  • Design and testing of fabric composite heat pipes for space nuclear power applications

    Creator:
    Kiestler, William C.
    Abstract:
    Conventional stainless steel - water and ceramic fabric composite water heat pipes have been built and tested. The tests have been conducted to compare the performance characteristics between conventional and fabric composite heat pipe radiators for space nuclear power heat rejection systems. The fabric composite concept combines a strong ceramic...

  • An investigation of fabric composite heat pipe feasibility issues

    Creator:
    Marks, Timothy S.
    Abstract:
    The design of a fabric composite heat pipe has been completed. It is composed of two end caps, between which a fluid containment liner composed of metal foil and an outer structural layer composed of a ceramic fabric is stretched. The interior of the heat pipe is layered with a...
