Subith Vasu, focusing on biofuel characterization. This work included magnetic mixing tank actuation and design and procurement/fabrication of an extreme condition spherical vessel for combustion experiments. He has also been…
conducted sensitivity analyses of several receivers, allowing us to determine what factors most significantly affect receiver performance. Material properties, natural convection from the receiver cavity, and the location of hot…
at high temperatures, but liquid-metal pumping has been limited by the corrosion of metal infrastructures. Here we demonstrate a ceramic, mechanical pump that can be used to continuously circulate liquid…
Current understanding of phonons treats them as plane waves/quasi-particles of atomic vibration that propagate and scatter. The problem is that conceptually, when any level of disorder is introduced, whether compositional…
Molecular dynamics simulations have been extensively used to study phonons and gain insight, but direct comparisons to experimental data are often difficult, due to a lack of accurate empirical interatomic…
and wavelengths are dominant heat carriers. Here we have used a combination of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and lattice dynamics calculations to fully detail the spectral dependence of phonon transport…
