We report on compressional- and shear-wave-speed measurements made on compacted polycrystalline sI methane and sII methane–ethane hydrate. The gas hydrate samples are synthesized directly in the measurement apparatus by warming granulated ice to 17°C in the presence of a clathrate-forming gas at high pressure (methane for sI, 90.2% methane, 9.8% ethane for sII). Porosity is eliminated after hydrate synthesis by compacting the sample in the synthesis pressure vessel between a hydraulic ram and a fixed end-plug, both containing shear-wave transducers. Wave-speed measurements are made between –20 and 15°C and 0 to 105 MPa applied piston pressure. PACS No.: 61.60Lj

The results of an investigation of thermodynamic effects are presented. Distributions of temperature and pressure in a developed cavity were measured for zero- and quarter-caliber ogives. A semiempirical entrainment theory was developed to correlate the measured temperature depression, ΔT, in the cavity. This theory correlates ΔTmax expressed in dimensionless form as the Jakob number in terms of the dimensionless numbers of Nusselt, Reynolds, Froude, and Pe´cle´t, and dimensionless cavity length, L/D. The results show that in general ΔT increases with L/D and temperature and the cavitation number based on measured cavity pressure is a function of L/D for a given model contour, independent of the thermodynamic effect.

This article is focused on experimental investigation of the single-phase thermal-fluid performance of a manifold microchannel cold plate with integral hierarchical branching channels. The use of a multiphysics topology optimization technique for the development of the studied microchannel structure is briefly reviewed. An experimental test setup is then described followed by measured temperature and pressure results. Specifically, unit thermal resistance and pressure drop values for the hierarchical microchannel jet impingement cold plate are compared with corresponding results for the jet impingement of a flat plate. These experiments confirm that the hierarchical microchannel system provides increased heat transfer with a negligible change in pressure drop when compared with the standard flat plate system.

A new experimental device was developed to observe and measure the dynamic generation of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) in a closed chamber. The temperature and pressure were measured locally using a thin thermocouple and a pressure transducer, respectively. The Rayleigh scattering in the chamber was visualized using a high-speed video camera. The liquid CO2 was heated by a ceramic heater located at the top or bottom of the chamber. Using this new experimental device, the color variation due to Rayleigh scattering was observed. The temperature profile was stable and scCO2 was generated slowly within a few seconds when heating occurred at the top. For heating at the bottom, scCO2 was created faster within 1 s. Additionally, natural convection, turbulence, and a phenomenon resembling boiling were observed. Numerical simulations of the scCO2 creation in a chamber were also performed using the COMSOL Multiphysics application along with the PROPATH package to obtain the thermophysical properties of CO2. The simulation results showed that scCO2 creation for heating at the top was stable due to the gas-like properties of the scCO2 near the heater. For heating at the bottom, the density distribution initially depended on the temperature distribution. However, as natural convection developed, the flow in the chamber was perturbed and the density distribution depended on both the temperature distribution and the density fluctuation caused by the convection vortices. The same tendency was observed in the experimental results. Using PROPATH, the density variation in the scCO2 generation was estimated from the measured temperature and pressure. The P-T diagram and density variation were compared in each experiment.

This paper presents the study results on the effect of the chilled water temperature on the coefficient of performance (COP) of an experimental air-cooled chiller. The measuring sensors and instrument were calibrated, and the uncertainty of the measuring temperature and pressure were evaluated. The uncertainty of measured temperature and pressure at 95% confidence level is 0.12 °C and 1.4 kPa, respectively. The isentropic compression efficiency and the COP of the air-cooled chiller operating at a condensation temperature of 48.05 °C and evaporation temperature of 3.17 °C are 63% and 2.69, respectively. The chilled water temperature has a significant influence on evaporation pressure and the COP of the chiller. If the temperature of the air entering the condenser of the chiller is maintained at 35 °C, the COP of the chiller increases from 2.55 to 2.89 when the temperature of the chiller water increases only 4 K, from 8 °C to 12 °C.

The Type I simple cold block device was described by Bullivant and Ames in 1966 and represented the product of the first successful effort to simplify the equipment required to do sophisticated freeze-cleave techniques. Bullivant, Weinstein and Someda described the Type II device which is a modification of the Type I device and was developed as a collaborative effort at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The modifications reduced specimen contamination and provided controlled specimen warming for heat-etching of fracture faces. We have now tested the Mass. General Hospital version of the Type II device (called the “Type II-MGH device”) on a wide variety of biological specimens and have established temperature and pressure curves for routine heat-etching with the device.

Over recent years a new type of electron microscope - the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) - has been developed for the examination of specimen surfaces in the presence of gases. A detailed series of reports on the system has appeared elsewhere. A review summary of the current state and potential of the system is presented here.The gas composition, temperature and pressure can be varied in the specimen chamber of the ESEM. With air, the pressure can be up to one atmosphere (about 1000 mbar). Environments with fully saturated water vapor only at room temperature (20-30 mbar) can be easily maintained whilst liquid water or other solutions, together with uncoated specimens, can be imaged routinely during various applications.
