The transition from single-phase to two-phase thermal systems in future space vehicles demands a thorough understanding of phase change methods in reduced gravity, including microgravity. In this study, phase change methods like flow boiling, flow condensation and evaporative falling-films are investigated experimentally, theoretically and computationally.
The experimental part of the study consists of an investigation of the influence of inlet subcooling and two-phase inlet on flow boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux in a horizontal 2.5-mm wide by 5-mm high rectangular channel in different orientations with respect to Earth gravity using FC-72 as working fluid. High-speed video imaging is …
