AAE450 Spring 2009 BACK-UP SLIDES Kelly Leffel Structures and Thermal 4 MLI Blanket 25 layers Aluminized Mylar (0.007 g/cm^2) Effective emissivity= Q = e*(A)*sb*(Th^4-Tc^4) e = Effective emissivity = A = Surface area (changes for each lander) sb = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 *10^-8 J/K^4.m^2.s Th = Hot temperature (temperature in the sun) = 393 K Tc = Cold temperature (temperature in the lander) = 293 K Additional 0.4 kg on the 100 g case for the ball storage box

AAE450 Spring 2009 Kelly Leffel Structures and Thermal 5 Heat needed to be removed Assume 70% efficient equipment With 40 Watts required, 12 Watts of heat released Communication Equipment Heat 100g – 49 Watts 10 kg – 38 Watts Difference is due to the change in the surface area

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

AAE450 Spring 2009 Heat Pipe Continued  Aluminum (10 kg) –Volume : m^3, choose length = 5 m – m^2 cross sectional area –pi*r i ^2 = m^2 : r i = m, r o = m –Mass = 2700*pi*(0.0322^ ^2)*5 = 2.7 kg  Radiators –Dissipate 61 and 50 Watts –Emissivity of 0.92 for white paint –Area of the radiators: m^2(100 g) and m^2 (10kg) –Mass = 2.38kg(100 g), 1.95kg (10 kg) Kelly Leffel Structures and Thermal 8
