  • Synthesis and evaluation of PEO-coated materials for microchannel-based hemodialysis

    Creator:
    Heintz, Keely
    Abstract:
    The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...

  • Experimental Characterization of a Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Microchannel Solar Thermal Receiver

    Creator:
    L'Estrange, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Characterization of a microchannel solar thermal receiver for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) is presented. The receiver design is based on conjugate computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer simulations as well as thermo-mechanical stress analysis. Two lab scale receivers with a 2x2 cm² absorber area are fabricated and experimentally characterized -...
