High-Resolution Experimental Measurements and Mechanistic Modelling of Saturated Cryogenic Pool Boiling Heat Transfer

Refueling cryogenic rockets in low Earth orbits has the potential to significantly enhance the duration and the reach of future space missions. However, the development of such capabilities is not without challenges, which exacerbated by the complexity and the cost of testing such equipment in micro...
