Development of PCM coupled heat pipe for space application
Axially grooved aluminium-ammonia heat pipes are extensively used for the thermal control of satellites. Heat pipes efficiently transfer waste heat from the electronic packages, housed inside the satellite, to thermal ... -
Hybrid Model for Micro-channel Heat Exchangers used in sCO2 Brayton Power Blocks
Studies have shown that Micro-channel Heat Exchangers (MCHEs) commonly referred to as Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHEs) are suitable candidates for recuperators and gas coolers used in sCO2 power blocks. CFD and 1-d ... -
Microstructure, mechanical behavior, and thermal stability of in-situ polymer-derived ceramic reinforced Al-based composites
Al-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) show a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes them attractive for the aerospace and automobile industries. The reinforcements for the same have conventionally been micron-sized ... -
Thermal Turbomachinery Design for Closed Thermal Cycles and Multiple Fluids
Closed-cycle gas turbines can complement conventional power conversion systems due to their potential for improved efficiencies, compact system layouts, and the ability to exploit non-fossil fuel energy sources which leads ... -
Vibration mitigation in spacecraft components using Stewart platform and particle impact damping
A spacecraft encounters two regimes of vibrations: launch loads and on-orbit loads. Both these loads propagate through the spacecraft structure, which is primarily made up of honeycomb sandwich. The launch loads that are ...
