Heat transfer during the piston-cylinder expansion of a gas

Creator:: Rodrigues, Matthew Jose
Abstract:: The expansion of a gas within a piston-cylinder arrangement is studied in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat transfer which occurs during this process. While the situation of heat transfer during the expansion of a gas has received considerable attention, the process is still not very well...

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...

Development of a process for fabricating high-aspect-ratio, meso-scale geometries in stainless steel

Creator:: Walker, Benjamin A.
Abstract:: Miniature energy and chemical systems (MECS) are miniature thermal, fluid, and chemical devices in the mesoscale size range between a sugar cube and a human fist. MECS take advantage of improved rates of mass and heat transfer that have been observed at the microscale. There are many potential applications for...

Analysis of heat transfer, including axial conduction, for laminar tube flow with arbitrary circumferential wall heat flux

Creator:: Faghri, Mohammad
Abstract:: This thesis is concerned with the analysis of heat transfer in a tube with forced flow under conditions of an arbitrary variation of wall heat flux both axially and circumferentially. This total study is separated into two distinct problems which are presented separately. The first is the case of a...

A thermal hydraulics analysis of a molybdenum production element for implementation in TRIGA reactors

Creator:: Byfield, Patrick
Abstract:: The metastable isotope of technetium-99 (Tc-99m) is an important diagnostic tool used in the field of nuclear medicine due to the isotope's 6.0 hour half-life, 140.5 keV γ-decay mechanism, and multiple oxidation states [1,2]. Approximately 70% of the world’s nuclear medicine procedures involve the use of Tc-99m [3]. The conventional...

Scaling analysis of the Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System for Gas-cooled Fast Reactors during a Depressurized Loss of Forced Convection Event

Creator:: Blake, Grant C.
Abstract:: The Direct Reactor Auxiliary Cooling System (DRACS) is a passive safety system capable of removing decay heat directly from the reactor core. Its modularity makes it scalable for use in reactors with various power levels. Work has previously been completed to support inclusion of the DRACS in liquid metal reactors...

Scaling of the Chinese HTR-PM Reactor Design for Licensing and Testing at the Oregon State University High Temperature Test Facility

Creator:: Cox, Jordan
Abstract:: The United States (US) Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the pebble-bed reactor as a high priority for US research with the end goal of licensing a pebble-bed reactor (PBR) for operation in the United States. Before this can be accomplished significant research must be done regarding the safety of...

A comparative study of the performance of pin finned heat sinks for cooling electronic components by natural convection

Creator:: Manolescu, Mircea Ion
Abstract:: A study was conducted to determine the heat transfer characteristics of pin finned heat sinks in natural convection. Three pin diameters were studied: 0.238 cm, 0.318 cm and 0.396 cm. The pins were attached to the base in two arrangements, triangular and rectangular, forming a horizontal array. Pin spacing was...

An experimental study of friction factors and mixed convection in the thermal entrance region of vertically narrow, horizontal rectangular channels for different heating conditions and aspect ratios

Creator:: Hong, Seung-Ho
Abstract:: Heat transfer and fluid mechanical behavior of water flowing horizontally in vertically-narrow rectangular channels was studied in this work. Friction factor and Nusselt number variations were determined experimentally for four different wall heating conditions, and for aspect ratios(height to width) of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Wall heating conditions...
