Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUnveiling the Future: A Survey of Electric Propulsion Systems and their Pivotal Role in Shaping the Next Frontier of Space ExplorationJinadu Abdulbaqi, Okikijesu Omolona Olajide, Ayodeji Tunde AkangbeElectric propulsion represents the future of space travel, which is a promising technology for Earth-orbital and deep space missions, including potential applications in human Mars missions. The past decade has witnessed substantial progress in the conceptualization and experimentation of electric thrusters and their propellants, signaling a transformative era in space exploration. This review provides an overview of the comparison between … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2024 · 6,851 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA Started a Propeller set on Board Voyager 1 After 37 Years of BreakRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella et al.If you try to start a car that has been in the garage for decades, you expect the engine not to respond. But a set of propellers onboard the NASA Voyager 1 spacecraft was launched on Wednesday, November 29, 37 years after its last use without any problems. Voyager 1 is the only man-made object that has arrived in interstellar … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2017 · 8,907 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINVESTIGATION STUDIES ON SUB-COOLING OF CRYOGENIC LIQUIDS USING HELIUM INJECTION METHODT. Ramesh, K. ThyagarajanIn cryogenic propellants, the sub-cooling of cryogenic propellants contained in tanks is an important and effective method for bringing down the lift-off mass of launch vehicle and thus the performance of the rocket engine is greatly improved. This study presents the technical and experimental studies conducted on cryogenic liquids such as Liquid Oxygen, Liquid Nitrogen and Liquid Hydrogen using helium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 10 Feb 2014 · 6,805 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComposition-Explicit Distillation Curves of Waste Lubricant Oils and Resourced Crude Oil: A Diagnostic for Re-Refining and EvaluationLisa Starkey Ott, Beverly L. Smith, Thomas J. BrunoProblem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a composition-explicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved with a sampling approach that allows precise qualitative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,106 accessesView PDF Cite
