- W187409968 abstract "Joule effect heat engines, using the shape memory alloy Nitinol as the working material, offer a realistic potential of converting cheap and abundant low-temperature heat energy into shaft power, much more efficiently and cheaply than conventional heat engines. Reasonable performance limits for commercial engines are expected to be 80% of Carnot, if optimized for efficiency, or $50 per kilowatt, if optimized for cost. These estimates are based on clearly perceived thermodynamic cycle improvements of experimental Nitinol heat engines that have already achieved a measured performance of about 1/5 of these limits. Once this potential is converted into commercial reality by the development of a Nitinol heat engine technology, a major tool for solving the world energy problem will become available. The engineering thermodynamics of Nitinol is one of the key elements of this technology. As shown by 150 years of heat engine experience, thermodynamics is vital for the efficient development of the technologies of system studies, invention, optimization, detailed design, and test evaluation of heat engine. To fulfill this role for Nitinol heat engines, historical experience shows that the engineering thermodynamics of Nitinol must (1) specify the necessary and sufficient state variables, (2) provide a quantitative description of all possiblemore » thermodynamic paths, together with (3) the work, (4) the heat flow, and (5) the energy dissipation associated with each of these paths. The purpose of this paper is to present an empirical data correlation which furnishes the first three requirements. A report is in preparation which provides a quantitative description of the heat flow and energy dissipation.« less" @default.
