- This federal grant award, valued at $97,020.16, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System to support research on gas-liquid two-phase flows through packed beds in microgravity. The work is in support of the Packed Bed Reactor Experiment (PBRE) currently underway aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The goals of the project include analyzing data from the ISS experiments, validating and updating models for predicting...
- This is a $204,438.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Houston System to conduct research on gas-liquid two-phase flows through packed beds in microgravity. The research supports the Packed Bed Reactor Experiment-2 (PBRE-2) planned for the International Space Station in early 2020. The award is not set aside. The University of Houston System is the prime contractor, and there are no major subcontractors mentioned. This research aligns with NASA's work to understand physical phenomena...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a research institution, for a project titled "Validation of a CFD Model for Gas-Liquid Flows in Packed Bed Reactors to Enable Thermo-Fluid Analysis in Microgravity". The grant, valued at $200,000.00, is for research and development work to be completed by December 30, 2024. This award is not associated with a set-aside program. Purdue University, as the prime contractor,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $256,550.33 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a heat transfer database and reliable models for two-phase thermal systems in variable gravity environments. This research aims to address the key challenge of predicting the performance of two-phase heat exchangers on spacecraft, which is currently hampered by the lack of sufficient data and models for flow boiling under different gravity conditions. The...
- This is a $49,382 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Glenn Research Center to the University of Houston System to conduct research on the innovative use of smart materials in aircraft engine systems and components. The grant focuses on control and experimental issues related to this topic. The award has no set-aside designation and was made on January 1, 2005, with a final completion date of April 30, 2006. The University of Houston System, which includes the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to support research on capillary flows in reduced gravity environments. The $92,898.33 grant will fund the completion of the Capillary Flow Experiments 2 (CFE-2) vane gap experiments conducted on the International Space Station, including data/video archiving, data reduction, reporting, and publication preparation. This research aims to provide a quantitative and fundamental...
- This is a $261,425.81 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is for a "Ground-Based Study of Gravity Effects on Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Preparation for an ISS Flight Experiment." The goal is to develop data and models to predict the behavior of two-phase flows in heat exchanger geometries under varying gravity environments, in order to enable the use of more advanced two-phase...
- This is a $700,000.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is for a project to determine the non-dimensional parameters that affect gravity's impact on flow boiling heat transfer, and to obtain correction factors to account for these effects. The research will involve visualizing the flow structure as heat flux and inlet velocities are varied for different tube diameters, and continuing to...
- This federal contract award to Prairie View A&M University, a historically Black land-grant university in Texas, supports a research study on the combined effects of microgravity and space radiation on human cells. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is providing $722,711.44 in grant funding for this project, which aims to establish a baseline for understanding the molecular and cellular responses to simultaneous exposure to these space environmental stressors. The...
- The University of Houston System was awarded a $108,130.76 research grant by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, with a performance location in Houston, Texas. This civilian research grant, awarded on September 1, 2021, is scheduled for completion by February 28, 2025. The contract supports research on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) chemistry and its role in atmospheric processes, specifically examining NO2's influence on chemical reactions that lead to the formation of tropospheric ozone (O3), the...
