The Two Phase Flow (TPF) Thermal Control Flight Experiment is an integrated two-phase thermal control system designed to address capillary pumped loop (CPL) component and system performance issues in ...

Developing headers to uniformly distribute two-phase (liquid/vapor) flow is a difficult but important aspect in the design of advanced twophase thermal control systems. This paper documents ...

Description: Basic two-phase flow equations, homogeneous model, drift-flux model, flow regimes, pressure drop in two-phase flow. Nucleation and bubble dynamics, pool boiling, subcooled boiling, forced ...

Flow boiling and flow condensation in mini/micro channels is a very effective technique for meeting the high heat dissipating and heat acquisition requirements of thermal management systems. However, ...

Flow-accelerated or flow-assisted corrosion (FAC) is the uncontrolled dissolution and transportation of iron oxides in a steam-water cycle system that occurs in both single-phase locations (water) and ...

A heat pipe is a two-phase device that has excellent heat transfer capabilities. It can transfer heat over long distances with minimum temperature drops and no need for external power. In our ...
