Heat and Mass Transfer in Desiccant Wheels
, 2011 1.1 Background Nowadays the interest in heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigerating systems (HVAC&R) based on desiccant wheels is increasing due to the possibility of using renewable energy sources, making them an attractive alternative or complement to conventional systems. The thermally driven desiccant systems can potentially reduce the

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

Internally cooled desiccant wheel and desiccant wheel based air-conditioning system
, 2019 This thesis aims to improve the dehumidification performance of conventional desiccant wheels by constructing an internally cooled desiccant wheel, in which cooling water was brought into the supply section of the wheel to change the dehumidification process from adiabatic to an isothermal/semi-isothermal process.

Chiral Morphing of Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This paper reviews how macroscopic chirality spontaneously arises from liquid crystal polymer materials. It describes how alignment is utilized to create the mechanical anisotropy, geometric misorientation and asymmetry that leads to chiral shape morphing, how shape selection between helicoids and helices arises, the techniques used to prepare these ...

Effect of Regenaration Air Temperature on Desiccant Wheel Performance
International Journal of Technology, 2016 Desiccant wheels are used as an air dehumidifier in air-conditioning and industrial applications. Desiccant wheel performance determines the size and cost of the whole system. A good desiccant wheel is one that saves energy usage. This article presents an experimental investigation on the effects of varying the regeneration air temperature, viz., 50 ...
