I have some software I wrote that I'd like to apply to heat moving/storage, for fun.
To that end, I've been studying the vapor compression cycle. This is complicated by the fact that I only have a general understanding of thermodynamics. The purpose of this post is put in writing what I think...
I'm looking into making a thermal battery. I'd like to be able to heat a large block of mass, probably concrete based, to 500 C above ambient. Unfortunately, I don't know much about materials science. I'd like to know more, so to that end I've been reading peer reviewed research on the...
Hi.
I was reading about different types of thermal battery implementations for small scale domestic use, and wanted to come up with a way to improve on them without adding too much complexity or danger. In the course of researching, I happened across rocket mass heaters, which gave me an idea...
