Design and Development of Ni Based Heusler Alloys for Magnetic Refrigeration

2016-10-01
Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE). It has attracted increasing interest because of its higher cooling efficiency and enviromently friendliness. Recently, Nibased Heusler alloys have received considerable attention due to their unique properties like stronger magnetocaloric effect. In order to characterize the orderorder (L21ļB2) and order-disorder (B2ļA2) transitions in A2BC type full Heusler alloys, statisticothermodynamical theory of ordering by means of BraggWilliams-Gorsky (BWG) method combined with electronic theory in the pseudopotential approximation have been employed. The partial ordering energies, calculated according to the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation for the first two coordination spheres were utilized as input data for the theoretical superlattice formation models based on BWG approximation. The L21ļB2 and B2ļA2 critical phase transformation temperatures have been determined in Ni50Mn50-xSbx alloy.

Numerical investigation of natural convection from inclined plate finned heat sinks
Mehrtash, Mehdi; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
Finned heat sink use for electronics cooling via natural convection is numerically investigated. An experimental study from the literature that is for vertical surfaces is taken as the base case and the experimental setup is numerically modeled using commercial CFD software. The flow and temperature fields are resolved. A scale analysis is applied to produce an order-of-magnitude estimate for maximum convection heat transfer corresponding to the optimum fin spacing. By showing a good agreement of the result...

Türkakar, Göker; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
This study aims to optimize the dimensions and operating conditions of two main components of a miniature vapor compression refrigeration cycle (MVCRC), evaporator and condenser by using entropy generation minimization (EGM). In addition, some performance tests are conducted on a MVCRC which is constructed based on the EGM analysis as long as the manufacturing constraints permit. R134a is used as the coolant. Entropy generation rate in the evaporator of the MVCRC is investigated under the effects of exit va...
