In the report, measured two-phase flow pressure drops under low-gravity conditions were compared with thermal gravitational modeling and scaling predictions. The objectives of the project were to assess the applicability (validity and restrictions) of the modeling/scaling approach, and to define useful terrestrial scaling experiments with the NLR ammonia test rig to support the development of the ESA two-phase (ammonia) experiment (TPX) in Get Away Special G-557 and the development of the mechanically pumped ESA (R114) Two-Phase Heat Transport System (TPHTS).
