The purpose of this final report is a general characterization of the Flight Model of BIOMAUS which was realized in 1991. The BIOMAUS (Miniature Biology Facility) is an automated life support system (LSS) which provides a controlled atmosphere for Experiments with plants and other biological specimens under microgravity. It has been designed in ord...
The replacement of hydrogen by more efficient upgrading materials was investigated experimentally in flow reactors and downpipe reactors applying methane/nitrous oxide (4:1), hydrogen and nitrogen and high-volatile coal with low carbonization values. Of the promoter gases nitrous oxide, nitrogen oxide and chlorine only nitrous oxide had a positive ...
High temperature low cycle fatigue experiments were carried out on Incoloy 800 H and AC 66 (14877) in air and in a steam coal gasification atmosphere. The results of the investigations are presented comparatively. Evaluation shows that the life results of AC 66 are at least comparable with those of the Incoloy 800 H. However, the materials have a d...
