Effect of Heat Exchanger Volume and Geometry on Power Output of a Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engine
DownloadFall 2022
This work presents the results of an investigation into heat exchanger design for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The aim of this study was to determine if there is an optimum heat exchanger geometry for producing maximum power output for a LTDSE. There are multiple factors...

Evaluation and Analysis of the Erosion Performance of Flame Spray-Coated Polyurethane Liners
DownloadFall 2016
Polyurethane has excellent wear resistance and is an effective protective liner against erosion caused by the impact of solid particles. However, similar to most polymeric materials, polyurethane has low thermal and electrical conductivity, and this limits its applicability for use in...

Spring 2013
The temperature distribution of a flame-sprayed metallic layer on glass fiber-reinforced epoxy flat plates was determined experimentally, analytically, and numerically. The composite samples consisted of flat composite glass fiber-epoxy plates fabricated by filament winding, a layer of garnet...
