Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering
Cryogenic Space Thermal Systems and Advanced Refrigeration Laboratory (CSTAR)
Led by Sunjae Kim · Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
What we study
This lab studies how liquids boil and condense in low gravity, which matters for keeping spacecraft and their fuel cool. Liquid hydrogen is a major focus, along with cooling for high-power electronics and computer simulations of these flows.

Current projects
Acoustic wave-assisted microgravity water electrolysis
Tests whether acoustic waves can help water electrolysis work in microgravity, for the life support system of spacecraft.
Cryogenic storage and thermal control for liquid hydrogen ships
Investigates cryogenic storage and two-phase thermal control for liquid hydrogen ships.
