The geometric characterization and thermal performance of a microchannel heat exchanger for diesel engine waste heat recovery

Creator:

Yih, James S.

Abstract:

Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...

Design, fabrication and testing of a high temperature ceramic microreactor for synthesizing silicon nitride nanoparticles

Creator:

Jain, Kartavya

Abstract:

An alumina microreactor was designed and fabricated to study the synthesis of nanosized silicon nitride powder via the ammonolysis of SiO vapor at temperatures ranging from 1300°C to 1400°C. It is the first high temperature ceramic microreactor capable of operating at temperatures upto 1600°C. The microreactor was designed using 3D...

Numerical design of a high-flux microchannel solar receiver

Creator:

Rymal, Charles

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the design of several microchannel solar receiver devices for use in CSP (concentrated solar power) using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations. The goal is to demonstrate that, by taking advantage of the higher heat transfer coefficienct of microchannels, solar receivers can achieve higher efficiency than current receiver...
