HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF A FILM EVAPORATIVE MEMS TUNABLE ARRAY

This thesis details the heat and mass transfer analysis of a MEMs microthruster designed to provide propulsive, attitude control and thermal control capabilities to a cubesat. This thruster is designed to function by retaining water as a propellant and applying resistive heating in order to increase the temperature of the liquid-vapor interface to either increase evaporation or induce boiling to regulate mass flow. The resulting vapor is then expanded out of a diverging nozzle to produce thrust. Because of the low operating pressure and small length scale of this thruster, unique forms of mass transfer analysis such as non-continuum gas flow were modeled using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method. Continuum fluid/thermal simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics have been applied to model heat and mass transfer in the solid and liquid portions of the thruster. The two methods were coupled through variables at the liquid-vapor interface and solved iteratively by the bisection method. The simulations presented in this thesis confirm the thermal valving concept. It is shown that when power is applied to the thruster there is a nearly linear increase in mass flow and thrust. Thus, mass flow can be regulated by regulating the applied power. This concept can also be used as a thermal control device for spacecraft

Legal Aspects of Drug Abuse

In discussing the existing drug laws in this country, it is useful to break them down into two categories: First, the Federal and state laws directed at marijuana and narcotics and, second, the Federal and state laws governing hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD. Laws regulating and prohibiting the use of and traffic in the various drugs arose in response to public concern over their abuse. Federal regulation began with the Harrison Narcotic Drug Act of 1914, which was aimed at opium and other hard narcotics. In 1937 Congress enacted the Marijuana Tax Act, modeling it largely after the Harrison Act, and treating marijuana in a manner similar to narcotics. The Ohio General Assembly, adopting the Uniform Narcotics Drug Act, defined narcotic drugs to include marijuana, thus dealing with both in the same manner. Legislation designed to control the traffic in hallucinogenic drugs began in 1965 when Congress enacted the Drug Abuse Control Amendments to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Ohio followed suit in 1967
