Continuous Bending-mode Elastocaloric Composite Refrigeration System for Compact, Lightweight, High-Efficiency Cooling - NASA

ESI23 Miljkovic Quadchart Nenad Miljkovic University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Traditional elastocaloric refrigeration systems are based on uniaxial compression of the elastocaloric material which makes them highly constrained by actuator requirements, the physics of column buckling, and limited surface area for heat transfer. Professor Miljkovic will investigate a novel elastocaloric system based on bending of […]
