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,...

Dissertation
Force Prediction in the Compression Sealing of an Ultra-thin Elastoviscoplastic Membrane

Creator:

McNeff, Patrick Scot

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method for mechanically characterizing a 25 μm thick elastoviscoplastic hemodialysis membrane and for quantifying the force required to use that membrane in compression sealing. First, methods are developed for mechanically characterizing the thin elastoviscoplastic membrane. Then, a finite element model is...

Energy Analysis of Novel Data Center Cooling Technology : Evaporative Cooling System Operation and Microchannel Heat Exchanger Manufacturing

Creator:

Lajevardi, Babak

Abstract:

Worldwide, many organizations are pursuing higher energy efficiency by reducing power consumption of their processes, systems, and supporting infrastructure. The rapid growth of the information technology (IT) industry and the miniaturization of semiconductors have resulted in substantial increases in energy consumption and power density of IT equipment, and, subsequently, heat...

Determining the dimensional requirements of a reliable compression sealing method for use in microchannel hemodialysers

Creator:

Ward, Dustin K.

Abstract:

Almost 600,000 people in the United States were treated for End Stage Renal Disease in 2010. A majority of those people received hemodialysis from central medical facilities. It has been reported a better treatment option for these patients would be realized if the patients had more frequent hemodialysis treatments. A...

Development of an economical high temperature microchannel recuperator for solid oxide fuel cells

Creator:

Brannon, Samuel T.

Abstract:

To improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells, a secondary power cycle can be driven by the recuperation of exhaust gas heat. Microchannel recuperators are attractive for waste heat recuperation due to compact form factors which also minimize the mass of the expensive superalloys required. This paper introduces a...

Masters Thesis
Fabrication of precipitation-hardened aluminum microchannel cooling plates for adsorption-based hydrogen storage systems

Creator:

Pawar, Supriya V.

Abstract:

The need for clean and renewable fuel such as hydrogen is driven by a growing worldwide population and increasing air pollution from fossil fuels. One of the major barriers for the use of hydrogen in automotive industry is the storage of hydrogen. Physisorption is the most promising storage technique due...

Masters Thesis
Intermetallic microlamination for high-temperature microreactors

Creator:

Dewey, Tyler

Abstract:

Chemical microreactors offer opportunities for portable power generation, on-site waste remediation and point-of-use chemical synthesis. Much of the existing development of microreactor devices involves silicon-based microfabrication techniques. It is recognized that new refractory materials are important to realizing high-temperature microreactors. Requirements of these materials include high-temperature resistance, chemical inertness and...

Masters Thesis
Computer aided tolerance analysis and process selection for AutoCAD

Creator:

Pamulapati, Sairam V.

Abstract:

The fundamental objective of a design engineer in performing tolerance technology is to transform functional requirements into tolerances on individual parts based on existing data and algorithms for design tolerance analysis and synthesis. The transformation of functional requirements into tolerances must also consider the existing process capabilities and manufacturing costs...

Masters Thesis
Development of an automated capacitor discharge welding system

Creator:

Patnaik, Srinivas M.

Abstract:

Automation of Capacitor Discharge Welding (CDW) has not been investigated in industry due to the limited understanding of the process. The US Department of Energy's Albany Research Center (ALRC) has done an extensive study of the process and reported applications of welds in the manufacture of electro-mechanical products such as...

Masters Thesis
Comparison of two microvalve designs fabricated in mild steel using microprojection welding and capacitive dissociation

Creator:

Terhaar, Tyson J.

Abstract:

Since the dawn of the computer age, there has been a push to create miniature devices. These devices were initially integrated circuit (IC) devices to perform calculations for computers. As the technology progressed, the scope of the devices diverged to included microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices, meaning that the devices perform mechanical...
