  • Experimental simulations of a rotating bubble membrane radiator for space nuclear power systems

    Creator:
    Al-Baroudi, Homan Mohammed-Zahid
    Abstract:
    A rotating, flat plate condensation experiment has been developed to investigate the heat of the Rotating Bubble Membrane Radiator (RBMR). The RBMR is a proposed heat rejection system for space applications which uses working fluid condensation on the inside surface of a rotating sphere to reject heat to space. The...

  • Design of a Self-Regulating Deep Space Nuclear Reactor

    Creator:
    Robinson, Matthew Loren
    Abstract:
    An enabling technology for long duration, deep space missions is the availability of a high power, long-lived power supply. The goal of this work is the design of a self-regulating deep space nuclear reactor. The design objectives are to produce 250 kWth for a 25-year period using the presence of...
