20110114285 | COPPER-NIOBIUM, COPPER-VANADIUM, OR COPPER-CHROMIUM NANOCOMPOSITES, AND THE USE THEREOF IN HEAT EXCHANGERS - We propose here a class of new materials for high heat-flux applications including high flux heat exchangers, rocket engines, jet engines, gas turbines, space-plane wings, and fusion reactors. The materials are nano-composites formed from copper and a refractory metal, especially niobium, vanadium, or chromium, but also potentially silver, iron, tantalum, tungsten, or molybdenum. The copper plus refractory mix is fast-melted, e.g. by arc melting, and then fast-cooled and worked. When cast the component metals separate into a fractile metal-metal composite that should have excellent heat-transfer qualities. Working the material makes it a lot stronger by extending the fractile structures into micron, and submicron (nano-scale) filaments and sheets of metal-metal composite. The resulting strong, high thermal-conductivity material should be excellent for demanding heat exchange applications, especially those where the heat flux is so high that ordinary materials of construction would suffer from thermal creep: that is from large forces generated internally by the differential expansion caused by the heat flux. Typical heat exchanger surfaces that might use this material might be tubes or indented flat plates. | 05-19-2011 |

20110146945 | VEHICULAR CONTROL DEVICE - During the time period from the start of an engine to the completion of a catalyst warming-up, the drive of a blower in an air-conditioning equipment is inhibited to suppress the heat-exchange of the air, which is caused to flow in an air duct by the drive of the blower, with cooling water in a heater core disposed in a circulating passage. Therefore, the heat generated in the engine is restrained from being fed to the inside of a compartment through that air after fed to the cooling water. As a result, the temperatures of the engine and the cooling water rise quickly, and the temperature of the exhaust of the engine rises so that the heat is efficiently fed to the catalyst through the exhaust. This means that the heat generated in the engine is preferentially fed through the exhaust to the catalyst that is the portion needing the feed of heat at a low temperature, other than the compartment in the automobile. | 06-23-2011 |
