Collimation of High-speed Flow with Thermal Spread Losses

Collimation of High-speed Flow with Thermal Spread Losses

Abstract

The operation of the neutral beam collimator designed for the mass spectrometer inlet system of the Space Shuttle Induced Environment Contamination Monitor system is discussed. The collimator will allow selective views of a 10 deg half-angle conical volume of space so that backscattered molecules from within this volume can be measured and related to the column densities of outgassing species. Gas molecules which enter the collimator but do not have a view from the entrance orifice to the exit are directed to a gas getter and eliminated. The loss of properly directed molecules in the collimator due to their thermal distribution is calculated for the case of a directed flow, which would occur when the collimator is pointed in the direction of motion of the spacecraft. Inlet to outlet flux ratios are also computed as a function of angle of attack.
