Abstract: The mathematical model and boundary conditions of heat and mass transfer in a manned spacecraft habitation cabin are given at first. Then finite-element grid based control volume method is used to discrete the governing equation. The SUR based Gauss-Seidel point iteration method is applied to solve the entire algebraic equation set. Finally, the numerical analysis results of the cabin's flow/temperature/humidity distribution are obtained.
