Modeling of a Heat Sink and High Heat Flux Vapor Chamber
by Aleksander Vadnjal
This book dissects the hype and hubris of the Mars One venture. Every aspect of the mission design is scrutinized, from the haphazard selection process to the unproven mission architecture. A controversial project, many professional astronauts consider Mars One a reckless attempt, yet it gained popular attention.This go-to reference guide provides the reader with insights into the myriad issues arising from the project's loss of funding, loss of sponsorship, loss of TV rights. It explains what c...

Thermo-Magnetic Systems for Space Nuclear Reactors (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Carlos O Maidana
Introduces the reader to engineering magnetohydrodynamics applications and presents a comprehensive guide of how to approach different problems found in this multidisciplinary field.An introduction to engineering magnetohydrodynamics, this brief focuses heavily on the design of thermo-magnetic systems for liquid metals, with emphasis on the design of electromagnetic annular linear induction pumps for space nuclear reactors. Alloy systems that are liquid at room temperature have a high degree of...

Describes a variety of spacecraft from past, present, and future, including the early rockets, the space shuttle, and possible space stations.
High Reynolds Number Flows Using Liquid and Gaseous Helium
The low viscosity of liquid helium makes it possible to construct compact wind tunnels that can sustain flows with extremely high Reynolds numbers; these have applications ranging from basic investigations of turbulence to practical testing of supersonic aircraft. Based on papers presented at a workshop held at the University of Oregon in October of 1989, the contributions in this volume discuss both the problems of the design of such wind tunnels and the relevant properties of helium. Contribut...
