Modal Propellant Gauging in Microgravity

Optical Mass Gauging System for Use in Microgravity Environments

Currently there are no effective methods of obtaining accurate fluid volume measurements in a microgravity environment. Conventional fluid measurement methods rely solely upon gravity to settle the fluid in order to obtain accurate measurements. However, this approach cannot be applied when fluids are within a microgravity environment and experience sloshing. This optical mass gauging system ut...

Quantum gauging from classical gauging of nonlinear algebras.

We extend our previous theory of the gauging of classical quadratically nonlinear algebras without a central charge but with a coset structure, to the quantum level. Inserting the minimal anomalies into the classical transformation rules of the currents introduces further quantum corrections to the classical transformation rules of the gauge fields and currents which additively renormalize the ...

Gauging Cosets

We show how to gauge the set of raising and lowering generators of an arbitrary Lie algebra. We consider SU(N) as an example. The nilpotency of the BRST charge requires constraints on the ghosts associated to the raising and lowering generators. To remove these constraints we add further ghosts and we need a second BRST charge to obtain nontrivial cohomology. The second BRST operator yields a g...

Green Propellant: A Study

The present study focuses simply on propellants which are environment friendly i.e. Green propellants. In Propulsion Systems, there are two ingredients burned together which are fuel & oxidizer and the resultant energy is used to propel the system. In composite solid rocket propellants, Ammonium perchlorate (AP) is being used extensively which has its own disadvantages i.e. HCl release during i...
