Predicting the Force Needed to Create a Compression Seal in an Ultrathin Elastoviscoplastic Membrane
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a finite element model is developed, and experimentally validated, for predicting the force required to produce a compression seal between a polycarbonate sealing boss and a 25-μm thick elastoviscoplastic ...
Improving the Energy Efficiency of Adsorption Chillers by Intensifying Thermal Management Systems in Sorbent Beds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop a strategy for miniaturizing heat exchangers (HXs) used for the thermal management of sorbent beds within adsorption refrigeration systems. The thermal mass of the microchannel ...
The Hermeticity of Compression Seals in Microchannel Hemodialyzers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most end stage renal disease patients receive kidney hemodialysis three to four times per week at central medical facilities. Athome kidney dialysis increases the convenience and frequency of hemodialysis treatments which ...
A Multilayer Strategy for Improving the Abrasion Resistance of Silica Nanoparticle Based Motheye Antireflective Coatings on Glass
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Motheye antireflective coatings (ARCs) are based on periodic or stochastic features with dimensions below the wavelength of visible light which can be used to produce a gradient index of refraction between air and the ...
High Production Rate Synthesis of CdS Nanoparticles Using a Reverse Oscillatory Flow Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A reverse oscillatory flow (ROF) mixing system is discussed having a reaction channel 460 خ¼m high by 152 mm wide for high flow rate processing of nanoparticle (NP) chemistries. The ROF system is demonstrated to produce ...
A Heuristic for Designing Hybrid Compact Heat Exchangers for Nuclear Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hybrid compact heat exchangers (HCHEs) are a potential source of innovation for intermediate heat exchangers in nuclear industry, with HCHEs being designed for generation IV nuclear power applications. Compact heat exchangers ...
A Microchannel Heat Exchanger Produced From a Metal Matrix Composite by Hybrid Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Inkjet Printing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper explores the production of an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) 304L stainless steel microchannel heat exchanger (HX) using a hybrid additive manufacturing process of laser powder bed fusion and inkjet printing. ...
A FeCrAl-Al2O3 Composite Produced Via Laser Powder Bed Fusion of a Mixed Powder for Porous Catalyst Scaffolds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study proposes a novel approach for synthesizing and etching bicontinuous FeCrAl-Al2O3 composites as a means for replacing FeCrAl foams as catalyst scaffolds in biodriven alcohol reactors for jet-fuel production. ...
