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...

Micro-bubble dynamics in two-phase flow through a micro-channel

Creator:

Shepard, Thomas G.

Abstract:

An experimental investigation into the behavior of micro-bubbles flowing through a micro-channel has been conducted. Experiments were performed within a rectangular micro-channel with dimensions of 5 cm x 13.2 mm x l30 jim. Bubbles were generated in an electrolyte solution by electrolysis at the lower channel wall near the inlet....
