(2022-04-19)Effective thermal management is a challenge in spacecrafts due to demands of higher power operating sensors and devices in satellites resulting in high-temperature rise. The use of a two-phase passive heat transfer device, ...
-
(2014-04-24)The primary fuel used in light water nuclear reactors (LWRs) is uranium dioxide (UO2), which has a low thermal conductivity that causes a large thermal gradient across the fuel pin during operation. One proposed method to ...
