FOREWORD

In accordance with the NASA Space Act of 1958 the MSFC has provided for the

widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities

and the results thereof.

Since July 1, 1960, when the George C, Marshall Space Flight Center was organized,

the reporting of scientific and engineering information has been considered a prime responsibility of the Center, Our credo has been that "research and development work is valuable,

but only if its results can be communicated and made understandable to others."

The N number shown for the reports listed are assigned by the NASA Scientific

and Technical Information Facility, Baltimore, Maryland, indicating that the material is

unclassified and unlimited and available for public use. These publications can be purchased from the National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. The N number should be cited when ordering.

Space Processing Applications Rocket

Project SPAR IV Final Report. Compiled by Fred Reeves. N80-19173

The Materials Processing in Space (MPS)

Program is stimulating the scientific use of

the effects of the unique aspects of the space

environment on material processes. The

reduction of the pervasive influences of gravity on Earth-based processes provides opportunities for a basic understanding and improvement in many processes, Initial demonstrations of such scientific principles were

accomplished on Apollo, Skylab, and ApolloSoyuz fights. During the period between

that era and the era of routine orbital space

flight on the Space Shuttle in 'the 1980's,

the Space Processing Applications Rocket

(SPAR) Project is providing the only scientific flight opportunities for experimenters.

The Black Brant rockets which are used

to lift the scientific payload, provide a duration on the order of five minutes of low gravity (coasting) time during the suborbital

flight. SPAR also affords experimenters and

apparatus developers an opportunity to check

out concepts, equipment and procedures

before the Ion eer term and more extensive

flights on the Shuttle. This repgrt describes

the results of SPAR IV, the fourth rocket

flight in a series of nine planned flights.

Previous experiments on the first three

SPAR flights involved the measurement of

liquid mixing due to spacecraft motions and

the dispersion of normally immiscible liquids

in the area of fluid mechanics. In the area of

solidification, experiments were made on the

effects of gravity on dendritic growth, epitaxial growth and the eutectic point of

materials with widely differing densities. In

the area of multiphase particle interaction,

experiments were made on the migration and

coalescence of bubbles and particles, closedcell metal foam and dispersion strengthening

of composites. Finally, in the new area of

containerless processing, an experiment on

the melting and solidification -of Beryllium

in an ele0romagnetic field was accomplished.

The Economics of Project Analysis:

Optimal Investment Criteria and Methods of Study. Marc C. Scriven. Project

Planning Office. N79-34093

The purpose of this study is to provide

hurl^11t toward development of an optimal

program for investment analysis of project

proposals offering commercial potential and

components thereof. This involves a critique

of economic investment criteria viewed in

relation to requirements of engineering

economy analysis. An outline for a systems

approach to project analysis is developed.

Application of the Leontief input-output

methodology to analysis of projects involving

multiple processes and products is investigate t. Effective application of elements of

neoclassical economic theory of investment

analysis of project components is demonstrated. Patterns of both static and dynamic

activity levels are incorporated in the study.

Conceptual Development of the Laser

Beam Manifold (LBM). Warren Campbell and Robert B. Owen. Space Sciences

Laboratory, N80.16322

The Laser Beam Manifold is a new device

for transforming a single, narrow, collimated

beam of light into several beams of desire.l

intensity ratios; e.g,, all of the outgoing beams

might be of the mne intensity, The Laser

Beam Manifold's funcu'oa is similar to that of

a beam splitter, but the Laser Beam Manifold

divides the beam into several rather than only

two beams. The device consists of a single

optical substrate with a metallic coating on

both optical surfaces. By changing the entry

pnint, the number of outgoing beams can be

varied.

Radiative and Free Convective Heat

Transfer from a Containerless Sphere.

Karen JohnFun. Space Sciences Laboratory. N80-11377

A mathematical model is derived for

heat loss dne to radiation and free convection

for a small copper sphere (approximately 0.3

to 0.4 cm diameter) cooled by a helium-argon

gas mixture. A FORTRAN program written

to simplify calculations and extend the range

of applicability to experimentation is presented. Pressures used were less than 400 totr,

and resulting temperatures ranged from 500

to 4600 K. Comparison of results for initial

cooling by the gas mixture with experimental

data showed a 5 percent error for temperature

values and a 2.7 percent error for the

temperature difference caused by the cooling.

Accuracy could be increased significantly by

using better estimates for thermal conductivities.

The Maxi-Theita S-101 is a thermosyphon liquid-to-air heat exchanger fir use

in heating systems in residential singlefamily dwellings and small commercial applications. It is a pumpless heating module

which, when attached to a water storage tank,

comprises a self contained heating unit. Electric resistance heating elements can be installed in the storage tank to provide a backup

or off-peak heating system.

At the completion of the development

contract, Sigma Research obtained certificates from professional engineers and test

laboratories that the Maxi-Therm S-101 meets

or exceeds performance specifications, performance criteria and applicable standards

and codes.

A Computer Program for Assessing the

Economic Feasibility of Solar Energy

for Single-Family Residences and Light

Commercial Applications. J. Alan Forney, David Walker, and Mile' Lanier.

Cost Analysis Office. N80-14501

The technical feasibility of utilizing

solar energy to meet domestic. space heating

and hot water loads for single family residences and light commercial applications has

been clearly demonstrated. However, the

economic feasibility is a complex problem

requiring subjective judgments of the future

value of key economic parameters, particularly conventional fuel escalation rates.

In simplest terms, the prospective installer

must decide whether he is willing to spend

money now (to install a solar heating system) in order to save rroney later (lowered

conventional fuel bills in the future).

This report describes a computer program (SHCOST) used to perform economic

analyses of the Operational Test Sites managed for DOE by MSFC as part of the National Solar Heating and Cooling Development

Program. The computer program is user

oriented and allows consideration of only the

economic parameters which are important to

the user problem. A life cycle cost and cash

flow comparison is made between a solar

heating system and a conventional system,

The program assists in sizing the solo heating

system. A sensitivity study and plot capability

allow the :user to select the most cost effective

system configuration.

Torque Equilibrium Attitude Control

for Skylab Reentry. John R. iGlaese and

Hans F. Kennel. Systems Dynamics

Laboratory. N80-14169

Deliberate relocation of the Skylab footprint (to lower the chances of injury or

damage) required controlling to a high-drag

and a low-drag attitude (with a transition

capability from one to the other at any time)

to an altitude below 150 km (80 n.mi.).

However, the Skylab attitude control

system was designed for holding a solar inertial attitude (temporary Earth-pointing was

possible at the expense of cold-gas thruster

fuel) at an altitude (435 km or 235 n.mi.)

where the gravity gradient torques were predominant and the aerodynamic torques were

practically negligible.

To control Skylab to below 150 km

(where the aerodynamic torques were 10

times higher than the gravity gradient torques), without the use of thruster fuel (once

the attitude was established), required the

design, development, and software implementation of a completely new method: Active

seeking of a torque equilibrium attitude.

ohm-cm and BSR 2 ohm-cm, manufactured

by Optical Coating Laboratories, Inc., have

been evaluated for their low temperature

and low intensity performance,. Sixteen cells

of each type were subjected to ten temperatures and nine intensities. The BSF/BSR 10

ohm-cm cells provided the best performance

at I solar constant and +25°C with an efficiency of 14..1 percent while the BSR 2 ohmcm cells had the highest low temperature

and low intensity performance with an

efficiency of 22.2 percent at 0.04 solar

constant and -170°C and the most consistent

cell-to-cell characteristics.

The Stratigraphic Sequence of Volcanic

and Sedimentary Units in the North

Polar Region of Mars. Michael E. Botts.

Space Sciences Laboratory,

N80-17004

Based on photogeologic mapping of

Viking Orbiter images of Mars, four distinct

informal stratigraphic units can be defined

for the region north of 70°N latitude. They

are: (a) bulbous plains, (b) mantled plains,

(c) dune deposits, and (d) layered deposits/

perennial ice.

The bulbous plains unit underlies all

other north polar units and represents a subunit of the mottled cratered plains, Based on

crater size•frequency data, bulbous plains are

equivalent in age to the relatively old cratered

plains unit at Tempe Plateau (90°W, 30°N).

The low albedo of bulbous plains and the

appearance of what appears to be it dike

suggest that bulbous plains has a volcanic

origin, Cumulative crater size-frequency dis

tribu,,ion functions for bulbous and mantled

plains display two-segment curves with a

crater-production slope of -2,0 and a crater

ir.g-obliteration equilibrium slope of -0.7.

This supports the interprel,ation that mantled

plains were formed by deist blanketing of

bulbous plains. As calculated from crater

size-frequency distribution functions, the

relative surface-obliteration rates are 1:9:88

for bulbous, moderately mantled, and heavily

mantled plains, respectively.

The layered deposits probably represent

it of mantled plains in which dust has

been d-zposited onto the perennial ice cap

rather than directly onto the ground. Thus,

the areal extent of the layered deposits at the

north and south poles may indicate the manimum extent of the perennial ice caps as controlled by changes in Martian orbital parameters.

Dune deposits occur in the form of

longitudinal, transverse, and barchan dunes,

and possibly as sheet sand deposits. Actual

dunes are generally confined to mantled

plains, suggesting that mantling provides a

proper substratum for dune accumulation.

Surface winds for the north polar region

were determined from dune orientations to

flow predominantly counterclockwise around

the polar cap, although there is evidence for

dune modification by secondary winds

spiralling clockwise off of the cap.

A gradation front densely spaced transverse dunes to more dispersed barchan and

circumpolar dune deposits downwind of ex

author ouggests that dune material is being

stripped from bulbous plains and is accumulating as dunes downwind on mantled plains.

Stress Corrosion Cracking Evaluation of

Martensitic Prei^ipitation Hardening

Stainless Steels, T. S. Humphries and

E. E. Nelson. Materials and Processes

Laboratory, N80.1.6142

This report gives the results of a contprehensive investigation of the stress corrosion

cracking resistance of the martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steels PH 13.8Mo,

15.5I1H, and 17.4PH. Round tensile and

c-ring type specimens taken from several

heats of the three alloys were stressed up to

100 percent of their yiHd strengths and

exposed to alternate immersion in salt water,

to salt spray, and to a reacoast environment,

The results indicate that 15-SPH is highly

resistant to stress corrosion cracking in conditions H1000 and H1050 and is moderately

resistant in condition H900. The stress corrosion cracking resistance of PH13 .8Mo and

17.4PH stainless steels in conditions 1­11000

and H1050 was sensitive to mill heats and

ranged from low to high among the several

heats included in the tests. Based on a comparison with data from seacoast environmental tests, it is apparent that alternate

immersion in 3.5 percent salt water is not a

suitable medium for accelerated stress corrosion testing of these PH stainless steels.

Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Rooster

Cost-Per-Flight Analysis Technique, J.

Alan Forney. Systems Analysis and

Integration Laboratory. N80-171.33

The National Aeronautics and Space

Administration Space Shuttle is designed as a

lost cost payload delivery system to Earth

orbit. Each Shuttle launch consists of the

payload carrying Orbiter, an expendable

External Tank and two reusable Solid Rocket

Boosters. Low cost-per-flight is a major Space

Shuttle program goal. The Solid Rocket

Booster is the most expensive recurring cost

element of the reusable space transportatiot.,

system. Periodic replacement of damaged or

worn-out SRB components is necessary to

maintain an adequate inventory to sustain

the projected 500-flight, 12-year traffic

model. Determining new SRB hardware

requirements and the associated costs requires

consideration of: traffic model, component

attrition, hardware useful life, turnaround

time for refurbishment, manufacturing rates,

learning curves on the time to perform tasks,

cost improvement curves on quantity hardware buys, inflation, spares philosophy, long

lead hardware funding requirements and other

logistics and scheduling constraints. A Cost.

Per-Flight computer model is described

which considers these factors and is used at

Marshall Space Flight Center for operations

planning and budgeting. Additional uses of

the model include assessing the cost-per-flight

impact of changing major Space Shuttle program parameters and searching for opportunities to make cost effective management

decisions.

Infrared Scanner Concept Verification

Test Report. F. D, Bachtel. Structures

and Propulsion Laboratory.

N80.18367

This document presents the test results

from a conwApt verification test program

conducted to assess the use of an Infrared

Scanner as a remote temperature sensing

device for the Space Shuttle program. The

Infrared Scanner would be used during prelaunch operations to determine the surface

temperature of the External Tank, which contains the cryogenic propellants for the Shuttle

Main Engines, The surface of the External

Tank is a Spray On Roam Insulation (SOFT)

used to thermally insulate the tank and control boiloff of the cryogenic propellants,

Under certain weather conditions ice or frost

accumulations are likely on the insulation

surface, the temperature of which can be

significantly below freezing. The tn£μared

Scanner would be used to asses, vo -hle

ice/frost accumulations by mappin4 iii, y3111-

lation surface temperature to detect freezing

areas on the tank, The subject test program

was conducted during the Fall of 1979 to

determine the feasibility of this concept.

A total of 127 tests were performed using a

typical 8 to 12 micron. Infrared Scanner and

simulated External Tank surfaces, Areas of

investigation included temperature and geometric resolution limits, atmospheric attenuation effects including conditions with fog and

rain, and the problem of surface emissivity

variations. It was concluded that the basic

concept of using an Infrared Scanner to

determine near freezing surface temperatures

is feasible. The major problem identified was

concerned with Infrared reflections which

can result in significant errors if not controlled. Action taken to manage these errors

will likely result in design and operational

constraints to control the viewing angle and

surface emissivity. The contents of this

report are intended to aid and guide future

implementation of this concept,

Emergency Relief Venting of the Infrared Telescoptt Liquid Helium Dewar.

Eugene W. Urban, Space Sciences Laboratory, N80-21724

An analysis is made of the emergency

relief venting of the liquid helium dewar of

the Spacelah 2 Infrared Telescope experiment in the event of a massive failure of the

dewar guard vacuum. Such a failure, resulting

from a major accident, could cause rapid

heating and pressurization of the liquid

helium in the dewar and lead to relief venting

through the emergency relief system. This

report estimates the heat input from an accident for various fluid conditions in the dewar

and lead to relief venting through the emergency relief system. This report estimates the

heat input from an accident for various fluid

conditions in the dewar and considers this

relief process as it takes place through one or

both of the emergency relief paths. It is

shown that under all reasonable circumstances

the dewar will safely relieve itself, and the

pressure will not exceed 85 percent of the

proof pressure or 63 percent of the burst

pressure.

Convection flows were systematically

observed in a layer of fluid between two isothermal horizontal boundaries. The working

fluid was a nematic liquid crystal, which

exhibits a liquid-liquid phase change at which

latent heat is released and the density

changed. In addition to ordinary RayleighBenard convection when either phase is

present alone, there exist two distinct types

of convective motions initiated by the unstable Aensity difference. When a thin layer of

heavy fluid is present near the top boundary,

hexagons with downgoing centers exist with

no imposed thermal gradient. When a thin

kept going once they are initiated by the

instability due to release of latent heat. Relation of the results to applicable theories is

that at certain temperatures strong wall

resonances are generated within the processing chamber itself and that these transverse

A comprehensive analysis is presented of

the wave structures of the Eady model of

baroclinic instability. By solving the linear

quasi-geostropluc set of equations pe.~tinent

to the Eady model, the complex eigenvalues

and the eigenfunctions are obtained, The

propagation speed and the growth rate are

computed, Detailed quantitative information

is provided about the wave structures for

several unstable modes, a marginally stable

mode, and a stable mode, The peculiarities

concerning the amplitude and the phase

variations of the waves are noted as the wavenumber varies from the unstable region to

the stable region. Physical interpretations of

the interrelationships among the dynamical

variables are given, with a view toward revealing important aspects of the energy transfer

from the basic state to the growing waves.

Barochnic Instability with Variable Gravity — A Perturbation Analysis. Albert

C. Giere, William W. Fowlis, and Salvador Arias. Space Sciences Laboratory.

N80-15445

Solutions are obtained for a quasi

geostrophic baroclinic ; tability problem in

which gravity is a function of height. Curvature and horizontal shear of the basic state

flow are omitted and the vertical and horizontal temperature gradients of the basic

state are taken as constant. The primary

motivation of this work was to determine

the effect of a variable dielectric body force,

analogous to gravity, on baroclinic instability

for the design of a spherical, baroclinic model

for Spacelab. Such modeling cannot be performed in a laboratory on the Earth's surface

because the body force cannot be made

strong enough to dominate terrestrial gravity. A consequence of the body force variation and the preceding assumptions is that the

potential vorticity gradient of the basic state

vanishes, The problem is solved using a perturbation method. The solution gives results

which are qualitatively similar to iEady's

results for constant gravity; a short wavelength cutoff and a wavelength of maximum

growth rate are observed. Based on averaged

values of the basic state, both the wavelength

range of the instability and the growth rate at

maximum instability are increased. The conclusion is that the presence of the variable

body force will not significantly alter the

dynamics of the Spacelab experiment. The

solutions are also relevant to other geophysical fluid flows where gravity is constant but

the static stability or Brunt-Vaisala frequency

is a function of height.

shape and linear growth rate of ice crystals

was examined as a function of the ambient

temperature, the ambient supersaturation and

the forced ventilation velocity. The ambient

growth conditions were varied over the range

of temperature 0°C to 4WC, over the range

of supersaturation 4% to 50% with respect to

ice, i.e., over vapor density excesses ranging

from 0.07 g m-3 to 0.7 g m'3 , and over the

range of forced ventilation velocities 0 cm s"

to 20cmxl,

It is shown that the introduction of a

ventilation velocity ' is roughly equivalent to

increasing the ambient supersaturation, For a

fixed ambient temperature and ambient

supersaturation, the linear 'a'-axis growth

rate is directly proportional to the square

root of the ventilation velocity, as theory

predicts, provided the crystal shape does not

change significantly. The transitions plate - ►

dendrite and column -+ needle occur at a

lower ambient supersaturation as the ventilation velocity increases. A definite time constant, which is a function of the ambient

temperature, the ambient supersaturation and

the magnitude of the change in the ventilation

velocity, exists for the transition of both

crystal shape and linear growth rate following

a change in the ventilation velocity. For

increasing ventilation velocities at a fixed

ambient supersaturation the maximum in the

linear growth rate near -15°C apparently

occurs at successively colder temperatures.

Over the temperature range -4°C to -6°C

growth occurs along a direction up to 250

from the `c'-axis as the local supersaturation

is increased. Thus, under the proper temperature conditions a change in the local

supersaturation can induce a change, not only

in the absolute growth rates, but also in the

relative growth rates along the `a' and `c'-

evaporated as they approached a growing ice

crystal and crystal growth was entirely by

vapor diffusion.

The first vapor grown discoid ice crystals

were observed. They grew in the temperature

regime -5°C to -7°C at low local supersaturations, i.e,, in the regime formerly believed to

only support nearly equiaxed columns.

Results from these experiments are interpreted in terms of diffusion through a local

boundary layer whose thickness is a function

of ventilation velocity, the diffusivity of

water vapor and heat through air, and the

crystal shape; and interaction with different

nucleation and growth kinetics on different

surfaces. Two-dimensional nucleation and

layer growth from corners or edges is believed

to occur at ambient supersaturstions significantly lower than present theories would

predict. At low supersaturation and temperature the crystal habit and growth may be

controlled by the presence of defects sometimes giving rise to crystals of habit opposite

to that normally observed.

Release Mechanism for Releasing and

Reattaching Experiments on the Space

Shuttle, A. V. Clark. Structures and

Propulsion Laboratory. N80.27694

The Release Mechanism (REM) uniatches an experiment so that it can be moved

about inside and outside the Shuttle bay by

the remote manipulator system (RMS) then

reattaches it to the, REM base. With the REM

being operated from the crew compartment

after the RMS has been attached to the experiment, the REM releases the experiment by

an electric motor driving a gear train and linkage which extracts ,four pins from holes in

four plates. Electrical connectors on the REM

are disengaged by the mechanical action of

the structural pins retracting from the plates.

In the presence of 10 μm mean diameter

droplets with concentrations of 103 to 101

90% of the growth of both ice crystal columns and dendrites at ventilation velocities

of 15 cm s7'. However, even at higher velocities the most extensively rimed crystals

still retained the original orientation of their

crystalline axes. At velocities less than 1.0

When the REM releases the experiment,

an unlatched indicator is actuated in the crew

compartment, and then the experiment can

be. moved by using the RMS.

To reattach the experiment to the REM,

the RMS places the experiment. with REM

attachment angles against the flat, smooth

surface of the REM; then the RMS hove$

the, experiment into position for latchup.

Locating the experiment for reattachment

might be analogous to finding the corner

of a room in the dark when you are standing

on the floor and walk to a wall, then follow

the wall to a corner at (another wall).

When the REM is in the "corner" ready

to be latched, indications in the crew compartment show the experiment position

relative to the REM. Actuation of an electric

motor drives the four pins into the four holes

in the plates, When fully latched, a switch

actuated by the motion of the linkage, shuts

the electric me for off and gives an indication

to the crew compartment that the REM is

latched,
