Some considerations concerning two-phase flow thermal bus systems for spacecraft

This memorandum presents some considerations concerning thermal bus systems for multihundred kilowatt thermal utilities for space platforms or space stations. The objectives are to assess the state of the art and to identify possible subjects for thermal engineering research. Based on this identification, possible subjects for future thermal...
