... will compare the performance of conical-shaped holes to cylindrical-shaped holes. Cylindrical-shaped holes are often considered a baseline in terms of film cooling effectiveness and cooling uniformity coefficient. The authors will study two coupons with conical-shaped holes, which have 3° and 6° diffusion...

..., diffusion-bonded heat exchangers for the recuperators has been a noteworthy improvement in the design of advanced carbon dioxide Brayton cycles. These heat exchangers will operate near the pseudocritical point of carbon dioxide, making use of the drastic variation of the thermophysical properties...

...Jameel R. Khan; James F. Klausner; Donald P. Ziegler; Srinivas S. Garimella The diffusion driven desalination (DDD) process has been previously introduced as a process for distilling water using low-grade waste heat. Here, a configuration of the DDD process is introduced for simultaneously...
