Nano-scale Phase Change Materials (PCM’s) and Their Effect on Heat Transfer Fluids Sean Schulte‚ Chaoming Wang‚ Ming Su 1NanoScience Technology Center‚ 2Department of Mechanical‚ Materials‚ and Aerospace Engineering‚ University of Central Florida‚ Orlando‚ Florida 32826. mingsu@mail.ucf.edu Abstract: Introduction: Heat transfer fluids (HTF’s) are often used as carriers in heat transfer equipment. It therefor comes as no surprise that finding a way to make HTF’s more efficient is desirable

Analysis of a bladeless steam turbine for use in a domestic combined heat and power system Peter Burton Edinburgh Napier university Abstract This report analyses the suitability of a bladeless ‘Tesla’ type steam turbine to determine its merit for use in a domestic combined heat and power system. A physical prototype was developed and built so that cost and performance data could be determined. With this done‚ a cost analysis was prepared to evaluate its performance when integrated into a

Why do darker colors absorb more heat than lighter Colors? Have you ever wondered why on a hot summer day you would be wearing a black or dark blue t-shirt and in like 5 min you’ll already be sweating and it would be really hot while your friends that are wearing white or yellow t-shirts are all ok and don’t seem affected by the heat. Have you ever thought what might cause this to happen? Well the color of our clothes is determined by a chemical dye that is added to the cloth at the factory

Investigating How the Relative Molecular Mass Changes in Heat Combustion of an Alcohol Planning Introduction ============ As alcohol burns in air it gives out energy as heat and light. I am going to investigate how the energy output of an alcohol in combustion changes‚ with increased relative molecular mass‚ or RMM. RMM is the sum of the atomic masses of every atom in the molecule. Using the alcohols: Methanol‚ Ethanol‚ Propan-1-ol‚ Butan-1-ol and Pentan-1-ol‚ I will plan

To investigate the relationship between surface area : volume ratio and heat loss. INTRODUCTION: The aim of this experiment is to investigate and find the relationship between heat loss (of water) and surface area to volume ratio of animals. To investigate this‚ we are going to use three flasks of different volume (as the equivalent the animals) and thus different surface areas filled with water. BACKGROUND: Surface Area : Volume Ratios We will be using the following formula for calculating

Chapter I Introduction Concrete has been used in the construction industry for centuries. A typical concrete is a mixture of fine aggregate (sand)‚ coarse aggregate (rock)‚ cement‚ and water. Nowadays the usage of concrete is increasing from time to time due to the rapid development of construction industry.Today‚ there are many ways to enhance the quality and properties of concrete. One of the technological advances in improving the quality of concrete is Self-Consolidating Concrete. Self-Consolidating
