High Temperature Electrical Properties of Ceria-Based Ceramics for Use as Electrodes in Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generators

Creator:

Bowen, Michael S.

Abstract:

Determining the electrical properties of ceria-based materials is important for their use as electrodes in hot-wall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generators with wall temperatures greater than 1500 ̊C. The electrical conductivity of a material can be used in models for predicting the performance of generator designs. More specifically, the temperature dependent...

EXCEEDS 100 S/M, AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY VALUES EVALUATED AT 1500 ˚C USING A LINEAR INTERPOLATION
The Use of Fractal-Like Bifurcating Flow Channels for Biological Targeted Cooling

Creator:

Stottlemyre, Wyatt

Abstract:

In the wake of climate change, the risk of heat related illnesses has continuously increased over the past several decades. While thermal management solutions have continued to improve, there is a need for efficient cooling systems that conform with the human body. This study combines the solutions from fractal-like flow...
