Publisher's Synopsis
Spacecraft, space platforms and manned and unmanned space exploration of the future will require increasingly large sources of power for which a variety of conventional and novel systems are being designed. These systems will require heat exchangers as key conponents, as well as for waste heat rejection. Electronics will be utilized, which will aso require heat exchangers for cooling. To meet these future waste heat rejection requirements, it is important to encourage researchers and practitioners to develop innovative heat exchanger concepts for aerospace applications. The 46 papers in this volume disseminate state of the art information on current developments in the field. The choice of topics reflect the variety and diversity of recent progress in aerospace heat exchanger technology.
