The layers would be spaced apart by lightweight, low-thermal-conductance netting made from polyethylene terephthalate.

The 1992/93 eclipse of 31 Cygni

Extensive new ultraviolet and optical spectra of an atmospheric eclipse define the physical properties throughout the wind and chromosphere of 31 Cyg. These data require mass loss of approximately 3 x 10(exp -8) solar masses/yr in a wind that may merge smoothly into the chromosphere. Considerations of how energy is injected into the wind, however, suggest that the chromosphere and wind are separate structures. Most, if not all, of the velocity structure in metallic lines, which we have heretofore simulated with Doppler widths in the range 15-25 km/s, results from differential expansion of the atmosphere. Electron densities in the inner R(sub star) of the chromosphere are in the range 1.5 x 10(exp 9) - 2 x 10(exp 8)/cu cm, which implies clumping of the gas. The ionization of oxygen and nitrogen is consistent with clumping by factors of 3-30 in the outer chromosphere, roughly the amount required to give enough gas pressure to support the chromosphere. Chromospheric gas in 31 Cyg becomes hotter with increasing height, thus with decreasing optical depth, in a way that seems similar for all the zeta Aur binaries. Excitation temperature for Fe II in 1992/93 rises from about 5000 K at the deepest points sampled to about 12,500 K high in the wind. Strengths of violet Balmer lines give an excitation temperature for hydrogen of 6200-6500 K above a radial mass column density of approximately 0.01 g/sq cm. This amount of excitation implies that Lyman-alpha is thermalized beneath about 4 x 10(exp -3) g/sq cm. The outer atmosphere was symmetrical to within a factor of 2 in 1992/93, although it was clearly variable at this level, and it had similar mass column densities as in 1982. One manifestation of the variability was a flow toward the B star at phases 0.013-0.022 spanning velocities 45-100 km/s. Several lines of evidence point to a complicated and variable ionization in the wind: At large distance from the K star, measured mass column densities are less by up to a factor of 3 than required by a smoothly flowing wind. Also, much of the gas beyond r = 350 solar radii = 1.75 R(sub star) has a negative radial velocity. Radial velocities of the shell lines imply the outer atmosphere rotates in the direction of orbital motion, possibly through the deflection of wind flow lines in this direction.
