Harvesting Near Earth Asteroid Resources Using Solar Sail Technology [PDF]
Near Earth asteroids represent a wealth of material resources to support future space ventures. These resources include water from C-type asteroids for crew logistic support; liquid propellants electrolytically cracked from water to fuel crewed vehicles ...

Glycerol ethoxylate (GEO), a branched ethylene glycol derivative, both toughens commercial PLLA and accelerates its chemical recycling to L‐lactide. The lead sample, containing 10 wt.% GEO, shows 9x higher elongation at break and 6x higher tensile toughness than pure PLLA. The GEO–PLLA samples are efficiently chemically recycled to L‐lactide, even when

Dataset of bond enthalpies (εAA, εAB, εBB) in 975 binary intermetallic compounds
The concept of a bond energy between a pair of atoms is well-established in chemistry and physics. In materials science, it is a fundamental parameter in the development of thermodynamic models such as the regular, quasi-chemical and sub-regular solution

Modelling and simulation on the tool wear in nanometric cutting [PDF]
Tool wear is a significant factor affecting the machined surface quality. In this paper, a Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation approach is proposed to model the wear of the diamond tool in nanometric cutting. It includes the effects of the cutting heat on

Thermal defrosting limits desublimator efficiency in freeze‐drying. This review and case study compares thermal versus mechanical regeneration, links frost properties and external heat transfer to energy demand, and summarizes pilot‐scale scraping results enabling single‐unit, continuous lyophilization.

Optimal model‐based design of experiments for parameter precision: Supercritical extraction case
Abstract This study investigates the process of chamomile oil extraction from flowers. A parameter‐distributed model consisting of a set of partial differential equations is used to describe the governing mass transfer phenomena in a cylindrical packed bed with solid chamomile particles under supercritical conditions using carbon dioxide as a solvent ...

Recovery of actinides from actinide-aluminium alloys by chlorination: Part I [PDF]
Pyrochemical processes in molten LiCl–KCl are being developed in ITU for recovery of actinides from spent nuclear fuel. The fuel is anodically dissolved to the molten salt electrolyte and actinides are electrochemically reduced on solid aluminium ...

Vapor pressure and sublimation enthalpy of elemental technetium
Abstract The vapor pressure of technetium metal was measured over the temperature range 2051–2348 K using Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry. The vapor pressure of technetium measured over this temperature range is R In P(atm) = {− (128.1 ± 1.5) × 10 3 T} + (23.19 ± 0.68) .
