Experimental investigation of double-pipe heat exchangers in air conditioning applications by Saud Ghani (7205633)

“…By increasing the DIW flowrate in the evaporator, the compressor work was shown to decrease, while the COP was shown to increase. In comparison with a standard rated air conditioning unit, using a double-pipe evaporator and condenser units with the maximum DIW flowrates resulted in a decrease of about 53% in the compressor work and a similar percentage of increase in the system COP.…”

Welding of Semiconductor Nanowires by Coupling Laser-Induced Peening and Localized Heating by Kelly M. Rickey (19568770)

“…The characterization results indicate that solely laser peening or sintering can only moderately improve the thin film quality; however, when coupled together as laser peen sintering (LPS), the electrical conductivity enhancement is dramatic. LPS can decrease resistivity up to a factor of ~10,000, resulting in values on the order of ~105 Ω-cm in some cases, which is comparable to CdTe thin films. …”
