To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.

China, India and the U.S. have all achieved landing on the Moon in the 2020s. Once there, their eventual goal is to set up a base. But a successful base – along with the spacecraft that will carry ...

Leading heat and mass transfer scientist John R Thome has published his latest twin-set "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase Heat Transfer and Flow I - Fundamentals and Methods" and "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase ...

A group of engineers is testing an air conditioning system in space, seeing how two basic processes work in an environment with less gravity than Earth in order to design a system for future habitats ...

Condensation and mould are two of the most damaging issues that can plague any home during the winter months. Now that ...

While traditionally, researchers have relied on empirical and semi-empirical correlations for predicting behaviors in two-phase flows, theoretical/analytical modeling ...

Condensation can form on windows when there’s a major difference in temperature indoors versus outdoors. When it’s on the outside, condensation is essentially dew, and disappears when the sun warms ...
