Experiment arrives at the ISS to see if astronauts can keep things cool
The latest module is part of the second installment of the Flow Boiling and Condensation Experiment . The first experiment launched in 2021 was designed to study how water boiled, whilst the second experiment explores condensation reactions.
Both experiments are expected to remain onboard the ISS until 2025. Mudawar and his colleagues will gather data from the fluid experiments and compare it to data collected on Earth. The results will inform engineers on how to build effective ventilation, heating, and air conditioning devices if they can figure out what processes drive heat transfer in low gravity.
"Both boiling and condensation involve simultaneous flow of liquid and vapor in a flow channel.
The team also believe their research could also help develop new technologies for energy and power systems too. Spacecraft could be refueled more safely in orbit, for example, if scientists understand and can control the flow of cryogenic propellant in space. ®
