(DURIP) DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A MICROPLASMA RESISTIVE HEATING SYSTEM FOR OXIDATION OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS IN ULTRA-HIGH TEMPERATURE MOLECULAR A
Abstract
The proposed effort to design and construct a novel micro-plasma resistive heating system for oxidation of refractory materials in ultra-high temperature molecular and dissociated oxygen is directly relevant for new material development and life prediction of structural materials and thermal protection systems for hypersonic vehicles of interest to the US Air Force and DoD. The proposed instrumentation will also contribute to the education of students. Students utilizing the micro-plasma resistive heating system will be exposed to synthesis of high temperature materials, oxidation in extreme environments using the new system and other standard furnaces, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of oxidation mechanisms, and complementary laboratory characterization techniques. US students working on this and related projects are all eligible for interaction with and future hires at DoD labs. The micro-plasma resistive heating system will contribute to DoD work force development through experiential research.
