This whitepaper focuses on the scientific rationale and motivation for studying phase change processes to improve the performance of next-generation spacecraft thermal management systems, sub-critical cryogenic systems and life support systems. Regarding thermal management, heat transfer rates (per unit fluid mass) for example can be increased by an order of magnitude compared to that associated with singlephase flow by taking advantage of the latent heat of phase change.
