Exergetic Analysis of Spacecraft Thermal Control Systems with a Heat Store

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Thermodynamic analysis of complex systems is proposed on the basis of efficiency indices taking account of the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of exergy (a form of energy that may be converted to other forms). The following efficiency indices are formulated: Kr1, the unit surface area of the radiant heat exchanger; and Kr2, the unit mass of the thermal control system.
