RISTwo-Dimensional Model of a Space Station Freedom Thermal Energy Storage Canister
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Solar Dynamic Power Module being developed for Space Station Freedom uses a eutectic mixture of LiF-CaF2 phase-change salt contained in toroidal canisters for thermal energy storage. This ...
Solar Dynamic Modules for Space Station Freedom: The Relationship Between Fine-Pointing Control and Thermal Loading of the Aperture Plate: Part II—Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The analytical approaches developed in a companion paper (Part I) were used to quantify the relationship between fine-pointing control and thermal loading of the aperture plate. Dynamic simulations ...
Solar Dynamic Modules for Space Station Freedom: The Relationship Between Fine-Pointing Control and Thermal Loading of the Aperture Plate: Part I—Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic equations for the simulation of Space Station Freedom configured with solar dynamic (SD) power modules are developed. The formulation permits the structure to be subjected to shuttle ...
Thermodynamic Analysis of Space Solar Dynamic Heat Receivers with Cyclic Phase Change
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A physical and thermodynamic model of space solar dynamic heat receivers employing solid-liquid phase change storage is developed. Generalized first and second law efficiencies are defined for ...
