Eaton Corporation will partner with ORNL to develop waste heat recovery (WHR) technology that can be applied to industrial manufacturing processes and vehicle operations in a project titled “High Performance Computing to Enable Next-generation Low- temperature Waste Heat Recovery.”. million tons of CO 2.
Topic Area 2: High-value products from waste and/or other undervalued streams in an integrated biorefinery. TRI’s work in these systems will promote feedstock flexibility and enable the processing of low-cost feedstock to enhance IBRs’ economic viability. The MIBR will improve IBR sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
Possible areas of interest for the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge include, but are not limited to: Development of low-cost, high-strength automotive aluminum sheet. Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) development of carbonfiber composites for lightweight vehicles. Fuel property impacts on combustion.
REEACH (Range Extenders for Electric Aviation with LowCarbon and High Efficiency) project descriptions. Compact Propulsion Engine Optimized with Waste Heat Recovery (CO-POWER); $2,815,760. The work will result in the development of a first-of-its-kind aircraft gas turbo-electric engine with a sCO 2 waste heat recovery cycle.
Mineralization concepts utilizing CO 2 with industrial wastes. Novel physical and chemical processes for beneficial use of carbon. Mineralization concepts utilizing CO 2 with industrial wastes. Mining waste also contains trace amounts of valuable materials (i.e., Biological based concepts for beneficial use of CO 2.
The design was chosen in May 2014 from more than 200 submitted to Local Motors by the company’s online co-creation community after launching a call for entries. The winning design was submitted by Michele Anoè who was awarded a cash prize plus the opportunity to see his design brought to life. Earlier post.).
Phase I projects must complete (1) a preliminary design; (2) a characterization of laboratory devices using the best measurements available, including a description of the measurement methods; and (3) the preparation of a road map with major milestones, that would lead to a production model of a system that would be built in Phase II.
Accelerated Development and Deployment of Low-Cost Automotive Magnesium (Mg) Sheet Components. Dissimilar metal joint systems are limited to aluminum, steel, magnesium, and carbonfiber composites. Advances for the Production of LowCost Electric Drive Vehicle Motors. per pound of weight saved.
Specifically, lowcost and energy-efficient processes are sought that can be demonstrated and validated under field conditions to meet needs of the nascent algal biomass industry. High-temperature, high-strength, lower-cost permanent magnets (PMs) are needed for traction motors for HEVs and PHEVs. Solar Technologies.
In addition, a new design of internal foil—an intrinsic component within an air bearing—is used for the bearing liner that supports the air pressure and flow. Techrules has also introduced a new and innovative heat exchanger design that is more thermally efficient than conventional designs. Power-dense cells.
The top two awards, one of $9 million to a project led by Dow Chemical, and one of $8.999 million to a project led by PolyPlus, will fund projects tackling, respectively, the manufacturing of low-costcarbonfibers and the manufacturing of electrodes for ultra-high-energy-density lithium-sulfur, lithium-seawater and lithium-air batteries.
Secretary Moniz also announced that two innovative projects at CALSTART and the National Association of Regional Councils will receive $3 million to develop systems that help companies combine their purchasing of advanced vehicles, components, and infrastructure to reduce incremental cost and achieve economies of scale. kilowatt (kW).
Frank has spent more than 30 years in breakthrough vehicle development, during which he received two world records for vehicle fuel economy, designed nine generations of PHEVs, and was a four-time winner of US DOE Advanced Vehicle Design competitions. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.
When the final funding opportunity announcement is released following this public comment period, DOE will accept applications from industry, national laboratories, and university-led teams to address these challenges and enable technologies that drive innovation in vehicle design.
