SOLID ROCKET PROPULSION PPT ( SPACE SOLID ROCKET ).pptxAmarnathGhosh8
Rocket propulsion is a class of jet propulsion that produces thrust by ejecting burned propellant. The thrust is generated on the basis of Newton's third law of motion. Rocket propulsion systems can be broadly classified according to the type of energy source (chemical, solar, electric, or nuclear).
This seminar gives idea about spacecraft propulsion i.e., actually what are different latest modes of propulsion are used in space agency and also the introduction of combustion of propellants.
This presentation is an brief insight into what ATF is, its important properties, few standards followed in world in ATF Quality and ATF contamination.
RAMJET is a type of jet engine in which the air drawn in for combustion is compressed solely by the forward motion of the aircraft.
A ramjet uses this high pressure in front of the engine to force air through the tube, where it is heated by combusting some of it with fuel.
It is then passed through a nozzle to accelerate it to supersonic speeds. This acceleration gives the ramjet forward thrust.

Since the conventional Battery Ignition System has many drawbacks so, this Laser Ignition System is helpful in improving the efficiency of the engine as well it helps to reduce the emission from the engine.
Fossil fuel consumption in the recent years has been increasing and the burning of fossil fuel is said to be a major contributor towards global warming, acid rains, air, water and soil pollution, forest devastation and radioactive substances emissions. Besides the environment, the fossil fuel prices fluctuate considerably, usually going up and being very expensive in many countries.
Most importantly, the quantity of fossil fuels, like petroleum,natural gas, and coal can only decrease since they are non-renewable resources.
As a result many countries have been investing billions of dollars in new technologies and demand for sophisticated power supply options is greatly increased.
In a typical developed country as much as 40% of total fuel consumption is used for industrial and domestic space heating and process heating. Of this around one third is wasted.
Currently recovering low temperature heat which includes Industrial waste heat, geothermal energy, solar heat, biomass and so on could be a very critical and sustainable way to solve energy crisis. Utilising waste heats along with attempts for the use of renewable sources as low grade thermal heat has motivated us to develop a project based on ORC.
Tank linings and repairs by strandek waterproofingSteveBowen35
Storage tanks, whether they are intended for water storage, chemical storage or any other liquid require durability and compatibility. Whilst many storage tanks have these qualities, they are susceptable to leaking. In such instances. a new tank might be required, but in reality a re-lining of the internal surface with a resin-based lining system like GRP or polyurethane is highly desirable. This could result in significant cost savings.
Abstract
The present day scenario of the modern world is impossible to imagine without automobile. Thus it a primary challenge for automobile industries to design efficient and cost effective engine. The performance of the engine again depends on the type of fuel used, the cooling system, the lubrication system, the range of temperature in which the engine works etc. If the factors are taken care of then the performance of the engine can be improved. In this paper the effect of the fuel assimilating metallic nano-particles is studied. After the combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber the byproducts of combustion (water vapor and carbon dioxide) are further disintegrated, the dissociation of water being an exothermal process adds up to the heat intake of the engine. The food for the engine being heat and not the fuel, it is beneficial in every sense to extract maximum possible amount of heat from the given mass of fuel. This process has both merits and demerits which are shown by the comprehensive study of the fuel used in an internal combustion engine, the chemical process involved in the combustion and the process of exhaust.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. INTRODUCTION
Rocket propellant
Rocket propellant is a material used by a rocket as, or to produce in a
chemical reaction, the reaction mass (propulsive mass) that is ejected,
typically with very high speed, from a rocket engine to produce thrust,
and thus provide spacecraft propulsion. In a chemical rocket, propellants
undergo exothermic chemical reactions to produce hot gas. There may
be a single propellant or multiple propellants. In the case of multiple
propellants, one can distinguish fuel and oxidizer. The gases produced
expand and push on a nozzle, which accelerates them until they rush out
of the back of the rocket at extremely high speed. For smaller attitude
control thrusters, a compressed gas escapes the spacecraft through a
propelling nozzle.
5. Types of propellants
There are four main types of chemical rocket propellants: solid, liquid,
gas and hybrid.
1. Solid propellants
Solid propellants are either "composites" composed mostly of large,
distinct macroscopic particles or single, double, or triple-bases which are
homogeneous mixtures of one or more primary ingredients. Composites
6. typically consist of a mixture of granules of solid oxidizer
(examples: ammonium nitrate, ammonium per chlorate, potassium
nitrate) in a polymer binder with flakes or powders of: energetic
compounds (examples: RDX, HMX), metallic additives (examples:
Aluminum, Beryllium), plasticizers, stabilizers, and/or burn rate
modifiers (iron oxide, copper oxide).
Advantages of solid propellants
• Solid propellant rockets are much easier to store and handle than
liquid propellant rockets.
• High propellant density makes for compact size as well.
• These features plus simplicity and low cost make solid propellant
rockets ideal for military applications.
• Their simplicity also makes solid rockets a good choice whenever
large amounts of thrust are needed and cost is an issue.
Disadvantages of solid propellants
• Relative to liquid fuel rockets, solid fuel rockets have lower
specific impulse.
• The propellant mass ratios of solid propellant upper stages is
usually in the .91 to .93 range which is as good as or better than
7. that of most liquid propellant upper stages but overall performance
is less than for liquid stages because of the solids' lower exhaust
velocities.
• The high mass ratios possible with (unsegmented) solids are a
result of high propellant density and very high strength-to-weight
ratio filament-wound motor casings.
• A drawback to solid rockets is that they cannot be throttled in real
time.
• Solid rockets can be vented to extinguish combustion or reverse
thrust as a means of controlling range or accommodating warhead
separation.
• Casting large amounts of propellant requires consistency and
repeatability which is assured by computer control.
• Solid fuel rockets are intolerant to cracks and voids and often
require post-processing such as x-ray scans to identify faults.
8. 2. Liquid propellants
In a liquid propellant rocket, the fuel and oxidizer are stored in separate
tanks, and are fed through a system of pipes, valves, and turbo pumps to
a combustion chamber where they are combined and burned to produce
thrust. A good liquid propellant is one with a high specific impulse or,
stated another way, one with a high speed of exhaust gas ejection. This
implies a high combustion temperature and exhaust gases with small
molecular weights. However, there is another important factor which
must be taken into consideration: the density of the propellant. Storage
temperature is also important.
9. Advantages of liquid propellants
• Liquid-fueled rockets have higher specific impulse than solid
rockets.
• They are capable of being throttled, shut down, and restarted.
• On vehicles employing turbo pumps, the propellant tanks are at
very much less pressure than the combustion chamber. For these
reasons, most orbital launch vehicles use liquid propellants.
• The primary performance advantage of liquid propellants is due to
the oxidizer. Several practical liquid oxidizers (liquid oxygen,
nitrogen tetroxide, and hydrogen peroxide) are available which
have better specific impulse than the ammonium per chlorate used
in most solid rockets, when paired with comparable fuels.
• While liquid propellants are cheaper than solid propellants. Some
propellants, notably Oxygen and Nitrogen, may be able to
be collected from the upper atmosphere, and transferred up to low-
Earth orbit for use in propellant depots at substantially reduced
cost.
10. Disadvantages of liquid propellants
• These are generally least moderately difficult to store and handle
due to their low reactivity with common materials.
• Several exotic oxidizers have been proposed which are unstable,
energetic, and toxic.
• Liquid-fueled rockets also require potentially troublesome valves
and seals and thermally stressed combustion chambers, which
increase the cost of the rocket.
3. Gas propellants
A gas propellant usually involves some sort of compressed gas.
However, due to the low density and high weight of the pressure vessel,
11. gases see little current use, but are sometimes used for vernier engines,
particularly with inert propellants.
Advantages of gas propellants
• They do not burn (although other liquids in the aerosol
may burn).
• They are readily available and cheap.
• Gaseous fuels lack density.
• Long term storage is possible.
Disadvantage of gas propellants
• The pressure in the can reduces over the lifetime of the
aerosol.
12. 4. Hybrid propellants
A hybrid rocket usually has a solid fuel and a liquid or gas oxidizer. The
fluid oxidizer can make it possible to throttle and restart the motor just
like a liquid-fueled rocket. Hybrid rockets can also be environmentally
safer than solid rockets since some high-performance solid-phase
oxidizers contain chlorine (specifically composites with ammonium per
chlorate), versus the more benign liquid oxygen or nitrous oxide often
used in hybrids. This is only true for specific hybrid systems.
13. Advantages of hybrid propellants
• These are much cheaper.
• Can be shut down easily.
• Throttle control.
• Much safer to handle.
• Higher theoretical specific impulse.
Disadvantages of hybrid propellants
• Slightly more complex than solids.
• Difficult to make use of hybrid propellants for very large thrusts.
• Less researched.
14. CONCLUSION
The knowledge that has been obtained through the research of rocket
technology has brought the promise of the eventual commercialization
of space ever closer. If more research and development is invested into
solid-fuel and liquid-fuel technology, the dream of commercializing the
space industry can be can be realized. Perhaps prior to that realization,
whole new technologies for design and construction of spacecraft and
different fuels may be required. However, it is a good bet that further
research and development, cost effectiveness and overall improvement
with the current workhorses of space exploration will be around for
some time.
