Research abstract
Propose development of ceramic evaporative heat acquisition unit that uses the latent heat of a two-phase fluid to acquire high thermal loads, coupled with a heat pipe wicking mechanism to transport heat away from the leading edge. Approach enables a better integration of the thermal management system into the leading edge using an additive-based manufacturing process. Design overcomes capillary force and material yield limitations that have prevented heat pipes from being used in small radius leading edges at these high thermal fluxes and temperatures.
