Delil, A.A.M. (author)Two-phase flow heat transport systems (thermal busses) for the Columbus Space Platform and the Space Station are expected to incorporate systems to control the liquid flow rates into the evaporative cold plates. Such a control system consists of a sensor that monitors the cold plate (performance), a control algorithm and an actuator i.e. a valve...report 1986

Vreeburg, J.P.B. (author), Huijser, R.H. (author), Delil, A.A.M. (author)A somewhat abstract discussion of measurement processes is used to construct a table wherein various techniques for fluid physics diagnosis are collected. The usefulness of each technique for certain types of measurement problems in microgravity fluid physics is assessed. Detailed discussions of applicable techniques are collected in Appendices....report 1985

Delil, A.A.M. (author), Schmeitink, C.A. (author)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...report 1984

Delil, A.A.M. (author), Kant, P. (author)This memorandum describes the definition of a Variable Conductance Heat Pipe (VCHP) to be used for the experimental verification of the VCHP mathematical model developed at the NLR. Both typical design aspects of a versatile test VCHP and proper test conditions, that must lead to the model verification, are discussed in detail.report 1984

Delil, A.A.M. (author)Some results of space-related thermophysical research are reviewed. Theoretical and experimental work carried out by the NLR Space Division concerns: - the thermal conductivity of (anisotropic) sheet materials, and of metallic and CFRP honeycomb sandwich panels; the thermal resistance of joints, interstice materials, etc. - the design and...report 1984

Delil, A.A.M. (author)A uniaxial model for the transient performance of gas-loaded variable conductance heat pipes is being developed, partly under contract with the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs NIVR. The model has to be easily implementable in existing spacecraft thermal analyzer computer programs. So far, a steady-state version of the model is...report 1984

Delil, A.A.M. (author)Beschreven wordt de wijze van aanpak om de samenstelling van een MHD rookgas als functie van temperatuur en druk te bepalen. Kennis van deze samenstelling is onder meer noodzakelijk om de plaatsafhankelijke thermo-optische eigenschappen van het rookgas en de stralingsoverdracht in het generatorkanaal te kunnen berekenen. Tevens worden de...report 1983

Delil, A.A.M. (author)Radiation heat transfer is a non-negligible physical process in an open-cycle magnetohydrodymic generator. It constitutes an important part of the energy conservation law, one of the fundamental equations describing the behaviour of the MHD combustion gas in the generator. Radiation heat transfer is modelled following the generally accepted...report 1983

Delil, A.A.M. (author)Research performed at NLR (partly under contract with the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs NIVR) led to a promising variable conductance heat pipe concept based on electro-osmosis: the feedback controllable electroosmotic heat pipe (EOHP). Such an EOHP basically is a variable conductance heat pipe of which the control properties are...report 1982

Uniaxial model for gas-loaded variable conductance heat pipe performance in the inertial flow regimevan der Vooren, J. (author), Delil, A.A.M. (author)A uniaxial model for the thermal performance of a variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) has been developed at NLR. The model, so far, accounts for diffusion at the vapour/gas interface as well as for inertia! effects of the moving vapour, Calculations performed have shown that the diffusion effects are of minor importance in comparison with the...report 1981

van der Vooren, J. (author), Delil, A.A.M. (author), Sanderse, A. (author)A new uniaxial model for a gas loaded variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) is developed. This model takes into account the diffusion at the vapour-gas interface as well as the inertial effects of the moving vapour. Only steady-state conditions are considered. The generally accepted Edwards /Marcus model will be shown to be a first order...report 1980

Delil, A.A.M. (author)Electro-osmosis has been stoggested in literature as an additional pumping mechanism in heat pipes. The performance of a feedback controllable electroosmotic heat pipe (PCHP), analyzed in an earlier phase of this study, was reported, including corollary application areas (NLR TR 78I42 L), Unfortunately the heat transport capability of such an...report 1979

The mathematical description of the performance is considered to be in reasonable agreement with the measurements in the nonperforated case. For perforated blankets the pressure distribution inside the blanket...report 1977

Delil, A.A.M. (author)Electro-osmosis is a physical phenomenon that originates in electrokinetics i.e. the conveyance of the relative movement of a liquid and a solid by a potential drop at the interface. In fact it is the reversed process: application of an electric field across a solid-liquid interface results into movement of the liquid if the solid is fixed....report 1977
