Federal contract award
80GRC017F0107
IGF::OT::IGF THE PURPOSE FOR THE FLOW BOILING AND CONDENSATION EXPERIMENT (FBCE) IS TO BUILD AN ISS FLUIDS INTEGRATED RACK (FIR) INSERT TO SERVE AS A PLATFORM FOR OBTAINING TWO-PHASE FLOW HEAT TRANSFER DATA IN MICROGRAVITY. THE EXPERIMENT HARDWARE CONSISTS OF DATA ACQUISITION MODULES, A BOILING HEATER MODULE, TWO FLUID SYSTEM MODULES, AND TWO INTERCHANGEABLE MODULES DESIGNED TO STUDY FLOW BOILING AND CONDENSATION. EXPERIMENT SOFTWARE IS EXECUTE ON THE CCU AND EXPERIMENTAL DATA WILL BE RECORDED TO THE FIR-PROVIDED IPSU-CL. THE EXPERIMENT HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE IS EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2019 AND WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO THE FIR IN EARLY FY 2020.
