AAE450 Spring 2009 Communication Equipment has a Max Temperature of 313 K, keep at 303 K as a factor of safety Keep Lander Operating Temperature around 293 K Similar Thermal Control as the OTV –Area of Plate : 0.1 m^2 –Aluminum (Al) thermal conductivity : 236 W/(m*K) –Al density: 2700 kg/m^3 –Thickness < AK(T 1 - T 2 )/q < 3.8 m (for both cases) Choose 0.5 cm ( m) –Mass of plate = density * thickness * area = 1.4 kg Kelly Leffel Structures and Thermal 6 Aluminum Plate
AAE450 Spring 2009 Ammonia Latent heat of vaporization of Ammonia: 1371 kJ/kg Mass (100 g) = kW * 450 sec /(1371 kJ/kg) = 0.02 kg Mass (10 kg) = kW * 450 sec /(1371 kJ/kg) = kg Aluminum Heat Pipes (100g) Volume needed to simulate P=1 atm : m^3 Choose pipe of 5 m long m^2 cross sectional area pi*r i ^2 = m^2 : r i = m, r o = m Mass = 2700 * pi * (r o ^2 – r i ^2) * length = 3.3 kg Kelly Leffel Structures and Thermal 7 Heat Pipes
