  • An experimental study of flow boiling heat transfer enhancement in minichannels with porous mesh heating wall

    Creator:
    Wang, Hailei
    Abstract:
    A unique channel surface enhancement technique via diffusion-bonding a layer of conductive fine wire mesh onto the heating wall was developed and used to experimentally study flow boiling enhancement in parallel microchannels. Each channel was 1000 μm wide and 510 μm high. A dielectric working fluid, HFE 7000, was used...

  • 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...

  • Design, modeling and performance of miniature reciprocating expander for a heat actuated heat pump

    Creator:
    Herron, Thomas G.
    Abstract:
    A miniature reciprocating expander is being developed as part of a larger program to develop a heat actuated heat pump for portable applications. By utilizing the higher energy density of liquid hydrocarbon fuels relative to batteries, a heat actuated heat pump would be able to provide cooling for much longer...

  • Design, modeling, and performance of miniature reciprocating thermocompressor

    Creator:
    Edwards, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Research in the miniaturization of thermomechanical systems in recent years has proven to be both rewarding and challenging. Micro-scale devices have tremendous technological potential but come with a new set of design problems. One such problem is energy storage. Heat actuated systems, driven primarily by thermal energy, take advantage of...
