CMP: Okay. Stand by for a zero. 3, 2, 1 -
CMP: The camera's looking okay?
CMP: Okay. You don't want to watch me fill that pan again, huh? You don't want to watch me fill the pan again.
CMP: Okay. I'm with you. Actually, I've already cleaned out the - the little area there. Oh, okay.
CMP: Well, we'11 start at 2 minuteS.
CMP: Well, now all of the little metal chips in there are parallel to the YY axis. TIME SKiP
CMP: They're still on the front face of the lineal cell.
CDR: Is something bothering you there?
CDR: (Sneeze) ...
CDR: How many of those do you have, Jack? Three all together?
CDR: Now, wait a minute. You wore one. You putting on a clean one now? And you got another one in here? Four clean ones altogether? Is that right? Okay.
CDR: What 's happening, Ron.
CMP: Well, the cells are changing. TIME SKIP
CDR: Where have you been?
CDR: ... back together. TIME SKIP
CMP: Okay, Houston, The DAC is OFF now.
CMP: ... Go ahead, Houston.
CMP: Okay. No problem. Good idea.
CMP: Affirmative; okay.
CMP: Okay. I opened the flow about four turns, a little bit is running out - there's one big bubble in it. And I still had a little bit left over, even though I wiped it out pretty good awhile ago. The meniscus is up to the bottom ring and I think if we put in eight things in there where it's going to try to get the meniscus up to the top baffle. Is that correct? TIME SKIP
CMP: Well, there must have been a few more bubbles down in there again. That was two turns now, and I've got it about half full all the way across. But maybe there's Just about eight or 10 bubbles in it.
CMP: Okay. I guess we're recording on the DSE here. In case we don't have you, we're still recording on the DSE. That's three turns. The fluid is essentially about two-thirds of the way across it. What?
CMP: It's running, isn't it? The DSE is running, isn't it?
CDR: It should be. Tap_ 17-03412 and
CMP: It should be, if you slow it down a little bit. Now it's filled all the way across. Looks like we got about nine bubbles in there, so far. We're still going on the fir - fourth turn now and it still developes a meniscus around the lower baffle - the smaller baffle. TIME SKIP
CMP: Okay. Looks like about six of the bubbles de- veloped into three, for some reason.
CMP: Oh - oh. It was doing real well there. Then on the seventh turn, a bunch of bubbles came in again.
CMP: Okay. You want the DAC on when it starts heating up. That's what you're saying, right?
CMP: Okay. You know - I may have lost track of the turns here, but I think we've got 7-1/2 or 6-1/2 turns in here. And it still hasn't overflown that first lower baffle. I've got a tremendous concave - convex surface on the fluid, but it still hasn't broken the meniscus on the first bas - baffle.
CMP: Okay. We're going ahead and take it another turn, because it's my understanding we wanted to try to get it into the second baffle, anyhow. So, we'11 take another turn of Krytox and put some more in there.
CMP: (Laughter) Okay. I'm afraid it will be all over the place if I do that, but I'11 try it.
CMP: ... try ...
CDR: Had one somewhere.
CMP: That was mine.
CDR: Nobody ever ...
CMP: Ah-ha. OnCe you get it started around there it really goes all the way around. Okay. We got her in the Second baffle. That takes some of the concaveness out of the - convexness out of the film, so I'11 go ahead and turn the camera off and then start it again when the time comes,
CMP: Okay. 3, 2, 1-
CMP: MARK it. That starts.
CMP: There you go, Jack. If you get the chance, you might want to use the Nikon there and get a picture ...
CDR: Want to hand me the ...
CDR: Want the attitude ...
CMP: Yes, so kind of get the ...
CDR: ... background.
CMP: Yes. Switch the
CMP: This one is going to be interesting. There are about a dozen, nine to a dozen - small bubbles right next to the inject board and then about the same number right in the center of the convex portion of it.
CMP: No, I didn't get to your question on that. In the lineal unit there are no bubbles whatsoever. And there might have been very slight movement. Matter of fact, I can see Just a very slight movement, even now. The particles in there; they're still lined up in the YY direction essentially though, although it looks like some of them may have de- viated from the front of the lineal unit back toward the center or toward the back of the lineal unit, as you call it. TIME SKIP
CMP: Well_ I missed the 2-minute start time, but I can keep track of it here. So, we'11 start the DAC, and then I'11 turn this to LOW at 02:45.
CDR: Squat down a little bit and I'11 get you -
CMP: And you still get this thing.
CDR: Well, when you do you really shake it up.
CMP: Okay. You know, Just for future references here if we like to do things in zero g and without Jarring or jiggling, we want to make s_re that the switch actuates with a minimum of pressure.
LMP: (Laughter) The camera, too, you might mention. I think the camera is Jiggling a little ... shutter ...
LMP: You want to leave it on?
CMP: You have enough light to get that thing?
CMP: Should be. I hope.
CMP: What frame was that?
LMP: ... frame.
CMP: Okay. That's Just now starting to develop. Looks like circular cells, great big ones. And then some of the big ones are subdividing now.
CMP: The bigger ones are even - some of them are even getting bigger. One of them is - oh, about three- quarters of an inch in diameter, and it hasn't _ivided yet, at all.
LMP: 26 and 27.
CMP: Okay. Frame 26 on the - -
LMP: 26 and 27 ...
CMP: Okay. Fr_e 27 was taken in elapsed time of about 4 minutes. I Just took one of your nose.
CMP: Stu, this is Jack. I was taking the pictures. I took four pictures about 20 seconds apart - of the sequence Just after he started it. And that ended with - or started with frame 26.
CMP: Okay. That one cell I spoke of that was about three-quarters of an inch in diameter now is about an inch long and maybe three-quarters of an inch wide. Each -All of the cells seem to be bigger, in general. They're bigger this time, so two small ones about an eighth of an inch and - along one side. The other one is a half-inch, a half-inch - oh, a quarter of an inch, half-inch, and then a circular when you get around the out s - out - annulus of the cup. Then you start getting cir- cular sides instead of straight sides. All of the flow comes from a little center spot and flows outward from the center toward the outside of the cells. No, in this case all of the bubbles have disappeared, except two.
CDR: JaCk, ... over there where you were.
CMP: The longest cell we see is a four-sided one - - TIME SKIP
CMP: ... diamond. And it's an eighth of an inch on one side, an eighth of an inch on the other side, and maybe B/16 on the other two sides.
CMP: Yes, we're moving something close.
LMP: At any rate, frame number 31 - frame number 31 and frames 24 and 25 show orientation of the experiment.
CMP: And for information the first half of the experi- ment, we - orientation was 90 degrees from this one. (Laughter) The lineal cell was on the right, and the lineal cell was aligned with the XX axis.
CMP: Okay. Something is a little different on this one here. Right at the top of the flow circle, it looks just like a finger. It's a curved sur- face that goes out and almost touches the - the circ_:mference of the dish. And it looks just like your - if holding up your finger and looking at it. It's that type of a shape to it. It comes back down, and it's about a half inch wide· The flow again emanates from a source that is almost on the fingertip, you might say.
CMP: Okay. Somehow, that fingertip finally touched the complete circumference, and the tip of the finger disappeared.
CMP: Okay. My - my small a - one-eighth inch - one-eighth of an inch sided diamond joined with another one, now, and one side of the diamond is gone. I still have three sides of the diamond and the fourth side of the diamond, or the upper right-hand corner of the diamond, you might say, has disappeared and goes on with another little square - or rectangle. One - one end of the rec- 3/16 tangle is about of an inch long; the other two sides are about three-eighths of an inch long.
CMP: There are almost - no, it's almost in the center. Towards the center. Almost in the center. On the left edge, as you look at the piece of equipment, as you're looking at it, there are absolutely no - - TIME SKIP
CMP: - - patterns at all. There is a flow. You can see a stream of flow. Whoops. When I get up there and start looking at it, and I blew on it when I was talking. You can see a stream flow from the circumference toward the outer group of cells. The outer group of cells is at least - half an inch from the circl,m_erence, though, at that point.
LMP: Do you get the impression that there's a general migration of cells to the right or down? Like those two that are touching there in the upper part seem to stretch.
CMP: Stretch down in there? · ..
CMP: Yes. I think there's a general migration of - of the cells. Kind of toward the bottom of the circle, if you want to look at it that way. They seem to be stretching kind of in that direction, too.
CMP: The first thing - -
CMP: No, toward the plus Y, as you're looking at it. Now, I'm trying to make all directions, with re- spect to the right-side-up of the equipment, you know.
LMP: Are the chips going the same way?
CMP: And, the first finger I talked about was at 12 o'clock. It has Joined the edge now and almost disappeared. The second finger was - still essentially the way it was - is getting slightly closer to the edge. There's maybe - oh, less than 1/32 of an inch between the tip of the finger and the edge, and it goes out at - at 2 o'clock. Okay. From 3 o'clock on around to about 7 o'clock, the cells - It's in a shadow, and I can't see for sure if they're touching the edge or not, but it looks like they're probably essentially touching - sk - the edge.
CMP: In a little bit. That's all right.
CMP: And then from 7 o'clock on around to 12 o'clock again, none of the cells are touching the edge at all. And they're - oh, on the average of three- eighths of an inch from the outside circumference.
CDR: e.,
CMP: That's verified. It's up to the second baffle.
CMP: All I had to do was start it in one position, and as soon as I started it - started it in one posi- tion, it whipped all the way around it. From the point I started it, it went all the way around in both directions.
CC: Okay. That sounds beautiful ....
CMP: Yes. Right. I think in the low flow here, evidently, things even a little bit slower than they were in the high rate - in the high - in the high heat rate. But a little diamond, now, is almost Joined with the rectangle. And I think given half a chance, it's tending to go into another five-sided figure.
CMP: 17 - Just about enough time. Let's see ....
LMP: We have those stream lines coming from the left of - of the ...
CMP: Yes. You'd better go too. Let's see, it's 17, 18 - TIME SKIP
CMP: We started to move your switch without jiggling things. (Laughter )
CDR: We what ?
CMP: And we started the cooldown at 18:40 on the watch.
CMP: Okay. As we we're cooling down, the flow patterns tend to Join together, so far. The ones on the outer periphery dissolve into straight lines. Straight lines em - emanating in a radial direc- tion from the center of the circle.
CMP: Okay. I got a little bit of film left here with ... high.
CDR: Digital timer.
CMP: I don't know if he found that or not. I guess I can't sleep with it.
CMP: My back is sore from sleeping underneath.
CDR: B ack ? And,
CMP: Houston, if you're listening; or DSE, if you're listening. Had a little bit of film - oop, there's the end of film right now. May as well stop it. Hey, I went to HIGH for a little ws_s.
CMP: Well, I still had a little bit of film when the cooldown -the 2-minute cooldown period was left, so I went back to HIGH on the FLOW PATTERN just to see what would happen. And it looked like they were starting out with - - TIME SKIP
CMP: - - larger-sized cells developing into smaller ones. And, initially, all of the cells were about a half an inch in diameter, and they were closer to the periphery of the dish than they were in the LOW FLOW position. ### (This page Unclassified) Tape kT-0340B APOLLO__ MISSION DOE CM DUMPED OVER aDS DURING T_A_SL_ COAST Time Segments.

LMP: Okay; the first flash is fairly important. ... Delta-T starts at then. Any subtle glows, clouds, or halos alone or with other events? Any apparent propagation? They want you to think, if you can, how long was its fraction of visual field? How sharp or diffuse?
