The geometric characterization and thermal performance of a microchannel heat exchanger for diesel engine waste heat recovery

Creator:: Yih, James S.
Abstract:: Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...

Combustion Characteristics of a Jet Fuel and its Surrogate in MILD Conditions

Creator:: Weide, Parker D.
Abstract:: This research seeks to identify how changes in temperature and oxygen concentration in the reaction zone affects liftoff heights for moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion of a jet fuel and a surrogate fuel. MILD combustion offers a method of burning fuels with reduced CO and NOx production by...

Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

Creator:: Jost, William C.
Abstract:: A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

Applications of the thermal wave technique in liquid thermal conductivity measurements and flow field diagnostics

Creator:: Wang, Zhefu
Abstract:: The thermal wave technique has been explored for the use of liquid thermal conductivity measurement and flow property diagnostics in this dissertation. For liquid thermal conductivity measurements, an experimental technique based on the thermal wave approach is developed. A stainless steel strip functions as both a heating element and a...

Modeling and optimization of a combined cycle Stirling-ORC system and design of an integrated microchannel Stirling heat rejector

Creator:: Ingram-Goble, Robbie
Abstract:: The performance of a combined Stirling-ORC power cycle is evaluated, and an integrated microchannel heat exchanger is designed as an annular cold-side heat rejector for a free piston Stirling engine. Reasonable designs for a combined cycle can increased power output efficiency by 3 - 9% compared to that of a...

Design and performance of a small scale waste heat recovery unit

Creator:: Ward, Christopher
Abstract:: A microchannel heat exchanger was designed for diesel waste heat recovery and its performance was evaluated. The 21x15x8 cm unit was constructed from diffusion brazed stainless steel lamina and weighed 11 kg. Operating from a 13.4 kW generator with an exhaust temperature of 500 °C the unit delivered 11.1 kW...

Micro adiabatic combustion engine : concept development, simulation and combustion experiments

Creator:: Chewning, Scott R.
Abstract:: The current proliferation of portable electronic devices for personal communication, business and entertainment has created a demand for high energy density power supplies. A hydrocarbon fuel with a conversion efficiency of over 15% can provide greater energy density than current battery technology for these applications. Current micro-scale heat engines do...

Development of a small scale scroll expander

Creator:: Harada, Kevin J.
Abstract:: The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a versatile approach in the utilization of waste heat in the production of electricity, clean drinking water, and cooling. The efficiency of these cycles must be maximized to make them economical. Parameters for the optimization of ORCs such as evaporator and condenser temperature have...

Integrated dual cycle energy recovery using thermoelectric conversion and an organic Rankine bottoming cycle

Creator:: Miller, Erik W.
Abstract:: Hot engine exhaust and industrial process exhaust represents a resource that is often rejected to the environment without further utilization. This resource is prevalent in the transportation and industrial process sectors, but stationary engine-generator systems also typically do not utilize this resource. Engine exhaust is considered high grade heat and...
