  • Half Array Architecture for Advancing Microchannel Heat Recuperation to Market

    Creator:
    Brannon, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    High temperature microchannel heat recuperators (HTμRs) offer an efficient means of improving reactor process thermal efficiency by offering smaller form factors due to increased heat transfer surface area density and volumetric heat transfer rate over traditional heat exchanger designs. To date, HTμRs face cost and reliability challenges. In this work,...

  • A performance comparison of chainsaw bar lubricants

    Creator:
    Suryan, Levi J.
    Abstract:
    Chainsaws, an indispensable tool for modern forestry operations, rely on bar lubricant to prevent rapid wear of the chain and bar. Choice of bar lubricant must balance performance, cost, and biological impact. Many bar lubricants are available, but little published work exists that conclusively ranks the performance of these choices....
