Smart Phase-change Engineering and Capillary Transport for Resilient Applications: Advanced Thermal Management for Space Exploration, Battery Electric Vehicles and Marine Vessel Electrification

Obiettivo

Every electronic device, from satellites to EV batteries to electrified ships, generates heat that must be managed reliably. Evaporating liquids absorb heat; condensing vapour releases it elsewhere. Two-phase passive devices (e.g. heat pipes, pulsating heat pipes, loop heat pipes, vapour chambers) harness this cycle with no moving parts, no power, and no maintenance. Yet their design remains empirical: validated predictive tools do not exist across the gravity levels, fluids, and duty cycles real applications demand, forcing engineers into costly bespoke testing. SPECTRA (Smart Phase-change Engineering and Capillary Transport for Resilient Applications) unites 10 partners across 7 countries and 3 continents to build the first physics-based, multi-scale predictive framework for passive two-phase thermal systems, spanning space, BEV, and marine electrification. The consortium combines world-leading experimental, computational, manufacturing, and industrial expertise no single institution possesses. Four interlocking research pillars drive the programme: interfacial physics; high-fidelity CFD and machine-learning surrogate modelling; variable-gravity experiments including ESA parabolic-flight campaigns; and advanced manufacturing and application integration. Progress requires the physical co-location that only MSCA Staff Exchanges enables. Over 48 months, secondments embed researchers across disciplinary, sectoral, and geographic boundaries. Academics access cryogenic facilities, ESA-certified parabolic-flight rigs, and dedicated HPC clusters. Industry partners gain frontier research methods while contributing industrial qualification knowledge. Third-country partners bring rheology, wettability and manufacturing expertise unavailable in Europe. Outputs include open-access datasets, open-source CFD solvers, ML surrogate toolkits, and validated design rules for space, BEV, and marine applications, serving EU Green Deal, Space Strategy, and Battery Alliance priorities.
