ORNL researchers have developed a deep learning-based approach to rapidly perform high-quality reconstructions from sparse X-ray computed tomography measurements. 

US coastal and island communities have vulnerable energy infrastructure and high energy costs, which are exacerbated by climate change.

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.

We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.

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.&

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.

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.

The use of class A3 and A2L refrigerants to replace conventional hydrofluorocarbons for their low global warming potential (GWP) presents risks due to leaks of flammable mixtures that could result in fire or explosion.
