To address the increasing need for power as space missions become longer and more complex, NASA’s FBCE developed a two-phase thermal management system which would be smaller, lighter, and remove heat more efficiently than the single-phase system. By comparing microgravity data against Earth’s gravity, and other force parameters, FBCE helped determine the minimum flow criteria for ensuring gravity independent flow boiling and condensation. Ultimately, the goal for FBCE was to examine how boiling and condensation differ in microgravity to aid in designing future heat-transfer systems. The data would be used to create an integrated two-phase flow boiling and condensation facility on the International Space Station (ISS). This facility would serve as the primary platform for obtaining two-phase flow and heat transfer data in different gravity conditions such as microgravity and partial gravity.
A property insurance company needed to develop a new data acquisition (DAQ) system for their fire test labs.
