We employ a validated first-order lumped dynamic model of the Up-THERM converter, a two-phase unsteady heat-engine that belongs to a class of innovative devices known as thermofluidic oscillators, which contain fewer moving parts than conventional ...

Computational fluid dynamics analysis of the oscillatory flow in a jet pump: the influence of taper angle [PDF]
A two-dimensional CFD model for predicting the oscillating flow through a jet pump is developed. Various taper angles are investigated and total minor loss coefficients are derived.

A Self-Circulating Heat Exchanger for Use in Stirling and Thermoacoustic-Stirling Engines
A major technical hurdle to the implementation of large Stirling engines or thermoacoustic engines is the reliability, performance, and manufacturability of the hot heat exchanger that brings high‐temperature heat into the engine. Unlike power conversion devices that utilize steady flow, the oscillatory nature of the flow in Stirling and thermoacoustic

Potential of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) for waste heat recovery on an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) [PDF]
The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a mature technology to convert low temperature waste heat to electricity. While several energy intensive industries could benefit from the integration of an ORC, their adoption rate is rather low.
