Influence of phase change on self-pressurization in cryogenic tanks under microgravity
Future operations of many fluid, thermal and power systems and their ability to store, transfer, and manage a variety of single or multiphase fluids in reduced gravity environment are of great importance. For many of these systems, cryogenic conditions will play an important role. Cryogenic vaporization, caused by heat leakage into the tank from the surrounding environment, is one of the main caus
