  • additive manufacturing of Compact Manifold microchannel heat exchangers utilizing direct metal laser sintering
    Intersociety Conference on Thermal and Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems, 2019
    Co-Authors: Hadi Keramati, Fabio Battaglia, Martinus Arie, Farah Singer, Michael M Ohadi
    Abstract:

    Direct Metal Laser Sintering is a metal additive manufacturing technique which uses a laser to fuse metal powders, layer by layer to form a 3D object. In this study, Direct Metal Laser Sintering is used to fabricate Compact high temperature Manifold-microchannel heat exchangers. Compared to the state of the art heat exchangers, Manifold-microchannel heat exchangers have been proven to yield superior performances. However, fabrication of Manifold-microchannel heat exchangers using conventional fabrication methods is a challenge due to their complex geometry. Additive manufacturing processes, like Direct Metal Laser Sintering, allow fabricating the Manifold-microchannel heat exchanger as a single component, which significantly simplify its production process. In order to fully utilize the performance potential of Manifold-microchannel heat exchangers, small fins (0.1-0.2 mm) and channels (0.2-0.3 mm) are required. In this study, three different machines were used to study the effect of geometries and printing parameters, such as laser power, powder size, and layer thickness, on the fins and channel size of the fabricated microchannel heat exchangers. A comprehensive study has been performed to achieve fin thickness as small as 0.110 mm. Pressure containment tests were also performed to evaluate the minimum base thickness that can hold the designed pressure. A $3^{\prime\prime}\times 3^{\prime\prime}\times 3^{\prime\prime}$ size microchannel heat exchangers was then successfully fabricated with straight fins of 0.133 mm out of Maraging Steel, and a $4^{\prime\prime}\times 4^{\prime\prime}\times 4^{\prime\prime}$ size microchannel heat exchangers was successfully fabricated with fin size of 0.22mm out of Inconel 718. The results thus pave the way for more advancements in optimized additive manufacturing of next-generation heat exchangers.

  • development of an additive manufacturing enabled Compact Manifold microchannel heat exchanger
    Applied Thermal Engineering, 2019

    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper discusses the design and performance characterization of a Compact tubular Manifold microchannel heat exchanger. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of more precise flow distribution in the heat exchanger utilizing an additively manufactured Manifold for single-phase flow under low to moderate heat flux conditions. The heat exchanger uses a commercially available enhanced tube having a fin structure on its outer surface and helical pattern of grooves (rifling structure) on the inner bore of the tube. A 3D printed Manifold made of ABS plastic was used to properly distribute the flow on the shell-side of the heat exchanger. Water was used as the working fluid for both shell and tube-sides. Single-phase experimental tests showed an overall heat transfer coefficient of 22,000  W / ( m 2 K ) and shell-side heat transfer coefficient of 45,000  W / ( m 2 K ) for the shell-side and tube-side water flow rates of 82  g / s and 806  g / s , respectively. The shell-side heat transfer coefficient was found to be an order of magnitude higher than that found in typical shell and tube and plate-type heat exchangers.

  • solving coupled dyson schwinger equations on a Compact Manifold
    Annals of Physics, 2006
    Co-Authors: C S Fischer, Burghard Gruter, Reinhard Alkofer
    Abstract:

    Abstract We present results for the gluon and ghost propagators in SU (N) Yang–Mills theory on a four-torus at zero and non-zero temperatures from a truncated set of Dyson–Schwinger equations. When compared to continuum solutions at zero temperature sizeable modifications due to the finite volume of the Manifold, especially in the infrared, are found. Effects due to non-vanishing temperatures T , on the other hand, are minute for T

    Abstract:

    We present results for the gluon and ghost propagators in SU(N) Yang--Mills theory on a four-torus at zero and nonzero temperatures from a truncated set of Dyson-Schwinger equations. When compared to continuum solutions at zero temperature sizeable modifications due to the finite volume of the Manifold, especially in the infrared, are found. Effects due to non-vanishing temperatures T, on the other hand, are minute for T < 250 MeV.

  • well posed infinite horizon variational problems on a Compact Manifold
    Proceedings of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics. Volume 268 Issue 1 2010 Pages 17-31, 2010
    Co-Authors: Andrei A Agrachev
    Abstract:

    We give an effective sufficient condition for a variational problem with infinite horizon on a Compact Riemannian Manifold M to admit a smooth optimal synthesis, i.e., a smooth dynamical system on M whose positive semi-trajectories are solutions to the problem. To realize the synthesis, we construct an invariant Lagrangian subManifold (well-projected to M) of the flow of extremals in the cotangent bundle T*M. The construction uses the curvature of the flow in the cotangent bundle and some ideas of hyperbolic dynamics.
