Design & Optimization of Organic Rankine Cycle Solar-Thermal Powerplants
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2006)Solar-thermal powerplants have enjoyed limited success in the energy market to date. The ability to better characterize the performance of existing solar-thermal technologies as well as investigate the potential of ... -
Design and Test of a 1.8K Liquid Helium Refrigerator
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)A liquid helium refrigeration system is being developed that will be capable of testing superconducting specimens at temperatures down to 1.8 K, currents up to 15 kA, and magnetic fields from 0 to 5 Tesla. The ... -
Design of a Cryogenic Turbine for a Hybrid Cryocooler
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2006)The hybrid pulse tube-reverse Brayton cycle cryocooler has the potential for cooling to temperatures on the order of 10 K. By using the rectifying interface which converts the oscillating pulse tube flow to continuous ... -
The Design of Better Household Refrigerators with Improved Energy Consumption
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1999)A computer simulation program was developed to model the performance of a side-by-side refrigerator-freezer unit. The program, which employs a quasi steady-state model, is able to predict the refrigeration capacity, ... -
