Industrial Solid-State Energy Harvesting: Mechanisms and Examples
This paper explores the potential for solid-state energy harvesting in industrial applications. In contrast to traditional heat recovery, the output of solid-state devices is electricity, which can be readily used in virtually any plant. The progress in Continue reading
Microscale Investigation of Thermo-Fluid Transport in the Transition FIL, Region of an Evaporating Capillary Meniscus Using a Microgravity Environment
In order to enhance the fundamental understanding of thin film evaporation and thereby improve the critical design concept for two-phase heat transfer devices, microscale heat and mass transport is to be investigated for the transition film region using Continue reading
Detection of Frazil Ice at Water Intakes at Träbena Power Station
Frazil ice is a phenomenon that takes place in cold regions when the water of rivers, lakes or oceans is cooled under 0ºC. Several times during winter, frazil ice can appear at Continue reading
Refrigeration System Performance Using Alternative Refrigerants
When running a refrigeration system, the refrigerant will always leak into the atmosphere in various ways. The leakage of currently used refrigerants have a non-negligible impact on the Continue reading
Thermal Spraying by HVAF as an environmentally friendly alternative to Electrolytic Hard Chrome Plating of Piston Rods
The increased environmental focus concerning hazardous substances used in production process has led to Continue reading
Performance Improvement from Single to Multi Latent Thermal Energy Storage System combined Water Heater
In numerous energy systems there are discrepancies between the energy supply and demand. One such system is domestic water heater. The hot water heater is Continue reading
Mini High Temperature Test Unit
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has invested considerable effort to develop new standard for nuclear grade HEPA filters that can withstand high temperatures along with methods to optimally test not only the experimental filter Continue reading
Energy Management in Buildings
This report is the result of a minor field study (MFS) performed in the Dominican Republic. The country strongly relies on energy sources from adjacent countries, currently the nation depends on fossil fuel for Continue reading
Competitive Thermokinetics and Non-linear Fire Behaviour
The prediction of the behavior and spread of fires in the bush has always been fraught with a large number of unknowns, not the least of which has been the Continue reading
Comparison of Stress Behavior in Thermal Barrier Coatings Using FE Analyses
The objective of this project was to compare the stress behaviour in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with FE analyses in both 2D and 3D. The main focus was to Continue reading
