Every Thousand Years
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
Ironically, the Newsletter of the Fidonet Community is being brought
|
||
to you this week by the person most out of touch with the rest of
|
||
Fidonet. A combination of personal illness and Y2K software
|
||
failures have left my system in sad shape - still running but with
|
||
many bugs still to correct. Moreover, Net 270 needed to establish
|
||
another path for netmail and echomail when George Peace left Fidonet
|
||
at the millenium rollover. These connections were working at first,
|
||
but for some reason stopped. Even now, we're receiving echomail
|
||
sporadically, and I'm not sure of the status of netmail routing.
|
||
|
||
Gawd! I hope we don't have to go through this every thousand years!
|
||
|
||
Rather than carp about the failures, though, I'd like to take an
|
||
editorial opportunity to thank the people who are moving mail for
|
||
Fidonet. I've criticized them in the past for the petty quarrels
|
||
and senseless power plays... but it seems that they are holding Fido
|
||
together right now. At least I've gotten my share of advice, offers
|
||
for help, netmails, even phone calls... letting me know that Fidonet
|
||
is still pulling together into the next thousand or so years.

ROCKET SCIENTIST PEEKS INTO THE PHYSICS OF PROPELLANTS
|
||
Ol'WDB visits NASA's JPL Lab site for you.
|
||
|
||
While the term "rocket scientist" gets tossed around rather loosely
|
||
these days, Dr. Josette Bellan, a senior research scientist at
|
||
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is the genuine article, spending
|
||
FIDONEWS 18-02 Page 6 10 Jan 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
much of her time pondering the mysteries of propellants at high
|
||
pressures and temperatures.
|
||
|
||
Dr. Bellan is currently leading research to help better understand
|
||
the intricacies of high-pressure fluid behavior, which could help
|
||
in the eventual use of powerful computers to simulate what goes on
|
||
in combustion chambers. That could result in significant cost
|
||
savings over the current rocket design standard, which is primarily
|
||
based on hardware testing.
|
||
|
||
Dr. Bellan and one of her associates, JPL's Dr. Kenneth Harstad,
|
||
are about to publish a paper in the International Journal of
|
||
Multiphase Flow that may provide researchers with key elements
|
||
needed to unlock the mystery of high-pressure fluid behavior.
|
||
|
||
The work, titled "An All-Pressure Fluid Drop Model Applied To a
|
||
Binary Mixture: Heptane in Nitrogen," due to be published this
|
||
spring, documents the accuracy of their model of a single
|
||
hydrocarbon droplet in a high-pressure environment, emulating the
|
||
conditions that propellants endure in combustion chambers. It also
|
||
pinpoints differences between low- and high-pressure fluid
|
||
behavior.
|
||
|
||
The model highlights the importance of a previously neglected
|
||
quantity, the "thermal diffusion factor," describing how a highly
|
||
localized change in temperature within a mixture of fluids can give
|
||
rise to a flow of one ingredient in that mixture compared to the
|
||
rest of the ingredients. Conversely, this factor describes how
|
||
local changes in ingredients can give rise to local changes in
|
||
temperature.
|
||
|
||
While typically playing no role at ordinary atmospheric pressure,
|
||
the thermal diffusion factor becomes important at high pressures.
|
||
|
||
"Because this factor is usually unimportant, quantifying it has not
|
||
been a high priority in the past," said Bellan, who holds a Ph.D.
|
||
in aerospace and mechanical sciences from Princeton University and
|
||
now conducts research in JPL's Thermal and Propulsion Engineering
|
||
Systems section. Reared in France, she earned a master of science
|
||
in applied mathematics from the University of Sciences in Paris.
|
||
|
||
"Our research shows that if we want to understand propellant
|
||
behavior under high pressure, knowing this factor is in fact very
|
||
important," she adds.
|
||
|
||
She points out that this model brings scientists a step closer to
|
||
creating realistic computer simulations of rocket, jet and diesel
|
||
engine combustion chambers. Long-term benefits will likely include
|
||
cost savings and greater design accuracy.
|
||
|
||
Those simulations may well lead to new estimates of the ideal size
|
||
of combustion chambers, because those simulations will now include
|
||
the thermal diffusion factor, whose importance has been proven by
|
||
this model.
|
||
|
||

Monkey Management
|
||
Ol'WDB
|
||
|
||
A man walks into a Silicon Valley pet store looking to buy a
|
||
monkey.
|
||
|
||
The store owner points towards three identical looking monkeys in
|
||
politically-correct, animal-friendly natural mini-habitats.
|
||
|
||
"The one on the left costs $500," says the store owner.
|
||
|
||
"Why so much?" asks the customer.
|
||
|
||
"Because it can program in C," answers the store owner.
|
||
|
||
The customer inquires about the next monkey and is told, "That one
|
||
costs $1500. It knows Visual C++ and Object-Relational technology."
|
||
|
||
The startled man then asks about the third monkey. "That one costs
|
||
$3000," answers the store owner.
|
||
|
||
"3000 dollars!!" exclaims the man. "What can that one do?"
|
||
|
||
To which the owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen it do a
|
||

|

A sister and brother are talking to each other when the little boy
|
||
gets up and walks over to his Grandpa and says, "Grandpa, please
|
||
make a frog noise."
|
||
|
||
The Grandpa says, "No."
|
||
|
||
The little boy goes on, "Please...please make a frog noise."
|
||
|
||
The Grandpa says, "No, now go play."
|
||
|
||
The little boy then says to his sister, "Go tell Grandpa to make a
|
||
frog noise." So the little girl goes to her Grandpa and says,
|
||
"Please make a frog noise."
|
||
|
||
The Grandpa says, "I just told your brother no and I'm telling you
|
||
no."
|
||
|
||
The little girl says, "Please...please Grandpa make a frog noise."

The Grandpa says, "Why do you want me to make a frog noise?"
|
||
|
||
The little girl replied, "Because mommy said when you croak we can
|
||
go to Disney World!"
