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 $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, valued at $278,567.02, was granted by the Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct an experiment studying two-phase flow boiling in microgravity environments. The goal is to obtain a fundamental understanding of fluid mechanics and heat transfer in space to enable more compact and efficient heat exchangers for use in spacecraft. The experiment will use high-speed cameras, quantum dots, and a transparent testing apparatus to...
