             abstract = "Drop tubes are one of the most suitable and low cost options to 
                         provide a microgravity environment. The study of heat transfer 
                         during the free fall of alloy droplets is important to optimize 
                         the materials solidification conditions in drop tubes. In this 
                         paper the influence of the temperature gradient inside a drop tube 
                         using models of heat transfer by convection alone and by 
                         convection plus radiation was investigated and applied to the 
                         solidification of BiSn eutectic alloys in a 3.5 m length drop tube 
                         installed at Associate Laboratory of Sensors and Materials located 
                         at Brazilian Space Research Institute (LABAS/INPE). The study 
                         showed that the heat transfer model by convection plus radiation 
                         obtained better results when compared with experimental data. 
                         Besides, the model findings help to predict if the droplet will 
                         fully solidify before reaching the end of the drop tube. This is a 
                         very important data for short length drop tubes.",
