Investigation of Heat Transfer Processes in Multi-Sized Solar-Sintered Regolith for Lunar ISRU Program
Abstract
Effective Thermal Conductivity (ETC) prediction of sintered lunar regolith plays a crucial role in developing extraterrestrial thermal processing and construction techniques for In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) projects on the moon. Most existing literature has been focused on the packed lunar regolith without considering the sintering mechanism. Herein, we presented a mechanistic model to estimate the ETC of sintered lunar regolith. The …
