What Are the Best Books on Thermal Control of Spacecraft?

AI Thread Summary
Key recommendations for books on spacecraft thermal control include "Spacecraft Thermal Control Handbook" edited by David G. Gilmore, which covers fundamental technologies and cryogenics. Another notable title is "Fundamentals of Space Systems," which provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects of space systems, including thermal control. "Spacecraft Thermal Control, Design, and Operation," edited by Howard E. Collicott and Paul E. Bauer, compiles technical papers from significant aerospace conferences. The discussion also touches on software for thermal analysis and the application of thermal control paints on spacecraft structures. These resources are essential for understanding and implementing effective thermal control in spacecraft design and operation.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
