Technologies for Deep Reductions in Military Operational Energy Use

Brown R., Sharp T., Lindsey M., Kiser S., Andrews K., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, US

The U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) has begun a research program for Transformative Reductions in Operational Energy Consumption (TROPEC), which will identify, refine and validate technologies for reducing energy use in expeditionary military outposts. The primary [...]

Waste water is gold under our feet

Studer U., Rabtherm AG, CH

Each winter, we can see the heat, warm air, coming up the sewer shafts in city streets and we should realize the enormous heat potential that is down there and just flows away, untapped and [...]

Local temperature measurement near remotely heated,ultra-small gold nanoparticles

Gupta A., Denver H., Borca-Tasciuc D-A., Joshi A., Kane R., Hella M., Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, US

This work presents a novel technique to measure the temperature in the vicinity (~3.5 nm) of a remotely heated, ultra-small gold nanoparticle. The temperature measurement is carried out employing fluorescent thermometry and core/shell CdSe quantum [...]

Nanosecond Range Heating and Temperature Measurement on Thin Layers Experiment and Simulation

Moritz W., Roth U., Heyde M., Rademann K., Reichling M., Hartmann J., Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin, DE

A chemical semiconductor sensor for oxygen gas was activated by thermal treatment. The thin Pt layer of the n-Si/SiO2/Si3N4/LaF3/Pt field effect structure was used as the gate electrode for sensitivity measurements, heating resistance and temperature [...]
