Cooling In Space
S o thermodynamics says that no engine can be 100% efficient, it means that we can't possibly make an engine which can convert all the energy that is stored in its fuel into usable work. We are going to produce some waste in the form of heat. This wast heat has to be dumped out of the engine or else the engine will melt. This fact doesn't just apply for engines but for any type of mechanism as well. Cooling on earth is a fairly simple thing because most things are cooled by the air, anything which can't be cooled statically by air has to aided by a air radiator. Basically the heat from a heat source is absorbed by a coolant which then carries the heat into a mesh of coolant pipes (an water to air heat exchanger) which increases the surface area in which the coolant through the pipes is exposed to the air. A fan can be added to up the flow of air. This is a very simple liquid cooled system which works for most kinds of things on earth.If more cooling is required then we can
