Abstract

6 pages

Provider Notes:In this study, a system level model is developed to characterize the solid-phase thermophilic aerobic reactor for advanced life support systems (ALSS). The model describes the relationships between a set of specific inputs and outputs that are chosen to reduce the bio-chemical complexity as well as compatible to other components/subsystems in the ALSS. Energy and mass balance are the underlying constraints. To demonstrate feasibility, the model will be validated by aggregate experimental data collected by the researchers in the NASA ALS solid waste research group.
