Visualization of flow boiling in an annular heat exchanger under reduced gravity conditions /

This work examines the effects of gravitational acceleration on the flow boiling process. A test facility focusing on an annular heat exchanger was designed, built out of borosilicate glass, and flown on NASA's KC-135 reduced gravity airplane creating unique visual and quantitative data. Thes...
