An Investigation of Mechanisms Involved in the Web-to-Drum Heat Transfer Coefficient when Using Gas Injection Between the Web & Drum Paid Members Public
Presented by Mike McCann, McCann Science Many vacuum deposition processes are limited in the speed they can be run at because of the deposition heat load. In previous work it has been shown that the ratelimiting factor is the heat transfer coefficient between the back surface of the polymer web
Nanostructured Multilayer B4C/B9C and Si/Si0.8Ge0.2 Films for Advanced Detector and Thermoelectric Applications Paid Members Public
Presented by P. M. Martin, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Thermoelectric devices show significant promise for harvesting and recovery of waste heat from diesel engines, exhaust systems and industrial heat sources, and for ambient power sources. While these devices convert a heat flow directly into electrical energy, cooling can be accomplished
