Size Effect on Photothermal Heating Ability of Gold Bipyramids
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Gold bipyramids with identical spectral characteristics exhibits opposite volume‐dependent photo‐thermal heating at single‐particle versus collective scales. The thermal energy can be used to generate mechanical work by powering Stirling engine. Abstract Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit photothermal properties that are fundamental to biomedical and ...

Parametric Study of an Air Charged Franchot Engine with Novel Hot and Cold Isothermalizers
Inventions, 2017 The Stirling engine is an external combustion engine that uses heat exchangers to enhance the addition and removal of energy. This makes the engine power-dense but expensive, less efficient and complicated. In this contribution, the Stirling engine based
