An investigation into thermoelectric coolers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is a type of cooler that uses the electricity between the junction of two materials to cause a temperature drop. These coolers operate using the Peltier effect. Effectively, a TEC uses electrical ...
Theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in an evaporative cooling system with zeolite desiccant powered by solar energy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Concerns about energy sources depletion and environmental pollution issues have been raised and is a top priority of the global community. Refrigeration ...
Sensitivity analysis and optimal design of conventional and magnnetorheological fluid brakes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Mechanical and electrical brakes have dominated the braking industry for many years and will most likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future due to their low cost and adequate operating performance, wide range of ...
Numerical study of shock driven multiphase systems with reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
cases, one with an evaporating particle (water) cloud and another with a gas only approximation were run in the hydrodynamics code FLASH. Both cases had an incident Mach number of 1.65 and an effective Atwood number of 0.046. It is shown that both...
Mechanical behavior of transparent fiber reinforced polyester composites at extreme temperatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Selecting materials for harsh or extreme environmental conditions can be a challenge. The combination of a harsh environment, large forces over extended periods and the need for lowest possible cost restricts the choice ...
