the magnitude and capacity of these systems makes the ames arc jet complex unique. the largest power supply can deliver 75 megawatts (mw) for a 30-minute duration or 150 mw for a 15-second duration. this power capacity, in combination with a high-volume 5-stage steam ejector vacuum-pumping system, enables facility operations to match high-altitude atmospheric flight conditions with samples of relatively large size. the thermo-physics facilities branch operates four arc jet facilities. the interaction heating facility (ihf), with an available power of over 60-mw, is one of the highest-power arc jets available. it is a very flexible facility, capable of long run times of up to one hour, and able to test large samples in both a stagnation and flat plate configuration. the panel test facility (ptf) uses a unique semielliptic nozzle for testing panel sections. powered by a 20-mw arc heater, the ptf can perform tests on samples for up to 20 minutes. the turbulent flow duct provides supersonic, turbulent high temperature air flows over flat surfaces. the tfd is powered by a 20-mw hüls arc heater and can test samples in size. the aerodynamic heating facility (ahf) has similar characteristics to the ihf arc heater, offering a wide range of operating conditions, samples sizes and extended test times. a cold-air-mixing plenum allows for simulations of ascent or high-speed flight conditions. catalycity studies using air or nitrogen can be performed in this flexible rig. a 5-arm model support system allows the user to maximize testing efficiency. the ahf can be configured with either a hüls or segmented arc heater, up to 20-mw. 1 mw is enough power to supply 750 homes.
