Abstract [en]
Membrane technology’s performance in gas to liquid mass transfer has not been documented outside of Earth. Such a technology would be useful in dissolving gasses into liquids without requiring bubble formation, whilst also providing more control over the quantities of dissolved gasses. The author details the design and development decisions relating to the hardware and software of a custom-built experiment platform tasked with collecting data essential to the qualitative analysis of the mass transfer phenomenon occurring from gas to liquid media through a synthetic hydrophobic nano-porous membrane in a range of simulated gravitational environments, through planned parabolic flights. Constraints relating to the interaction between the experiment environment and the mass transfer phenomenon are discussed. Testing of the system hardware is shown and discussed.
