Pile interaction effects and environmental impacts of refrigerant on the performance of an energy pile foundation

Selina Heiniger, Annik Julia Schaufelberger

Energy piles are an efficient renewable energy source. The advantage of these heat capacity systems is the use of already necessary infrastructure for structural support to extract heat from the ground. In this project a numerical finite element model of t ...

Experimental Performance of Completely Passive Single and Recirculating Loop Thermosyphon Cooling Systems using Low GWP R1234ze and R1234yf

John Richard Thome

This paper proposes a novel concept for a loop thermosyphon cooling system, designed for the transistor module of a transformer. The thermosyphon uses a free convection cooled condenser, making the system completely passive, i.e. no energy consumption is n ...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON FLOW BOILING HEAT TRANSFER OF MULTIPORT TUBES WITH R245fa AND R1234ze(E)

John Richard Thome, Bruno Agostini, Farzad Vakili Farahani

This article presents an experimental study of upward flow boiling heat transfer in multiport tubes. Usually, multiport tubes are utilized horizontally in automotive and air-conditioning systems while here there is interest in vertical flow as part of a tw ...

Transient Simulation of Two-Phase On-chip Liquid Pump Cycle for Processor's Cooling

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Nicolas Lamaison

Transient modeling and regulation of a two-phase on-chip liquid pump cooling cycle is studied. The purpose is to cool down multiple micro-processors in parallel and a set of memories, DC/DC converters in series. The cycle will be incorporated in a blade/dr ...

Falling film evaporation on enhanced tubes, part 1: Experimental results for pool boiling, onset-of-dryout and falling film evaporation

John Richard Thome, Marcel Christians

Horizontal falling film evaporators have the potential of displacing flooded evaporators as the standard in the refrigeration industry due to compelling advantages, such as smaller refrigerant charge and lower pressure drop. However, there is a need to imp ...

Numerical Modeling of Annular Laminar Film Condensation in Circular and Non-Circular Micro-Channels under Normal and Micro-Gravity

Stefano Nebuloni

A theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini, micro and ultra micro-channels of different internal shapes is presented in this thesis. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy ...
