Thermoelectric coolers, being solid state devices, have no moving parts which makes them inherently reliable and ideal for cooling components in a system sensitive to mechanical vibration. The ability to use TECs to heat as well as cool makes them suitable for applications requiring temperature stabilization of a device over a specified temperature range. Although these devices have been around for years, they are gaining popularity in the aerospace industry for providing temperature control within optical systems and for loop heat pipes.</p> <p>Historically, modeling and sizing of thermoelectric coolers was left to the analyst to work off-line from the modeling task. The analyst would then need to create his own logic in SINDA for simulating the cooler. This presenation will demonstrate how thermoelectric coolers are now easily modeled using off-the-shelf simulation routines and 3D user interfaces. The analytical demonstration includes sizing of a cooler for a specific application based on area, temperature requirements and heat load through a series of parametric analyses. Cooler performance will also be characterized at the device and system level.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-vnd-ms-powerpoint file--x-office-presentation"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/ModelingAndSizingTECs_0.pps" type="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint">ModelingAndSizingTECs.pps</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">Aerospace Thermal Control Workshop</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Jane Baumann</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:33:31 +0000 bfc-admin 1208 at https://www.crtech.com WPI Nanosat-3 Final Report, PANSAT -

Specifically, we proposed to have WPI undergraduate and graduate student teams under the direct guidance of WPI faculty, develop a nanosat that would be used as a vehicle to investigate:</p> <ul> <li>A GPS based navigation and orientation determination system</li> <li>the use of a powder metallurgy (P/M) component design methods to develop the primary satellite bus structure</li> </ul> <p>Program highlights include the successful development of; i) a high quality satellite tracking and communications system, ii) powder metallurgy components of the satellite bus structure, iii) the sensor and communications subsystem, iv) the triple modular redundant processor system, v) the GPS navigation and orientation system, vi) a very high reliability and efficiency solar cell power system using custom designed switching power supplies, and vii) the satellite navigation/stability system. Also completed in conjunction with this NS3 program was a detailed MATLAB/Simulink model of the orbital mission. Finally, completed in parallel with the NS3 program but not supported by it was a prototype Picosat that built upon technology developed as part of the NANOSAT 3 program.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT

The plume expansion into ambient atmosphere is simulated using an axisymmetric space-time conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) Euler code, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The thermal analysis including both convection and radiation heat transfers from the hot gas inside the engine nozzle and gas radiation from the plume is performed using Thermal Desktop. Three SM configurations, Lockheed Martin (LM) designed 604, 605, and 606 configurations, are considered. Design of multilayer insulation (MLI) for the stowed solar arrays, which is subject to plume heating from the main engine, among the passive thermal control system (PTCS), are proposed and validated.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/TFAWS07-1012_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">TFAWS07-1012.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">TFAWS</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Xiao-Yen J.

A design with the inclusion of a Composite Pressure Vessel (CPV) has been assessed for its thermal response. The temperature distribution on the CPV that results from the heat produced by internal spacecraft systems and external space environments was calculated as part of a project-level assessment to understand thermomechanical stresses. A finite element translation of the crew module CPV was integrated into an existing CEV Thermal Math Model (TMM) based on the 605 baseline configuration and analyzed for four orbital cases. Steady state temperature profiles were generated based on orbit average heating. Preliminary thermal analysis results suggest that the CPV requires less make-up energy when compared to the baseline aluminum pressure vessel. It is emphasized that only local make-up energy was considered in the study. The make-up energy did not include the zoning configuration that occurs with heaters. This document presents the approach and assumptions used for this thermal assessment.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/TFAWS-08-1007_presentation_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">TFAWS-08-1007_presentation.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">TFAWS</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Laurie Y.

The satellite launched in November 2010 on a Minotaur IV rocket from the Kodiak Launch Complex in Kodiak, Alaska. It carried three Earth science experiments and two technology demonstrations into a low Earth circular orbit with an inclination of 72° and an altitude of 650 kilometers. The mission has been successful to date with science experiment activities still taking place daily. The thermal control system on this spacecraft was a passive design relying on thermo-optical properties and six heaters placed on specific components. Flight temperature data is being recorded every minute from the 48 Resistance Temperature Devices (RTDs) onboard the satellite structure and many of its avionics boxes. An effort has been made to correlate the thermal math model to the flight temperature data using Cullimore and Ring's Thermal Desktop and by obtaining Earth and Sun vector data from the Attitude Control System (ACS) team to create an “as-flown” orbit. Several model parameters were studied during this task to understand the spacecraft's sensitivity to these changes. Many “lessons learned” have been noted from this activity that will be directly applicable to future small satellite programs.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/TFAWS2011-PT-008_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">TFAWS2011-PT-008.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">TFAWS</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Callie McKelvey</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:25:26 +0000 bfc-admin 1196 at https://www.crtech.com Improvements to a Response Surface Thermal Model for Orion https://www.crtech.com/improvements-response-surface-thermal-model-orion <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Improvements to a Response Surface Thermal Model for Orion</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--uid--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--uid.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--uid.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'username' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/user/username.html.twig' --> <span lang="" about="/user/1" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">bfc-admin</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/user/username.html.twig' --> </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--publication-files.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2015-07-15T16:24:48-04:00" title="Wednesday, July 15, 2015 -

For example, a small scale satellite, such as the CubeSat, can now be used for scientific research in space rather than big scale project like the International Space Station (ISS). Recently a team of undergraduate and graduate students at SJSU has the opportunity to collaborate on designing and building a miniature size CubeSat with the dimension of 10x10x10 cm. Although the integration of compact electronics allows sophisticated scientific experiments and missions to be carried out in space, the thermal control options for such small spacecraft are limited. For example, because of its small size there is no room for dedicated radiator or insulation panels. To minimize mass of the thermal control system while keeping the electronics at safe operating conditions, this thesis aims at studying the external orbital radiation heat flux the CubeSat is expected to expose to and the steady state heat conduction of the internal electronics. If the operating temperature from these heating conditions causes issue, appropriate thermal control solutions will be presented.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/Dihn.S12_0.pdf" type="application/pdf">Dihn.S12.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">San José State University</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Dai Q.

More importantly, they can be used as an imaginary film to subdivide quasi-stagnant control volumes, extending the reach of a 1D network into certain 2D and 3D problems.</p> <p>Despite their abstract nature, ifaces have been well received by analysts for a variety of modeling tasks.</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-upload-files--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-upload-files.html.twig * field--file.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-upload-files field--type-file field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Upload Files</div> <div class="field__item"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'file_link' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="/sites/default/files/publications/ifaces.pdf" type="application/pdf">ifaces.pdf</a></span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/field/file-link.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-source--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-source.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-source.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Source</div> <div class="field__item">AIAA</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--publication-files.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--publication-files.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/crtechd9/templates/classy/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-inline clearfix"> <div class="field__label">Author</div> <div class="field__item">Brent A.
