Balakin S.V., Dyvak A.N., Sterligov D.V., Filin V.M. Static error modelling in fuel level measurements for liquid-propellant rockets

The problem of level meter development for fuel consumption control system is addressed. The meter must operate efficiently in a wide range of fuel level change rates. The paper presents key error components incident to the phase method of liquid level measuring based on the analysis of the carrier frequency phase of the bridge circuit signal. It offers the criteria that describe the level meter’s performance and accuracy. A procedural approach to analytical study of the level meter’s mathematical model is also included.

Soborover E I., Zyablov V.L. A SAW-based element without sensing layer as a gas and gas mixture sensor. Part 2 – Binary and pseudo-binary gas mixtures

The paper investigates the relationship between the composition of binary/pseudo-binary gas mixtures in vacuum and the pressure sensitivity of a SAW-based element implemented as a delay circuit on an AT-cut quartz crystal without sensitive coating. With the examples of methane/air and propane/air mixtures it shows that a SAW-element can be used as a gas mixture composition analyzer. This means that a new express method for measuring physical parameters such as averaged molecular weight, density, and viscosity of binary gas mixtures is actually offered.
