Low-Force Elastocaloric Refrigeration via Bending
Darin J. Sharar, Joshua Radice, Ronald Warzoha +2
Elastocaloric cooling has been identified as a promising alternative to high global warming potential vapor compression cooling. Two key bottlenecks to adoption are the need for bu…
High-Capacity High-Power Thermal Energy Storage Using Solid-Solid Martensitic Transformations
Darin J. Sharar, Asher C. Leff, Adam A. Wilson +1
Adding thermal conductivity enhancements to increase thermal power in solid-liquid phase-change thermal energy storage modules compromises volumetric energy density and often times…
A Numerical Fitting Routine for Frequency-domain Thermoreflectance Measurements of Nanoscale Material Systems having Arbitrary Geometries
Ronald J. Warzoha, Adam A. Wilson, Brian F. Donovan +6
In this work, we develop a numerical fitting routine to extract multiple thermal parameters using frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) for materials having non-standard, non-s…
Energy Harvesting with a Liquid-Metal Microfluidic Influence Machine
Christopher Conner, Tim de Visser, Joshua Loessberg +6
We describe and demonstrate a new energy harvesting technology based on a microfluidic realization of a Wimshurst influence machine. The prototype device converts the mechanical en…
