Fall 2013
This study used non-intrusive, optical based measurement techniques in a parametric study of a flash atomized jet. The bench scale water spray was operated at pressure ratios ranging from 6.80-17.0 and degrees of superheat of 20-80 °C. This broad range of parameters allowed for the evaluation of...

Bogno, A.-A., Riveros, C., Henein, H., Li, D.
This paper investigates amorphous phase formation and rapid solidification characteristics of a CoCr alloy. High cooling rate and high undercooling-induced rapid solidification of the alloy was achieved by impulse atomization in helium atmosphere. Two atomization experiments were carried out to...

Design and processing conditions of hypoeutectic Al-Cu-Sc alloys for maximum benefit of scandium
Download2017-01-01
Bogno, A.-A., Henein, H., Gallerneault, M.
Addition of Sc to Al-Cu is reported to be responsible for a high precipitation hardening upon heat treatment and serves as a good grain refiner. However, Scandium is presently very expensive, therefore, getting maximum benefit from a minimum addition would be economically of value. This work...

EFFECTS OF SCANDIUM ON HYPO-EUTECTIC ALUMINUM COPPER MICROSTRUCTURES UNDER LOW SOLIDIFICATION RATE CONDITIONS
Download2017-11-01
Bogno, A.-A., Valloton, J., Henein, H., Ivey, D.G., Locock, A.J., Gallerneault, M.
This work addresses the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-4.5 wt% Cu alloys containing 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 wt% Sc that were solidified under low cooling rate conditions (< 1ºC/s) and then heat treated. The samples were solidified in a differential scanning calorimeter before being heat...

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...

Bogno, A.-A., Henein, H., Ivey, D.G., Valloton, J., Reinhart, G., Sediako, D., Gallerneault, M.
This paper reports on the characterization of rapidly solidified Al-4.5 wt% Cu-xSc (x= 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 wt %). The effect of micro-additions of Sc (up to 0.4 wt %) was examined through microstructural analysis of rapidly solidified, as well as aged samples, by means of electron microscopy, x-ray...

Delshad Khatibi, P., Henein, H.
D2 tool steel powders were produced using a drop tube-impulse atomization technique. In order to measure the radiant energy and droplet size of atomized D2 steel droplets, DPV-2000 (Tecnar Automation Ltée, St. Hubert Quebec, Canada) was utilized. In-situ velocity and droplet size of the atomized...

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...
