Liquid gauging technologies for space stations utilization
Abstract
Technologies apt to determine the liquid content in reservoirs in near zero gravity environment are discussed in the framework of space stations. After having classified the various aspects of the methods, particular attention is paid to a number of thermodynamics methods. The mathematical models are briefly described, and some preliminary numerical simulations are presented to describe the response capability of each method.
