Design Blueprint: A Loop-Heat-Pipe Radiator System for Habitat Heat Rejection: Radiating Area, Mass and Redundancy
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24145250): This paper presents a computed design for a two-phase loop-heat-pipe system that carries habitat waste heat to external radiators, where it is radiated to space, with no pumped single-phase loop as the primary transport mechanism. Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
