This work deals with energy harvesting from temperature variations using ferroelectric materials as a microgenerator. The previous researches show that direct pyroelectric energy harvesting is not effective, whereas thermodynamic-based cycles give higher energy. Also, at different temperatures some thermodynamic cycles exhibit different behaviours. In this paper pyroelectric energy harvesting using Lenoir and Ericsson thermodynamic cycles has been studied numerically and the two cycles were compared with each other. The material used is the PMN-25 PT single crystal that is a very interesting material in the framework of energy harvesting and sensor applications. 1.

  • Thermodynamic Data
    ..................................APPENDIX A Thermodynamic data A.l Introduction The thermodynamic tables presented here for enthalpy and internal energy differ from those that are usually available, since they incorporate the enthalpy of formation. This means that there is no need for separate tabulations of calorific values, and it will be found that energy balances for combustion calculations are greatly simplified. The enthalpy of formation (t-.Hf) is perhaps more familiar to physical chemists than to engineers. The enthalpy of formation ( t-.Hf) of a substance is the standard reaction enthalpy for the formation of the compound from its elements in their reference state. The reference state of an element is its most stable state (for example, carbon atoms, but oxygen molecules) at a specified temperature and pressure, usually 298.15 K and a pressure of l bar. In the case of atoms that can exist in different forms, it is necessary to specify their form, for example, carbon is as graphite, not diamond. Combustion calculations are most readily undertaken by using absolute (some­ times known as sensible) internal energies or enthalpy. In steady-flow systems where there is displacement work then enthalpy should be used; this has been illustrated by figure 3.8. When there is no displacement work then internal energy should be used (figure 3.7). Consider now figure 3.8 in more detail. With an adiabatic combustion process from reactants (R) to products (P) the enthalpy is constant, but there is a substantial rise in temperature: (A.l) In the case of the isothermal combustion process (IR ~ IP) the temperature (T) is obviously constant, and the difference in enthalpy corresponds to the isobaric calorific value (-t-.Jfi,): t-.H~ = HR .T- HP,T (A.2) 582 Thermodynamic data A.2 Thermodynamic principles In the following sections, it will be seen how the thermodynamic data for internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs function can all be determined from measurements of heat capacity and phase change enthalpies (or internal energies).

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright holder. ii ABSTRACT A design-point thermodynamic model of the Brayton-cycle gas-turbine under assumptions of perfect chemical equilibrium is described. This approach is novel to the best knowledge of the author. The model uniquely derives an optimum work balance between power turbine and nozzle as a function of flight conditions and propulsor efficiency. The model may easily be expanded to allow analysis and comparison of arbitrary cycles using any combination of fuel and oxidizer. The model allows the consideration of engines under a variety of conditions, from sea level/static to >20 km altitude and flight Mach numbers greater than 4. Isentropic or polytropic turbomachinery component efficiency standards may be used independently for compressor, gas generator turbine and power turbine. With a methodology based on the paper by M.V. Casey, “Accounting for losses” (2007), and using Bridgman’s partial differentials , the model uniquely describes the properties of a gas turbine solely by reference to the properties of the gas mixture passing through the engine. Turbine cooling is modelled using a method put forward by Kurzke. Turboshaft, turboprop, separate exhaust turbofan and turbojet engines may be modelled. Where applicable, optimisation of the power turbine and exhaust nozzle work split for flight conditions and component performances is automatically undertaken.

Micci Professor of Aerospace Engineering Thesis Supervisor Dennis K. McLaughlin Professor of Aerospace Engineering Honors Advisor George A. Lesieutre Head of Aerospace Engineering Professor of Aerospace Engineering * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i Abstract Pulsejet technology, one of the simplest forms of propulsion known, has been around since the early 1900s. It got its first practical application in the 1930s on the German V-1 flying bomb, or “Buzz-Bomb.” Interest in pulsejet applications then subsided due to the continuing development and improvement of the turbojet engine. Recently though, there has been renewed interest in pulsejets as an alternative to chemical rocket propulsion. Advances in computational simulation and modeling now allow better modeling of the operation process. In this research, COMSOL Multiphysics is utilized to develop a computational model to simulate a pulsejet engine and the phenomena of its operation. Conservation of momentum, mass, and energy equations are solved for one-dimensional, unsteady, compressible flow. The simulation shows how compression and expansion (rarefaction) waves propagate
