Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) is an emerging energy storage technology characterized by its high energy density and non-polluting nature. It stores surplus electricity through the processes of compression, cooling, and liquefaction of air, and releases electricity to compensate grid loads through the pressurization, gasification, and expansion of liquid air. The core process involves the...
This project features a tumultuous low pressure (5psi) liquid nitrogen delivery system feeding an NMR instrumentation lab via a two-phase buffer pot, exhibiting a stability analogous to a spinning top. Currently, the system requires frequent valve adjustment to maintain a stable pressure range; where without input, the two-phase buffer pot reaches a chaotic state of constant filling and...
Following the failure that ended the RHIC run 23, a review of the original 12x150A RHIC current leads has uncovered a series of design issues that granted a replacement of these leads before the EIC operation begins. Taking advantage of the lesson learned from 24 years of operation, significant design improvement to the old design have been studied. Going back to thermal and electrical...
