Abstract
Previous work, performed under the first part of a NASA study, compared various methods of venting only vapor from a cryogenic propellant tank under zero-gravity conditions where the orientation of liquid and vapor is unknown [1]. These studies showed that a heat-exchanger type system has the best potential for advanced cryogenic vehicles. Results of these tradeoffs have been presented earlier [2].
