From page 44...
... Dr. Ayyaswamy received the 2001 American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Heat Transfer Memorial Award in the science category "for many seminal contributions to such diverse fields of heat transfer as phase-change, plasma, bio, and natural convection, in particular to transport processes with the moving droplets and the thermal design of advanced industrial equipment." He is also the recipient of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Award­Aerospace Professional of the Year in 1997 "for outstanding contributions to the advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Aeronautics and Astronautics." As a professor of mechanical engineering and applied mechanics, he has conducted extensive research on phase-change transport phenomena and has co-authored the monograph Transport Phenomena with Drops and Bubbles.

... Since 1984 this included flow boiling of R-113 at various levels of heat flux and liquid subcooling, at various flow velocities, and various orientations relative to Earth's gravity field; and pool boiling of R-113 at various levels of heat flux and subcooling in long-term microgravity (2 minutes per condition) in the GAS on the space shuttle, for 5 flights, and a total of 45 experiments.
