- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. The primary purpose of the grant is to gain experimental data on reduced gravity cryogenic pool boiling, and the secondary purpose is to gain experimental data on reduced gravity subsurface pressurization in a cryogenic liquid tank. The grant was awarded on December 3, 2019, with a ceiling value of $537,887.34 and a period of performance ending...
- 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 is a $648,334.35 grant award to the University of Louisville's Office of Research & Innovation Division, a non-profit educational institution, to conduct research on "Complex Wound Care and Surgery in Spaceflight" for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The grant is for the purpose of developing a method to facilitate wound treatment while managing bleeding and preventing fluids and tissue from contaminating the spacecraft during spaceflight. The award...
- This is a $385,491.50 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Louisville's Office of Research & Innovation Division to investigate short-term variability in atmospheric tides from the troposphere to the ionosphere. The overarching objective is to study migrating and non-migrating diurnal tides and their drivers, with the goal of developing a statistical empirical model of tidal short-term variability. This work supports NASA's priority...
- 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 $197,090 grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, a public research university focused on science and engineering. The objective of this research grant is to study and predict the microscale patterns that develop in the solidification of pure and alloy systems in microgravity environments, and to investigate the effect of solid-liquid interface anisotropy in...
This is a $198,225.75 grant award to the University of Louisville Office of Research & Innovation by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the "Development and Verification of a 3D Nucleate Pool Boiling Simulation Model Using PSI Data". The purpose is to utilize microgravity experimental data from the International Space Station to develop and validate a new numerical model for studying nucleate pool boiling phenomena under microgravity conditions. The model is expected to provide more accurate predictions compared to existing models by better resolving thermal boundary layers, using a novel multiphase flow algorithm, and conserving boiling mass flow rates. The verified model can be used to further investigate scenarios not tested on the ISS, such as vapor bubble departure and collapse, and optimize heated surface configurations for improved heat transfer. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
