We have developed a novel extrusion-based 3D printing technique that can achieve a resolution of 0.51 mm layer thickness, and catalyst loading of 44% and 90.5% before and after drying, respectively.
US coastal and island communities have vulnerable energy infrastructure and high energy costs, which are exacerbated by climate change.
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 manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.
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.
This invention is directed to a machine leaning methodology to quantify the association of a set of input variables to a set of output variables, specifically for the one-to-many scenarios in which the output exhibits a range of variations under the same replicated input condi
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
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
