Abstract:

A methodology for analyzing two-phase flow system in a microgravity evironment will
be developed.  The main objective of this project is to construct a computer model
which will be helpful in the evaluation of conceptual designs of thermal conditioning
systems for space crafts.  The model will also provide a tool for analyzing transients
due to start up, shutdown or accidental situation.  One of the major features of
the present study will be the use of very accurate thermodynamic property data in
the flow and heat transfer analysis.
