PITCH CARBON FIBRE [2 records]

Record 1 2013-03-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Plastic Materials
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

A carbon fibre produced from anisotropic or isotropic pitch precursors.

OBS

The carbon fibres produced from isotropic pitch precursors have a lower modulus of elasticity than those obtained from anisotropic pitch precursors, which can be processed to give a high modulus of elasticity.

OBS

pitch-based carbon fibre : term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization(ISO).

Key term(s)
  • pitch-based carbon fiber
  • pitch carbon fibre
  • pitch carbon fiber

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Matières plastiques
  • Plasturgie
DEF

Fibre de carbone obtenue à partir des précurseurs brai anisotropes ou isotropes.

OBS

Les fibres de carbone obtenues à partir des précurseurs brai isotropes possèdent un module d’élasticité inférieur à celles obtenues à partir des précurseurs brai anisotropes, lesquels peuvent être soumis à un traitement leur conférant un module d’élasticité élevé.

OBS

fibre de carbone à base de brai : terme et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Industrias textiles
  • Materiales plásticos
  • Fabricación de plásticos
DEF

Fibra de carbono producida a partir de precursores anisotrópicos o isotrópicos,

OBS

Las fibras de carbono producidas a partir de breas precursoras tiene un módulo de elasticidad más bajo que el obtenido a partir de brea precursora anisotrópica, la cual puede ser procesada para dar un modulo de elasticidad mayor.

The Ausroc 3(A3) launch vehicle has a liquid fuelled motor that burns JA-1 kerosene with liquid oxygen, and uses regenerative cooling. The motor produces 35 kN at sea level and has a burn time of 80 seconds. The motor is gimballed to facilitate pitch and yaw control. The wall of the combustion chamber, throat and expansion nozzle consists of 102 stainless steel tubes stacked side by side running parallel to the motor axis. The tubes will be brazed together and the assembly wrapped in a carbon fibre composite. The composite wrapping is used to relieve to tubes of the hoop stress generated by the combustion pressure(2 MPa), whilst the tubes contain the combustion heat(3500 K). The top end of the motor has a kerosene inlet manifolt, oxygen dome and injector block. The kerosene inlet manifold delivers kerosene to every second motor tube, where it travels down to the arse end of the motor. Here it enters the lower kerosene manifold which is a simple plenum ring. This allows the kerosene to flow into the other alternate tubes which deliver it back up to the inlet manifold. The inlet manifold then directs the kerosene to the injector block, which sprays it and the liquid oxygen into the combustion chamber.
