The materials we measure have relatively low thermal conductivity. We present a method for measuring the heat transfer coefficient of flat cabling and show, using an example, that the thermal conductivity of a flex cable is reasonably well predicted by composing the thermal conductivities of its constituent material layers.

  • Dupont™ Kalrez® KVSP™ Valve Stem Packing Technical Guidelines and Design to Improve Process Control and Minimize Fugitive Emissions
    DuPont™ Kalrez® KVSP™ Valve Stem Packing Technical Guidelines and Design to Improve Process Control and Minimize Fugitive Emissions Technical Information—Rev. 4, March 2019 Introduction DuPont™ Kalrez® Valve Stem Packing (KVSP™) systems can help to significantly reduce fugitive emissions and improve process control through the innovative use of Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts combined with other proven packing materials. Graphite packing systems can meet fugitive emissions requirements but restrict valve movement, leading to inconsistent process control. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has excellent process control response characteristics but cannot contain fugitive emissions when temperature cycling is involved in conjunction with operational cycling. Kalrez® packing systems overcome these deficiencies, as well as reducing leak rates to near-bellows performance. Kalrez® is chemically an elastomeric PTFE derived from tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), the same base monomer. It provides a unique combination of chemical resistance and inertness like PTFE, but with a higher temperature service limit and no tendency to cold flow. The chemical structure remains cross-linked and stable at high temperatures and does not move under load or deformation. Its resiliency and memory provide improved sealing for control valve stems. Using Kalrez® V-rings backed up with more rigid components of carbon fiber-reinforced PTFE (DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100) has proven to be a major advancement in improving process control and reducing leakage to less than 1 ppm, or below the plant’s background level. Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer packing systems increase a valve’s ability to react quickly and smoothly to process changes (Figure 1). Kalrez® KVSP™ reduces process control variability to the control system’s capability, resulting in improvements to both yield and product quality on specification.

    MATERIALS MATTER™ Lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) through DuPont Innovation MATERIALS MATTER™ FOR BETTER LONG-TERM PV SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AND HIGHER FINANCIAL RETURNS DuPont has a rich heritage of innovation and leadership in the PV industry. It all began more than 55 years ago when our scientists created the first purified silicon for Bell Labs for use in the PV market. Since then, our broad and growing portfolio of materials has enabled significant leaps in module efficiency, reliability and overall system cost reduction. We are committed to continually driving technology innovation and have been granted nearly 200 PV worldwide patents since 2008, with more than 1,300 patent applications currently pending. In 2011, DuPont spent $2 billion U.S. dollars on research and development, with a significant portion focused on advancing the efficiency, lifetime and cost competitiveness of solar energy. We’ve also invested hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars in supply expansions over the past few years to support long-term industry growth. Today, DuPont offers the broadest materials portfolio time-tested for decades in more than five trillion in PV and provides six of the eight most critical materials panel-hours of outdoor PV field installations all around for manufacturing solar modules. These materials are the world. That’s trillions more hours of real PV exposure not only innovative, they have delivered demonstrable than other material providers in the industry. results, including: nearly doubling cell efficiency over 12 years; providing greater reliability and extending Looking ahead, we aim to increase efficiency well beyond system lifetime—with 30+ years of proven backsheet 20% and extend system lifetime toward 40 years, while performance; and reducing overall system cost with increasing system safety and reducing cost.

    2001 ANNUAL REPORT DuPont at 200 In 2002, DuPont celebrates its 200th anniversary. The company that began as a small, family firm on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River is today a global enterprise operating in 70 countries around the world. From a manufacturer of one main product – black powder for guns and blasting – DuPont grew through a remarkable series of scientific leaps into a supplier of some of the world’s most advanced materials, services and technologies. Much of what we take for granted in the look, feel, and utility of modern life was brought to the marketplace as a result of DuPont discoveries, the genius of DuPont scientists and engineers, and the hard work of DuPont employees in plants and offices, year in and year out. Along the way, there have been some exceptional constants. The company’s core values of safety, health and the environment, ethics, and respect for people have evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities of each era, but as they are lived today they would be easily recognizable to our founder. The central role of science as the means for gaining competitive advantage and creating value for customers and shareholders has been consistent. It would be familiar to any employee plucked at random from any decade of the company’s existence. Yet nothing has contributed more to the success of DuPont than its ability to transform itself in order to grow. Whether moving into high explosives in the latter 19th century, into chemicals and polymers in the 20th century, or into biotechnology and other integrated sciences today, DuPont has always embraced change as a means to grow.

    Thermal Design and Performance of the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer for the MESSENGER Spacecraft M. Burks, C. P. Cork, D. Eckels, E. Hull, N.W. Madden, W. Miller, J. Goldsten, E. Rhodes, B. Williams Abstract-- A gamma-ray spectrometer (GRS) has been built and and periapsis only 200 km from the surface of the planet. The delivered to the MESSENGER spacecraft which launched on mission will last one Earth year (~ four Mercury years). August 3, 2004, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The GRS, a part of Mercury has little atmosphere and a weak magnetic field, and seven scientific instruments on board MESSENGER, is based on a is therefore largely unshielded from cosmic and solar radiation. coaxial high-purity germanium detector. Gamma-ray detectors The gamma-ray spectrometer (GRS), one component of the based on germanium have the advantage of providing excellent energy resolution, which is critical to achieving the science goals of MESSENGER Gamma-Ray and Neutron Spectrometer (GRNS) the mission. However, germanium has the disadvantage that it must instrument, will record the characteristic gamma rays emitted operated at cryogenic temperatures (typically ~80 K). This from surface elements as a result of reactions with cosmic rays requirement is easy to satisfy in the laboratory but difficult near and, in conjunction with the other spectrometers, help determine Mercury, which has an extremely hot thermal radiation the surface composition. environment. To cool the detector, a Stirling cycle mechanical cooler is employed. In addition, radiation and conduction techniques are used to reduce the GRS heat load. Before delivering the flight sensor, a complete thermal prototype was built and tested.

  • Transport in a Field Aligned Magnetized Plasma
    University of California Los Angeles Transport in a field aligned magnetized plasma/neutral gas boundary: the end of the plasma A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Physics by Christopher Michael Cooper 2012 c Copyright by Christopher Michael Cooper 2012 Abstract of the Dissertation Transport in a field aligned magnetized plasma/neutral gas boundary: the end of the plasma by Christopher Michael Cooper Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Walter Gekelman, Chair The objective of this dissertation is to characterize the physics of a boundary layer be- tween a magnetized plasma and a neutral gas along the direction of a confining magnetic field. A series of experiments are performed at the Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) at UCLA to study this field aligned Neutral Boundary Layer (NBL) at the end of the plasma. A Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) cathode and semi-transparent anode creates a magnetized, current-free helium plasma which terminates on a neutral helium gas without touching any walls. Probes are inserted into the plasma to measure the basic plasma parameters and study the transport in the NBL. The experiment is performed in the weakly ionized limit where the plasma density (ne) is much less than the neutral density (nn) such that ne=nn < 5%. The NBL is characterized by a field-aligned electric field which begins at the point where the plasma pressure equilibrates with the neutral gas pressure. Beyond the pressure equi- libration point the electrons and ions lose their momentum by collisions with the neutral gas and come to rest.
