| OSCILLATING HEAT PIPES (OHPS) HAVE PROVEN TO BE PROMISING THERMAL CONTROL DEVICES CAPABLE OF POTENTIALLY PROVIDING HEAT TRANSFER SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE DYNAMIC NEEDS OF TODAY S TECHNOLOGY. HOWEVER, UNLIKE OTHER THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEMS, A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE FLUID MOTION AND OSCILLATION WITHIN AN OHP S WINDING STRUCTURE, AND HOW TO ACTIVELY CONTROL IT, SEVERELY LIMITS THE PERFORMANCE POSSIBILITIES OF ITS INTEGRATION INTO CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES SEEN IN THE AEROSPACE, DEFENSE, AND COMMERCIAL SECTORS. BY USING ELECTROHYDRODYNAMIC (EHD) INDUCTION PUMPING S TRAVELING ELECTRIC WAVE MECHANISM, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH AIMS TO DEVELOP FURTHER UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TRAVELING ELECTRIC WAVE AND THE OSCILLATING FLOW PRESENT IN OHPS. FROM THIS, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE OPTIMIZED SOLUTIONS TO ACTIVE THERMAL CONTROL AND BUILD UPON THE CURRENT CAPABILITIES OF BOTH TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE CURRENT INDUSTRY. THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEVELOP A NEXT-GENERATION, SMART, ACTIVE HEAT PIPE WITH A FOCUS ON OHPS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, I WILL DEVELOP A MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND DETAILED EXPERIMENT TO REPLICATE AND REPRODUCE RESULTS FROM EXISTING STUDIES ON OHPS. NEXT, THE PHENOMENA PRESENT IN EHD INDUCTION PUMPING ASSISTED OHPS WILL BE MODELED. FROM THIS, I AIM TO FABRICATE A DETAILED EHD INDUCTION PUMPING ASSISTED OHP EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND ANALYZE THE RESULTS AS THEY COMPARE TO THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL. ONCE BOTH THE THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES COINCIDE, ANOTHER GOAL WILL BE TO EXPLORE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHODS TO EMBED EHD INDUCTION ELECTRODES INTO OSCILLATING HEAT PIPES, TO REDUCE WEIGHT, ACCOUNT FOR GEOMETRIC COMPLEXITIES, AND IMPROVE EFFICIENCY. FINALLY, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH AIMS TO PROVE THE VIABILITY OF AN EHD INDUCTION PUMPING ASSISTED OHP DEVICE AS IT PERTAINS TO INTEGRATION INTO SPACE TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS SATELLITES. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PROPOSED WORK WILL FURTHER DEVELOP THE THERMAL CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT NASA IS VERY INTERESTED IN, SUCH AS THOSE THAT CAN ACTIVELY REMOVE HEAT FROM THE EVOLVING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THEIR SPACE TECHNOLOGIES. | WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE | $277,970 | NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION | NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION | — | — | AR21 | Jul 23, 2019 | Aug 1, 2019 | Jul 31, 2024 | ||

| WE PROPOSE A MICRO-GRAVITY FLIGHT CAMPAIGN TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF GRAVITY ON THE ELECTRIC FORCES GOVERNING THE HEAT FLUX ACQUISITION AND FLUID MANAGEMENT PHENOMENON AND TO DEMONSTRATE ENHANCED THERMAL MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES IN A RELEVANT ENVIRONMENT. THE RESULTS OF THE MICRO-GRAVITY FLIGHT CAMPAIGN WILL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL DATA FOR THE DESIGN OF THE ISS FLIGHT EXPERIMENT SCHEDULED FOR 2021 TO PERFORM LONG-TERM INVESTIGATION OF THE SUBJECT PHENOMENA AND TECHNOLOGY. ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN LIQUID FILM BOILING MAKES USE OF TWO COMPONENTS OF THE EHD FORCE GENERATED BY THE APPLICATION OF A DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRIC FIELD TO A DIELECTRIC FLUID. THIS TECHNIQUE ENHANCES TWO PHASE HEAT TRANSFER BY PROVIDING A CONSTANT LIQUID WORKING FLUID SOURCE (THUS ALLEVIATING DRY OUT) THROUGH EHD CONDUCTION PUMPING AND ENHANCING VAPOR DEPARTURE VIA THE DIELECTROPHORETIC FORCE. THE INVESTIGATORS PROPOSE TO ACQUIRE EXPERIMENTAL HEAT TRANSFER DATA IN A MICRO-GRAVITY ENVIRONMENT (WEEK LONG MICRO GRAVITY AIRPLANE) THAT WILL BE USED TO DESIGN FOR AN UPCOMING ISS EXPERIMENT. THE ISS EXPERIMENT WILL PROVIDE LONG TERM MICRO-GRAVITY DATA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THERMAL MANAGEMENT HARDWARE FOR INFUSION AS DISCUSSED IN THE PROPOSAL. | WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE | $193,122 | NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION | NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION | — | — | AR21 | Aug 27, 2018 | Jun 15, 2018 | May 31, 2020 | ||

| ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN LIQUID FILM BOILING A TWO PHASE HEAT TRANSPORT DEVICE DRIVEN BY ELECTRIC CONDUCTION MECHANISM IS AN INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION EXPERIMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF GRAVITY ON ELECTRICALLY GENERATED TWO-PHASE FLOW AND ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN LIQUID FILM BOILING. THE PROPOSED WORK IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE INVESTIGATORS TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE THE FLIGHT EXPERIMENT HARDWARE. WE PROPOSE THIS EFFORT BASED UPON THE SUCCESSES OF OUR CURRENT PROJECT, WHICH IS NASA GRANT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NNX12AR32G ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN LIQUID FILM BOILING A TWO PHASE HEAT TRANSPORT DEVICE DRIVEN BY ELECTRIC CONDUCTION MECHANISM. ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL EFFORT EXTENDS THROUGH FEBRUARY 2017, WE HAVE COMPLETED TASKS AND ACHIEVED THE TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC MILESTONES OF THIS PROJECT. THAT IS, WE HAVE PASSED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCIENCE CONCEPT REVIEW AND RECEIVED THE AUTHORIZATION TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT STAGE OF THE EXPERIMENT DEVELOPMENT. THEREFORE, THE PI AND CO PI SUBMIT THIS PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THE FLIGHT EXPERIMENT HARDWARE WITH AN EFFECTIVE START DATE OF OCTOBER 2016. THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXPERIMENT FLIGHT HARDWARE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, CONDUCT THE EXPERIMENT ON BOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, SUPPORT THE OPERATIONS OF THE EXPERIMENT AND EVALUATE THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA. THE PROPOSED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE IS OCTOBER 2016 TO SEPTEMBER 2021. THE ROBUST COLLABORATION BETWEEN WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER CAN PROVIDE BOTH STATE OF THE ART THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION AND DELIVER FLIGHT QUALIFIED EXPERIMENTAL HARDWARE; THUS, THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS BOTH INVESTIGATIVE AND HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT TASKS. THE PI WILL MAINTAIN OVERALL TECHNICAL DIRECTION OF THE EXPERIMENT DEVELOPMENT; HOWEVER, THE CO I WILL SUPPORT THE FLIGHT EXPERIMENTAL HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH GLENN RESEARCH CENTER. | WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE | $549,999 | NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION | NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION | — | — | AR21 | Sep 21, 2016 | Oct 1, 2016 | Feb 28, 2022 | ||
