Abstract： The facility for combustion experiments in space is lightweight, small sized and multi- functional. In this paper, a prototype system used for flame structure display and temperature measurement is presented, which combined the schlieren method, rainbow schlieren deflection method and differential interference method. It is also lightweight and small sized. As for the prototype system, the flame structure display function was checked by schlieren method in microgravity drop tower, and the temperature measurement function was checked by rainbow schlieren deflection and differential interference method under normal gravity condition. Results show that the resolution of flame structure was not less than 1 mm, and temperature field measurement was accurate with relative error smaller than 2%. Such prototype system is important to the promotion of space combustion science experiment technology and will be beneficial to the future combustion experiments in space.

Abstract： A measurement and control system of three-dimensional(3D) position information of electrostatic levitation based on position sensitive detector(PSD) is setup and structure of PSD and position measurement and control principle of electrostatic levitation are analyzed.Output signal of PSD is processed by STC12C5A60S2 MCU,corresponding relationship between suspension sample position information and output voltage of PSD is obtained,and communication between MCU and upper PC,data analysis and processing,and position control on levitation sample are realized.Use zirconium materials to carry out suspension experiment and test results indicate that the system can realize non-contact measurement of sample position information and stable suspension of sample,and it has advantages of stable operation and reliable detecting data,and so on,and this measurement system laid foundation for material suspended heating and undercooling research.
