  • Reactive Phase Change Materials for Enhanced Thermal Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Drake, Griffin S.
    Abstract:
    Effective storage and release of low-to-moderate temperature thermal energy (e.g. solar thermal or geothermal) could be transformational for applications such as space heating/cooling, domestic hot water, or off-grid cooking. Good candidates for thermal energy storage in this temperature range include latent heat storage (LHS) systems and thermochemical energy storage (TCES)...

  • Particle Movement in a multi-chamber fluidized bed

    Creator:
    Tan, Chuan Hao
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project is to better characterize particle movement in a multi-channel fluidized bed. Fluidized beds are commonly used for heat transfer with the rapid fluidization and homogeneous heat distribution. By characterizing this particle flow, it would allow for an improved understanding of the heat transfer mechanisms within...

  • An Investigation into the Production of Longer Hydrocarbons, Synthesis Gas, and Ammonia via a Nonthermal Plasma Microreactor

    Creator:
    Reddick, Ian T.
    Abstract:
    Nonthermal electrical plasmas can allow energy intensive reactions to occur without the use of high operating temperatures or pressures. This is because the collisions of electrons accelerated through an electric field with molecules is the cause of reactions as opposed to thermal collisions between molecules. In this study, the production...
