  • 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,...

  • Adhesive microlamination protocol for low-temperature microchannel arrays

    Creator:
    Paulraj, Prawin
    Abstract:
    A new adhesive bonding method is introduced for microlamination architectures, for producing low-temperature microchannel arrays in a wide variety of metals. Sheet metal embossing and chemical etching processes have been used to produce sealing bosses and flow features, resulting in approximately 50% fewer laminae over traditional methods. These lamina designs...

  • Manufacturing Process Design for a Stamped Microchannel High-Temperature Recuperator

    Creator:
    Song, Chuankai
    Abstract:
    Microchannel high temperature recuperators have the advantage of higher heat transfer coefficients and lower size and weight than traditional high temperature recuperators. However, the industrial application of microchannel recuperators are restricted by the high cost of photochemical machining and diffusion bonding. The objective of this paper is to introduce a...

  • Manufacturing Process Design and Electrically-Assisted Embossing of a Microchannel Solar Receiver

    Creator:
    McNeff, Patrick S.
    Abstract:
    Manufacturing process design (MPD) represents a design-oriented approach to manufacturing engineering. In this dissertation, Haynes 230 (H230), a solid solution-strengthened Ni-based superalloy, was chosen to meet the material requirements of a microchannel solar receiver (MSR) needed to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of solar thermal power generation. An...

  • 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...

  • Foam-Core Meniscus Coating and Diffusion Bonding for Energy Applications

    Creator:
    Saranam, Venkata Rajesh
    Abstract:
    In the second chapter, a foam-core meniscus coating process was developed for retrofitting 100 nm-scale sol-gel anti-reflective coatings onto in-field solar panels through the deposition, evaporation, and curing of wet films.Advantages of this technique include the means to control fluid flow relative to substrate motion and the ability to conform...

  • 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...

  • A Manufacturing Process Design for Producing a Membrane-based Energy Recovery Ventilator with High Aspect Ratio Support Ribs

    Creator:
    Kawula, Steven P.
    Abstract:
    Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems represent nearly half of building energy usage in the United States. Recent building regulations requiring increased air turnover within buildings will result in even greater air conditioning usage. To alleviate these concerns, membrane-based heat-and-moisture exchangers known as energy recovery ventilators have been developed to...
