Numerical investigation on the heat transfer performance inside sublimator driven coldplate for aerospace applications

Sublimator offers effective heat rejection for the spacecraft, which work in warm environments or with peak heat loads, by evaporating or sublimating water into the vacuum. The sublimator type studied in this paper is sublimator driven coldplate, which is proposed in recent years and is currently under research. Many conclusions have yet to be revealed. In this research, two common feed water gaps first were established. Based on the above, the...
