AEROSPACE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER RESEARCH FOR SPACECRAFT THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
要約
The paper focuses on heat and mass transfer research issues
pertaining to the current development of, spacecraft active
thermal control systems, i.e, the development of two-phase
heat transport system technology. Topics (of paramount
interest) discussed are: the development and the in-orbit
demonstration of Capillary Pumped Loop and Loop Heat Pipe
technology, the thermal/gravitational scaling of two-phase heat transport systems, including the aspects of two-phase flow pattern mapping, and the prediction of gravity level dependent condensation, plus the development of the various two-phase heat transport system components like vapour quality sensors, high efficiency low pressure drop condensers, and rotatable thermal joints.
