[REPORT SUMMARY] Energy efficient and environmentally friendly heat pumping system using CO2 as working fluid; COHEPS
The "natural" refrigerant CO2 is an old refrigerant (Linde 1881) and has been used in the past for maritime cooling and for air conditioning systems in buildings, until it was replaced by the (H)CFCs.
Taking the old "natural" fluids, only water (R-717) and CO2 (R-744) meet th...

[PROJECT] USMS - Ultra Strong Materials
ID: 340185
Start date: 2014-03-01, End date: 2019-02-28
The theoretical strength of metals and ceramics is about 10% of their Young’s modulus. Although whiskers reach strength values close to this limit they cannot be used in the design of load bearing structures. Currently the typical strength of the structural materials in use i...
