Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.
The invention describes a configuration of dishwasher using thermoelectric heat pumps that can accomplish energy savings and enhanced drying performance.
This invention aims to develop a new feature for a heat pump water heater having a forced flow condenser, coupled with a mixing valve, and a new feature to maximize the first hour rating and provide quick response to hot water demand, comparable to a typical gas water heater.&
Develop an innovative refrigerator having a thermoelectric cooler cascaded with a regular refrigerator compression system. the TE cooler dedicatedly controls the temperature in a freezer compartment.
Lean-burn natural gas (NG) engines are a preferred choice for the hard-to-electrify sectors for higher efficiency and lower NOx emissions, but methane slip can be a challenge.
High and ultra-high vacuum applications require seals that do not allow leaks. O-rings can break down over time, due to aging and exposure to radiation. Metallic seals can damage sealing surfaces, making replacement of the original seal very difficult.
Spherical powders applied to nuclear targetry for isotope production will allow for enhanced heat transfer properties, tailored thermal conductivity and minimize time required for target fabrication and post processing.
Buildings are energy intensive and contribute to carbon dioxide emissions while accounting for one-third of energy consumption worldwide. Heat pump technology can assist in electrification and decarbonization efforts.
Biocompatible nanoparticles have been developed that can trap and retain therapeutic radionuclides and their byproducts at the cancer site. This is important to maximize the therapeutic effect of this treatment and minimize associated side effects.
The widespread use of inexpensive salt hydrate-based phase change materials, or PCMs, has been prevented by a key technical challenge: phase separation, also known as incongruency, which results in the significant degradation of the materials' ability to store thermal energy o
