Creator:: Grimm, Brian A.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanical behavior of composite materials requires extensive knowledge of fracture behavior as a crack approaches an interface between the bulk material and the reinforcement structure. Overall material toughness can be greatly influenced by the propensity of an impinging crack to propagate directly through the substrate or deflect along...

Creator:: Jacob, Tabeel A. and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: This article investigates the in-tube, superheated, saturated, and subcooled condensation of zeotropic refrigerant mixture R454C. R454C is proposed to replace R404A for commercial refrigeration applications. Quasi-local heat transfer coefficients were measured in a 4.7 mm horizontal tube at mass fluxes ranging from 100 to 500 kg m−2 s−1 at three different saturation...

Creator:: Bukshaisha, Ahmad A. and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Membrane based heat pumps systems have attracted the attention of many research groups as a potentially more environmentally friendly alternative to vapor compression systems for space cooling. Several prototype systems have been developed, with reported claims of Energy Efficiency Ratios (EER) approaching 26. At present, no detailed analysis is publicly...

Creator:: Jacob, Tabeel A., Matty, Ethan P., and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: The objective of this paper was to measure and compare the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R404A and two potential replacement candidate refrigerants with a lower global warming potential, R448A and R452A. Experiments were conducted inside a 4.7 mm horizontal tube at mass fluxes ranging from 100 to...

Creator:: Jajja, Saad A., Sequeira, Jessa M., and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: There is growing interest to use supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as a working fluid in thermal management applications. This study investigates the thermal-hydraulic performance of microchannel heat sinks as a function of flow channel geometry and orientation at operating conditions representative of electronics cooling applications. Three different experimental test sections,...

Creator:: Jajja, Saad A., Zada, Kyle R., and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) experiences a drastic change in its thermophysical properties near the thermodynamic critical point. A non-linear thermophysical property variation can influence the heat transfer behavior of sCO2 which is not predicted well by conventional single phase heat transfer theory. This can become a major hindrance in the...

Creator:: Jacob, Tabeel A., Matty, Ethan P., and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Heat transfer coeﬃcients and frictional pressure drop values are experimentally measured during condensation of R134a and its proposed low global warming potential (GWP) replacement, R450A. R450A is a non-ﬂammable zeotropic mixture of R134a and R1234ze (42/58% by mass). Experiments were conducted in a horizontal tube (ID = 4.7 mm) for...

Creator:: Vanderputten, Michael A., Jacob, Tabeel A., Sattar, Maria, Ali, Nouman, and Fronk, Brian M.
Abstract:: Qualitative two-phase flow regime data are obtained from high-speed visualization of condensing flows of R-134a at mass fluxes from 75 to 150 kg m−2 s−1 and quality from 0.1 to 0.8 in square microchannels (DH = 0.84 mm) cooled from a single side. Superheated R-134a is distributed into multiple parallel microchannels and then partially condensed, using...
