- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AT09G, was granted by NASA to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to develop an experiment to investigate the effects of gravity on electrically generated two-phase flow and electrically driven liquid film boiling. The $549,999.00 grant supports the development of flight hardware for the International Space Station, the conduct of the experiment onboard, operational support, and data evaluation. The effort is a collaborative project between WPI and the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $277,970.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a private research university. The contract aims to develop a next-generation, smart, active heat pipe with a focus on oscillating heat pipes (OHPs). The research will explore the use of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) induction pumping to actively control the oscillating flow within OHPs, which can provide improved thermal control...
- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a private university, for research on thermophysical properties and transport phenomena models and experiments on photorefractive materials in reduced gravity. The $399,998.00 grant-funded contract has a performance period ending on January 29, 2027. No set-aside designation was used. The contract represents an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with the Defense...
- This is a $571,410.90 federal grant award made by a U.S. government agency to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a private research university, for a project titled "APPLICATION OF GAS DYNAMIC COLD SPRAY PROCESSING FOR JOINING OF SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY." The grant was awarded on October 12, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of October 11, 2024.

- Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a private research university based in Worcester, Massachusetts, was awarded a $335,388 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on August 1, 2024, to support Project Tethys, which focuses on extracting water from the Martian environment. The grant, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed at WPI's Worcester campus and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2028. This research effort aligns with broader national...
- Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) was awarded a purchase order valued at $6,000 by a U.S. government agency on August 27, 2007, with an ultimate completion date of September 26, 2007. This contract supports a student project to determine a methodology for assessing occupational exposure among commercial fishers. The work is to be performed in Washington, DC, and no set-aside designation was used for this award. As a private research university with significant federal research...
- 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...
The U.S. government has awarded a $569,372.00 grant to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a private research university, to develop an "Electrically Driven Liquid Film Boiling - A Two-Phase Heat Transport Device Driven by Electric Conduction Mechanism."
