Verification of the Back-EMF Method for Piston Velocity Measurements

July 10, 2012
Author(s)
Ray Radebaugh, Michael A. Lewis, Peter E. Bradley
Linear compressors are used to drive pulse tube or Stirling cryocoolers, and they can be used as expanders in place of inertance tubes when inertance tubes cannot provide sufficient phase shifts between flow and pressure. Commercial linear compressors

Predictive Gold Nanocluster Formation Controlled by Metal-Ligand Complexes

January 9, 2012
Author(s)
John M. Pettibone, Jeffrey W. Hudgens
The formation of ligand-protected transition metal nanoclusters in size-selective syntheses is driven by the inherent properties of the protecting ligands. We have previously reported the selective, monodisperse product formation of phosphine protected Au

Standard Reactions for Comparative Rate Studies: Experiments on the Dehydrochlorination Reactions of 2 Chloropropane, Chlorocyclopentane and Chlorocyclohexane

November 23, 2011
Author(s)
Iftikhar A. Awan, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Wing Tsang, Jeffrey A. Manion
Single pulse shock tube studies of the thermal dehydrochlorination reactions (chlorocyclopentane → cyclopentene + HCl) and (chlorocyclohexane → cyclohexene + HCl) at temperatures of 843 to 1021 K and pressures of 1.4 to 2.4 bar have been carried out using

DEMONSTRATION OF AN INTEGRATED MICRO CRYOGENIC COOLER AND MINIATURE COMPRESSOR FOR COOLING TO 200 K

November 17, 2011
Author(s)
Ryan J. Lewis, Mu Hong Lin, Yunda Wang, Jill Cooper, Peter E. Bradley, Ray Radebaugh, Marcia L. Huber, Yung-Cheng Lee
Joule-Thompson (J-T) based micro cryogenic coolers (MCCs) are attractive because they can provide the cryogenic temperatures needed for small electronic devices while having a low cost and small volumetric footprint. A compressor is a major part of a

Cryocoolers for Aircraft Superconducting Generators and Motors

June 13, 2011
Author(s)
Ray Radebaugh
The proposal by NASA to use high temperature superconducting (HTS) generators and motors on future (2035) aircraft for turboelectric propulsion imposes difficult requirements for cryocoolers. Net refrigeration powers of about 5 kW to 10 kW at 50 K to 65 K

Micro Cryogenic Coolers for IR Imaging

Author(s)
Ryan J. Lewis, Yunda Wang, Jill Cooper, Mu Hong Lin, Victor M. Bright, Yung-Cheng Lee, Peter E. Bradley, Ray Radebaugh, Marcia L. Huber
Joule-Thomson micro cryogenic coolers (MCCs) are a preferred approach for small and low power cryocoolers. With the same heat lift, MCC's power input can be only 1/10 of a thermoelectric cooler's input, and MCC's size can be only 1/10 of a Stirling cooler

H Atom Attack on Propene

March 15, 2011
Author(s)
Claudette M. Rosado-Reyes, Jeffrey A. Manion, Wing Tsang
The reaction of propene(CH3CH=CH2) with hydrogen atoms has been investigated in a heated single-pulsed shock tube at temperature between 929K-1212K and pressures of 1.7bar-3.4bar. Stable products from H atom addition and H abstraction have been identified

Model for Transient Behavior of Pulse Tube Cryocooler

January 1, 2011
Author(s)
Gershon Grossman, Peter E. Bradley, Michael A. Lewis, Ray Radebaugh
This article describes an investigation of the transient behavior of a small (2.0 W at 85 K) Pulse Tube cryocooler operating at 120 Hz with an average pressure of 3.5 MPa, capable of relatively fast cool-down to about 60 K. In a series of experiments, the

The Decomposition and Isomerization of 5-Methylhex-1-yl Radical

July 9, 2010
Author(s)
Iftikhar A. Awan, William S. McGivern, Wing Tsang, Jeffrey A. Manion
The decomposition and isomerization reactions of the 5-methylhex-1-yl radical (1-5MeH) have been studied at temperatures of 889 K to 1064 K and pressures of 1.6 bar to 2.2 bar using the single pulse shock tube technique. The radical of interest was

ThermoData Engine (TDE) Version 5.0 (Pure compounds, Equations of State, Binary mixtures, and Chemical Reactions)

June 7, 2010
Author(s)
Michael D. Frenkel, Robert D. Chirico, Vladimir Diky, Chris D. Muzny, Andrei F. Kazakov, Joe W. Magee, Ilmutdin M. Abdulagatov, Jeongwon Kang
ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first and only full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept. The software provides critically evaluated thermochemical and thermophysical property values for pure compounds, binary mixtures, and

Compact and Distributed Modeling of Cryogenic Bulk MOSFET Operation

June 1, 2010
Author(s)
Akin Akturk, M. Holloway, S. Potbhare, David J. Gundlach, B Li, Neil Goldsman, M Peckerar, Kin P. Cheung
We have developed compact and physics-based distributed numerical models for cryogenic bulkMOSFET operation down to 20 K to advance simulation and first-pass design of device and circuit operation at low temperatures. To achieve this, we measured and

Mixed Refrigerants for a Glass Capillary Micro Cryogenic Cooler

April 24, 2010
Author(s)
Mu Hong Lin, Peter E. Bradley, Marcia L. Huber, Ryan J. Lewis, Ray Radebaugh, Yung-Cheng Lee
Optimized mixed refrigerants are applied in Joule-Thomson (JT) micro cryogenic coolers (MCC) to enhance efficiency. Mixed refrigerants deliver equivalent refrigeration power with much lower pressure ratio and flow rate compared to pure nitrogen refrigerant
