| Description | Journal: Iop Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering The orbital propellant management performance of the vane-type tank is so important for the propellant system and it determines the lifetime of the satellite. The propellant in the tank can be extruded by helium gas. To study the two phase distribution in the vane-type surface tension tank and the capability of the vane-type propellant management device (PMD), a large volume vane-type surface tension tank is analysed using 3-D unsteady numerical simulations. VOF methods are used to analyse the location of the interface of the two phase. Performances of the propellant acquisition vanes and propellant refillable reservoir in the tank are investigated. The flow conductivity of the propellant acquisition vanes and the liquid storage capacity of propellant refillable reservoir can be affected by the value of the gravity and the volume of the propellant in the tank. To avoid the large resistance causing by surface tension in an outflow of a small hole, the design of the vanes in a propellant refillable reservoir should have suitable space. |
