Abstract

The Swedish Microgravity Sounding Rocket program MASER is presented. Especially the MASER 1 payload is depicted, but also an outlook for the future possibilities within the Short Duration Flight Opportunities is given. Furthermore the coordination and relation with the German TEXUS program is touched upon. With the two TEXUS and MASER programs--possibly together with other fascinating projects like M-ARIES and MG-M-ARIANNE--the microgravity scientific community in Europe should get reasonable amounts of flight opportunities in preparation for the big space venture the European Space Station.

Drying of olive pomace by a combined microwave-fan assisted convection oven.

The drying rate curves in terms of moisture content versus time for olive oil pomace have been experimentally obtained using microwave and combined microwave-convection oven. The effects of microwave power (350, 490, 700 W), thickness (6, 9, 14 mm) and temperature (100, 160, 225 degrees C) have been investigated. It has been found that the effects of power output and thickness are negligible in microwave oven, whereas the drying rate increases with temperature increase in combined microwave-convection oven. The diffusion model fitted well to the drying curve of experimental data obtained for olive pomace at the studied conditions of drying.

Magnetic resonance imaging of convection in laser-polarized xenon.

We demonstrate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of the flow and diffusion of laser-polarized xenon (129Xe) gas undergoing convection above evaporating laser-polarized liquid xenon. The large xenon NMR signal provided by the laser-polarization technique allows more rapid imaging than one can achieve with thermally polarized gas-liquid systems, permitting shorter time-scale events such as rapid gas flow and gas-liquid dynamics to be observed. Two-dimensional velocity-encoded imaging shows convective gas flow above the evaporating liquid xenon, and also permits the measurement of enhanced gas diffusion near regions of large velocity variation.
