2. Mini Heat Pipe (MHP) - Missão Centenário
Period:
2006 / 2006
Description:
This project focused on testing the steady state thermal behavior of the mini heat pipe in micro-gravity environment. More specifically, the behavior of a new capillary structure, created by LABTUCAL, was evaluated. Although the laboratory results were favorable, the micro-gravity device testing is essential because gravity affects the physical phenomena occurring inside the heat pipes, such as ebullition, two-phase flow, and condensation.
