MULTIROD BURST TEST PROGRAM QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT FOR OCTOBER-DECEMBER 1975

摘要

During this report period, prototypic simulators PS-10, PS-11, PS-13, and PS-16 were tested with SEMCO heater 2828005 and PS-12, PS-14, and PS-15 with SEMCO heater 2828006. All these tests were conducted from nominally the same initial conditions, except that a much higher initial pressure (12,920 vs ~6500 kPa) was employed in PS-16 to investigate performance in this pressure range. Although a leak developed during the transient and the test was aborted, this test proved to be very interesting, in that failure occurred approximately 14 sec after termination of the transient.
