A dynamic 1-D model for a reciprocating active magnetic regenerator; influence of the main working parameters / G. Tagliafico in International journal of refrigeration, Vol. 33 N° 2 (Mars 2010)

Tagliafico, Auteur ; F. Scarpa, Auteur ; F.

Machinerie et outils. Réfrigération Résumé : Active Magnetic Regeneration (AMR) is a configuration that allows magnetic refrigeration to be suitable also for room temperature applications. This work is intended to detect, by means of a 1-D numerical model, the influence on the regenerator performances of the working condition ambient temperature (TCURIE ± 20 K) and of the operating parameters fluid mass flow rate (utilization factor 0.5÷3.5) and cycle frequency (0.1÷0.6 Hz). Simulations show that, tuning the fluid mass flow rate, a gadolinium AMR (395 g, f = 0.25 Hz, ΔB = 1.7 T) can reach a maximum cooling capacity of 130 W and a 40 W cooling power over a temperature span of 30 K. A COP of 5 can also be achieved with a temperature span of 30 K and a cooling power of 35 W. Frequency has a weak influence on the AMR's COP, while the ambient temperature is crucial. The system loses the 60% of cooling capacity if the ambient temperature is 20 K away from the material Curie temperature.

Shape memory behaviour in auxetic foams / M. Bianchi in Acta materialia, Vol. 58 N° 3 (Fevrier 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Acta materialia > Vol. 58 N° 3 (Fevrier 2010) . - pp. 858-865 Titre : Shape memory behaviour in auxetic foams : mechanical properties Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : M. Bianchi, Auteur ; F. Scarpa, Auteur ; C. W. Smith, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp. 858-865 Note générale : Métallurgie Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Foam  Poisson’s  ratio  Auxetic  Mechanical  properties  Shape  memory  polymers Index. décimale : 669 Métallurgie Résumé : Shape memory is the property of a material to remember its original shape despite subsequent plastic deformation. The exposure to specific temperature profiles induces a shape memory effect on auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio) foam specimens, returning them to their initial dimensions. This behaviour is a one-way effect, and it is a property of the polyurethane (PU) constituent of the foam. The foam specimens were transformed from conventional Poisson’s ratio to auxetic, returned to conventional and once again to auxetic under multiple mechanical and thermal loading. At each stage the foams were mechanically characterized under cyclic tensile and compressive loading. The manufacturing route adopted for the auxetic PU specimens involved a multiaxial compression of the native foam, heating of the compressed specimens above the Tg of the foam polymer, and cooling under running water. Twenty specimens, divided equally between two varieties of PU-based foam, were fabricated. Two different compression ratios were used during auxetic conversion for both kinds of foam, and the same final temperature of 135 °C was adopted. Tensile and compressive cyclic tests were performed in order to measure the tangent modulus (i.e. stiffness), Poisson’s ratios and energy dissipated per unit volume. Remarkable differences before and after the memory effect took place were found, showing mechanical behaviour unique to each of these phases. The shape memory effect plays an important role in the mechanical behaviour of the auxetic foams.
