The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $249,967.57 training grant contract to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. The contract is in response to NASA's Technology Roadmap TA-14.2.3 for thermal control systems and heat rejection in low-gravity conditions. The proposed research aims to develop a novel heat transfer mechanism utilizing Faraday instability to replace gravity-driven convection, with the goal of enhancing critical heat flux and delaying minimum heat flux in microgravity and other low-buoyancy environments. The research will involve theoretical modeling and experimental validation at UF and a NASA facility, potentially NASA Glenn. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations. As a leading public research university, UF has extensive experience conducting research and development activities for federal agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Agriculture.
