Induction Heating Of Thin Films, Paul L. Bergstrom, Melissa L. Trombley Aug 2017

Induction Heating Of Thin Films, Paul L. Bergstrom, Melissa L. Trombley

Paul Bergstrom

A method of performing regional heating of a system having a substrate. The method may include applying a thin film to the system, and controllably energizing a coil positioned near the thin film. The energized coils thereby generate a magnetic flux. The method further includes inducing a current in the thin film with the magnetic flux thereby heating the system.

Evaluation And Enhancement Of Clean Energy Systems: Analytical, Computational And Experimental Study Of Solar And Nuclear Cycles, Nima Fathi Jul 2017

Evaluation And Enhancement Of Clean Energy Systems: Analytical, Computational And Experimental Study Of Solar And Nuclear Cycles, Nima Fathi

Nima Fathi

Clean (and specifically renewable) energy is steadily improving its global share. However, finite availability of fossil fuels and the growing effects of climate change make it an urgent priority to convince the industry and governments to incentivize investment in the renewable energy field and to make it more attractive by decreasing the capital cost. Until recently, uncertainties in funding limited renewable energy development, especially in the US. That limitation has been one of the barriers to progress. Another limitation of many renewable energy systems is the variability in their output, which makes them unsuitable for baseline power production. Therefore, fossil …


Us Patent 9,702,573: Nested Heat Transfer System, Sanza Kazadi Jul 2017

Us Patent 9,702,573: Nested Heat Transfer System, Sanza Kazadi

Sanza Kazadi

A novel nested heat transfer system comprises a plurality of chained enhanced entrochemical cells with nested structures. Each enhanced entrochemical cell includes a first chamber containing desiccant, or a higher concentration solution, and a second chamber containing refrigerant,   or   a   lower   concentration   solution.   Preferably,   the   first   chamber   and   the   second   chamber   are   connected   by   a   conduit.  Furthermore,   a   smaller   chamber   in   an   enhanced   entrochemical   cell   is   encapsulated   by   a   larger   chamber   in   an   adjacent   enhanced entrochemical cell, thus forming a nested structure between the two enhanced entrochemical cells. A chain of enhanced entrochemical cells with a plurality of such nested …
