Thermal Transport Characterization of Phase-Change Material (PCM) Infused in Annular Passage Filled with Additively Manufactured Metal Foam Obtained Through Octet-Shaped Unit Cell Reticulation Under M

PI: Prashant Singh, Mississippi State University

The Thermal Transport Characterization of PCM Infused in Annular Passage Filled with Additively Manufactured Metal Foam (AAMF) project aims to design, model, and test a novel phase change material (PCM) that combines high heat absorption of phase change material with high thermal conductivity of Octet-shaped metal foams. The research aims to enhance the fundamental understanding of phase change processes under micro-gravity conditions, and to address the PCM incorporation challenges through PCM infused in high thermal conductivity fibers arranged in an Octet-shape and fabricated through metal additive manufacturing.
