Interphase Transport Phenomena Laboratory

The ITP Laboratory conducts research in the area of interphase heat, mass and momentum transfer.  Most recently the ITP group has worked on modeling and measurement of zero gravity two phase flow systems.  The laboratory builds research hardware and conducts extensive experimental programs in the NASA zero gravity aircraft. Examples of projects include space shuttle testing of a loop heat pipe, zero gravity development of a passive, vortex gas liquid separator for a space station experiment, and the development of a gas separator accumulator for a space nuclear reactor system.
