项目摘要

This action funds Scott N. Schiffres of Carnegie Mellon University to conduct a research project, entitled "Nano-sized particles to enhance heat transfer in melting-freezing with applications to solar thermal energy storage," during the summer of 2012 at the University of Tokyo in Hongo, Tokyo, Japan. The host scientists are Shigeo Maruyama and Junichiro Shiomi.The Intellectual Merit of the research project lies in the study of how nano-sized particles, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, influence thermal conductivity in materials undergoing phase-change. A metal coated fiber 3-omega technique is being used to characterize thermal conductivity of the phase-change material with nano-sized particles in addition to characertizing other aspects of the nano-sized particle suspension. One application of this research is to understand how nano-particles may enhance heat transfer during melting and freezing, allowing for enhanced thermal storage and reduced energy usage. The Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.

该行动资助卡内基梅隆大学的 Scott N. Schiffres 于 2012 年夏季在东京大学开展一项研究项目，题为“纳米尺寸颗粒增强熔化-冷冻传热及其在太阳能热能储存中的应用”在日本东京本乡市。主持科学家是 Shigeo Maruyama 和 Junichiro Shiomi。该研究项目的智力价值在于研究纳米颗粒（例如碳纳米管和石墨烯）如何影响相变材料的导热性。除了表征纳米颗粒悬浮液的其他方面之外，金属涂层纤维 3-omega 技术还用于表征具有纳米颗粒的相变材料的热导率。这项研究的一个应用是了解纳米颗粒如何增强熔化和冷冻过程中的传热，从而增强热储存并减少能源使用。 EAPSI 奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；各自地点的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施的介绍；以及对社会、文化和语言的定位。这些活动符合 NSF 的目标，即在科学家、工程师和教育工作者职业生涯的早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。
