Radiative Energy Transfer and Thermal Management in Advanced Space Power and Propulsion Systems.

Abstract

This work involved a theoretical study of radiation transfer in droplet clouds, for predicting the performance of the liquid droplet radiator. The effects on droplet sheet emissivity of non isotropic scattering by droplets and of the development of a temperature profile on the droplet sheet are shown to be small.
