Moto sunali wofunikira pa moyo waumunthu wakale koma udakali wofunikira ku moyo wathu wamakono. Zimatenthetsa nyumba ndi madzi, zimaphikira chakudya, zimapangira magetsi, komanso zimayendetsa magalimoto athu, mwa zina. Komabe, poganizira zovuta zake zazikulu, pali zambiri zomwe sitikudziwa za zovuta zamakhalidwe amoto.
Gulu la ofufuza ochokera kusukulu zamaphunziro, Glenn Research Center ya NASA, Biological and Physical Sciences Division yabungweli, ndi mabungwe ena posachedwapa amaliza zofufuza zingapo pa International Space Station kuti amvetsetse bwino zochitika zakuyaka. The Kuyaka Kwambiri Kudzera pa Microgravity Experiments, kapena ACME, kuyesa kozungulira kwa projekiti kudayamba mu 2017 ndipo kumaphatikizapo kufufuza kopambana sikisi kwa malawi osasakanikirana amafuta a gaseous.
Malawi osakanikirana, monga malawi a makandulo, ndi omwe mafuta ndi oxidizer amakhala osiyana asanachite kapena kuyatsa. Moto wosakanikirana umapezeka muzochitika zambiri zomwe tazitchula pamwambapa, pamene mafuta ndi oxidizer amasakanikirana asanayankhe.
Zoyeserera zisanu ndi chimodzi za ACME zinali:
- Kuwotcha Rate Emulator (BRE) - zida zowonetsera zimatha kuwotcha kwa mphindi ngati palibe mpweya wotuluka m'malo oyendetsa magalimoto omwe akuganiziridwa kuti adzagwire ntchito zamtsogolo.
- Moto wa Coflow Laminar Diffusion (CLD Flame) - idapereka benchmark data pa sooty komanso mochepetsedwa kwambiri kuti apititse patsogolo mitundu yowerengera.
- Kufufuza kwa Flames ndi Gasi (CFI-G) - idayambitsa malawi oziziritsa osakhala osakanikirana amafuta a gasi popanda zowonjezera, monga ma reactants otentha, ma plasma a pulsed, kapena kuwonjezera kwa ozone, zomwe zakhala zikufunika pakuyesa pansi.
- Zamagetsi-Field Effects pa Laminar Diffusion Flames (E-FIELD Flames) - adawonetsa momwe angagwiritsire ntchito magetsi kuti achepetse mpweya wochokera kumoto wosakanizidwa.
- Flame Design - anasonyeza, kwa nthawi yoyamba, quasi-okhazikika osati premixed ozungulira malawi, ndi kuwoloka kutentha kutentha kumabweretsa kutha kwa malawi akuluakulu.
- Kapangidwe ndi Kuyankha kwa Moto Wozungulira Wozungulira (s-Flame) - inapereka deta yokhudzana ndi kukula kwa moto ndi kutha kwa kusintha kwa ma computational model.
Zoyesererazi zidachitika ndi seti imodzi yokha yama hardware mu space station ya Combustion Integrated Rack (CIR). Mayesowa adalamulidwa patali kuchokera ku Glenn ISS Payload Operations Center ya NASA ku Cleveland.
"Malawi opitilira 1,500 adayatsidwa, kuwirikiza katatu kuchuluka komwe adakonza," adatero Stocker. "Zoyamba" zingapo zidathekanso, mwina makamaka m'madera omwe amayaka moto wozizira komanso wozungulira."
Stocker adati pafupifupi antchito 50 ochokera ku NASA Glenn, academia, ndi ZIN Technologies, Inc. adathandizira ACME pazaka zinayi ndi theka za ntchito zozungulira. Kuphatikiza apo, opitilira 30 ogwira ntchito m'maiko asanu ndi limodzi adagwira nawo gawo lofunikira pakukhazikitsa zida zofufuzira zilizonse ndikulowetsa mabotolo amafuta, malangizo oyatsira moto, ndi zida zina zoyesera ngati pakufunika.
Zida za ACME zachotsedwa ku CIR kuti apange malo a Kuwotcha Mafuta Olimba ndi Kutha, kapena SoFIE, zida zomwe zidakhazikitsidwa mu February 2022, lomwe ndi gawo lotsatira pakufufuza kwa NASA munjira yoyaka moto. Zida za ACME zakonzedwa kuti zibwerere ku Dziko Lapansi m'miyezi ikubwerayi ndi cholinga chokhazikitsanso malo okwerera mlengalenga ndikuyesa mtsogolo.
