Research summary
AI-generated

Issam Mudawar studies boiling, condensation, and other two-phase (liquid-and-vapor) heat transfer processes, including experiments conducted in microgravity aboard the International Space Station and with cryogenic fluids like liquid hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, and methane. Recent work increasingly applies machine learning methods (such as Gaussian Process Regression and XGBoost) to predict heat transfer behavior in small channels, alongside traditional experimental and computational approaches. This research supports applications such as spacecraft thermal management and cooling systems that operate at very low temperatures.
