US coastal and island communities have vulnerable energy infrastructure and high energy costs, which are exacerbated by climate change.
System and method for part porosity monitoring of additively manufactured components using machining
In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.
The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.
This invention aims to develop a new feature for a heat pump water heater having a forced flow condenser, coupled with a mixing valve, and a new feature to maximize the first hour rating and provide quick response to hot water demand, comparable to a typical gas water heater.&
The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification. The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.
Estimates based on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure for water heaters indicate that the equivalent of 350 billion kWh worth of hot water is discarded annually through drains, and a large portion of this energy is, in fact, recoverable.
A new nanostructured bainitic steel with accelerated kinetics for bainite formation at 200 C was designed using a coupled CALPHAD, machine learning, and data mining approach.
The heat exchanger is a three-medium heat exchanger with phase change material (PCM) stored in the external fin tubes. It allows the refrigerant flowing inside the internal fin tubes and the air to
Sensing of additive manufacturing processes promises to facilitate detailed quality inspection at scales that have seldom been seen in traditional manufacturing processes.
This work seeks to alter the interface condition through thermal history modification, deposition energy density, and interface surface preparation to prevent interface cracking.
