This federal contract award to the University of Illinois, in the amount of $320,000.00, is for research on nano-textured surfaces covered with supersonically-blown polymer and metal-plated nanofibers for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer. The research will explore the use of these coatings under pool boiling conditions on hot surfaces at rest, under flow conditions, and on self-propelling surfaces. The self-propelling heaters aim to facilitate bubble removal under microgravity conditions. This contract is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) BIOLOGY ON SOUNDING ROCKETS AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES ON ALL PLATFORMS major program. The award is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation.
