High Efficiency Solar Desalination and Superheated Steam Generation Utilizing Contactless Infrared Heating
The present study has investigated a novel configuration of a Contactless Solar Evaporation Structure (CSES), which has been prototyped over 41 experiments and 4 design iterations. The final design is able to utilize ~20% of solar energy (under 1 sun) to radiatively boil water for purposes of …

In-situ synchrotron studies of turbine blade thermal barrier coatings under extreme environments
… coating thickness of the tubular samples from infrared heating of the outer coating and forced air internal cooling of the substrate. While thermal and mechanical loading conditions are applied, 2-dimensional diffraction measurements are taken using the high-energy Synchrotron X-Rays and …

Non-isothermal non-Newtonian flow and interlayer adhesion in Large Area Additive Manufacturing polymer composite deposition.
… the interlayer bond line with respect to time. Infrared heating of printed beads, an addition to the current deposition process, is also modeled to determine the increase in temperature along the bond line for LAAM printing. Post deposition smooth and textured rolling are used to improve polymer …

Development of finish cooking methods for producing low-fat breaded cheese sticks
… sticks were determined. In the second part, far infrared finish cooking methods were compared to traditional deep-fat frying in terms of product quality. Increasing frying temperature significantly (P<0.05) reduced fat and moisture contents of the samples and increased crispness and exterior …

Effect of pretreatment on the breakdown of lignocellulosic matrix in barley straw as feedstock for biofuel production
… grind: radio-frequency (RF)-based dielectric heating technique using alkaline (NaOH) solution as a catalyst and steam explosion pretreatment at low severity factor. The pretreatment was applied on barley straw which was ground in hammer mill with a screen size of 1.6 mm, so as to enhance its …
