Abstract
An analytical model of the fluid dynamics and heat transfer characteristics of the condensate within the rotating Bubble Membrane Radiator is developed. The steady‐state, three‐dimensional heat transfer and flow equations were reduced to a set of third‐order ordinary differential equations by employing similarity transformation techniques. These equations are then solved for the radial, axial, and angular flow distributions in the film condensate. Pressure, temperature, heat transfer, film thickness and mass flow rate distributions are also calculated. The analytical model is the basis of the SCRABLE code which is used both as a zero‐g design tool and a ground‐test bed analyzer.
