Radiation is one of the most critical hazards for deep space missions. Among the sources of deep space radiation, the Galactic Cosmic Rays, which are composed of high energy ions travelling at relativistic speeds from ...

Packer fluid whose function is to prevent or tremendously reduce the heat transfer rate which would occur from the production tubing area to the production casing region is being studied in recent decades because of its ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) play a significant role in the field of thermal energy storage. The strength of PCM stems from their ability to keep a large amount of energy in a small temperature difference. In this study, ...

Steady and laminar natural convection heat transfer and fluid flow for power law fluids in an open channel between two parallel vertical plates that is entering from the bottom and exiting from top is studied. For the ...

Currently spacecraft uses aluminum alloys for primary structures which do not provide sufficient radiation protection for both the spacecraft electronics and for the astronauts in cislunar space. This thesis evaluates the ...

Phase change heat transfer has been an area of interest for decades due to its application in solar collectors, nuclear reactor cooling, buildings, vehicle engines, and others. Melting of phase change material around a ...
