Materials Challenges for High Performance Magnetocaloric Refrigeration Devices
Anders Smith,Christian R.H. Bahl,Rasmus Bjørk,Kurt Engelbrecht,Kaspar Kirstein Nielsen,Nini Pryds +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phenomenology and fundamental thermodynamics of magnetocaloric materials are discussed, as well as the hysteresis behavior often found in first-order materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
TauFactor: An open-source application for calculating tortuosity factors from tomographic data
TL;DR: TauFactor is a MatLab application for efficiently calculating the tortuosity factor, as well as volume fractions, surface areas and triple phase boundary densities, from image based microstructural data, without requiring high computational power.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on experience feedback and numerical modeling of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the key aspects of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems and compare the performance of different types of thermal storage systems, including two-tank molten salt technology and thermal stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Prediction of the Emissivity and Thermal Conductivity of Powder Beds
Samuel Sumin Sih,Joel W. Barlow +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for estimating the emissivity of the surface of a powder bed by knowing only the bed porosity and its solid emissivities is presented, and the model is compared with experimental measurements for powder beds of alumina, silicon carbide, and iron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass-Transfer Properties of Microbubbles. 1. Experimental Studies
Marshall D. Bredwell,R M Worden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a laser-diffraction technique to determine the interfacial area per unit gas volume, a.k.a. KL, for a synthesis-gas fermentation.

Particle Scale Simulation of Heat Transfer in Fluid Bed Reactors
Zongyan Zhou,Qinfu Hou,Aibing Yu +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the heat transfer of a hot sphere immersed in a fluidized bed is measured using an attached thermocouple, and then its heat transfer coefficient (HTC) can be determined.
Dissertation
A CO2 capture technology using carbon nanotubes with polyaspartamide surfactant
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of "uniformity" and "uncertainty" in the context of education.iii.iiiiii.
Active magnetic regenerator refrigeration with rotary multi-bed technology
TL;DR: In this paper, a rotary multi-bed active magnetic regenerator (AMR) was designed, built and used in experimental investigations, where the authors investigated the effect of the shape of this flow profile on temperature span and cooling power.
Modelling the Behaviour of a Reverse-Flow Catalytic Reactor for the Combustion of Lean Methane
TL;DR: In this article, an option for increasing reactor temperature is to use flow reversal to trap energy in the flow reversals of lean methane mixtures, which is a viable option for oxidizing lean methane streams.
