Semi-Cryogenic Propellant Tank

 

Why in News

Recently, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) delivered the heaviest semi-cryogenic propellant tank (SC120- LOX) to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

  • In 2020, HAL delivered the biggest ever cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen tank (C32-LH2) to ISRO.

Key Points

  • About:
    • The semi cryo-liquid oxygen (LOX) tank - the first developmental welded hardware - is a part of the SC120 stage intended for payload enhancement by replacing the L110 stage in the existing Mk-III launch vehicle.
      • GSLV Mk III is a three-stage heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by ISRO. The vehicle has two solid strap-ons, a core liquid booster and a cryogenic upper stage.
  • Cryogenic Engine:
    • A cryogenic engine/cryogenic stage is the last stage of space launch vehicles which makes use of Cryogenics.
      • Cryogenics is the study of the production and behaviour of materials at extremely low temperatures (below -150 degree Centigrade) to lift and place heavier objects in space.
    • A cryogenic engine provides more force with each kilogram of cryogenic propellant it uses compared to other propellants, such as solid and liquid propellant rocket engines and is more efficient.
    • It uses Liquid Oxygen (LOX) and Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) as propellants which liquefy at -183 deg C and -253 deg C respectively.
  • Semi Cryogenic Engine:
    • Unlike a Cryogenic engine, a Semi Cryogenic engine uses Refined kerosene instead of liquid hydrogen.
    • The liquid oxygen is used as a Oxidiser.
      • That’s the advantage of using a Semi Cryogenic engine as it requires Refined Kerosene which is lighter than liquid fuel and can be stored in a normal temperature.
    • Kerosene combined with liquid oxygen provide a higher thrust to the rocket.
    • Refined Kerosene occupies less space, making it possible to carry more propellant in a Semi Cryogenic engines fuel compartment.
    • A semi cryogenic engine is more powerful, environment friendly and cost effective as compared to a cryogenic engine.

HTML5 Attributes

As explained in previous chapter, elements may contain attributes that are used to set various properties of an element. Some attributes are defined globally and can be used on any element, while others are defined for specific elements only. All attributes have a name and a value and look like as shown below in the example. Following is the example of an HTML5 attributes which illustrates how to mark up a div element with an attribute named class using a value of "example": <div class="example">...</div> Attributes may only be specified within start tags and must never be used in end tags. HTML5 attributes are case insensitive and may be written in all uppercase or mixed case, although the most common convention is to stick with lowercase. Standard Attributes: The attributes listed below are supported by almost all the HTML 5 tags. Attribute Options Function accesskey User Defined Specifies a keyboard shortcut to access an element.

Brief Introduction of Data Science !

  What is Data Science? Data science is a deep study of the massive amount of data, which involves extracting meaningful insights from raw, structured, and unstructured data that is processed using the scientific method, different technologies, and algorithms. It is a multidisciplinary field that uses tools and techniques to manipulate the data so that you can find something new and meaningful. Data science uses the most powerful hardware, programming systems, and most efficient algorithms to solve the data related problems. It is the future of artificial intelligence. In short, we can say that data science is all about: Asking the correct questions and analyzing the raw data. Modeling the data using various complex and efficient algorithms. Visualizing the data to get a better perspective. Understanding the data to make better decisions and finding the final result. Example: Let suppose we want to travel from station A to station B by car. Now, we need to take some decisions such as w
