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 develop techniques to measure local heat transfer distributions under varying gravity environments, primarily using a parabolic aircraft as the testing platform. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park is the prime contractor, and the work is part of NASA's broader research program on gravity effects on flow boiling heat transfer.
