  • 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...

  • 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...
