To provide a device and a method for keeping a residual fuel proximate to a sump for fuel dumping processing of a reusable launch vehicle.SOLUTION: A fuel tank 100 comprises an interior wall, a sump 110, and a baffle 120 that comprises a center fitting 124, a full-length containment petal 132, a partial-length containment petal 134, a dump tube 118. The full-length containment petal 132 comprises a full-length side edge extending radially outward from the center fitting 124. The partial-length containment petal 134 comprises a partial-length side edge extending radially outward from the center fitting 124. The dump tube 118 is connected to the sump 110. The full-length side edge of the full-length containment petal 132 is longer than the partial-length side edge of the partial-length containment petal 134. All of the partial-length side edge of the partial-length containment petal 134 is attached to a linear portion of the full-length side edge of the full-length containment petal 132.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2A

    【課題】再使用可能な打ち上げビークルの燃料投棄処理のため、残留燃料をサンプの近傍に維持しておく装置及び方法を提供する。【解決手段】燃料タンク100は、内壁と、サンプ110と、中央取付具124、全長封じ込めペタル132、部分長封じ込めペタル134、及び放出管118を備えるバッフル120とを備える。全長封じ込めペタル132は、中央取付具124から半径方向外側に延伸する全長側縁部を備える。部分長封じ込めペタル134は、中央取付具124から半径方向外側に延伸する部分長側縁部を備える。放出管118は、サンプ110に接続される。全長封じ込めペタル132の全長側縁部は、部分長封じ込めペタル134の部分長側縁部よりも長い。部分長封じ込めペタル134の部分長側縁部の全ては、全長封じ込めペタル132の全長側縁部の直線部分に取り付けられる。【選択図】図2A
