Magnetic Bearings for Supercritical CO2 Service
SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC Topic: 14dSupercritical CO2 power cycles are being developed for both utility-scaled power generation applications, as well as smaller waste heat recovery applications. Supercritical CO2 cycles are more efficient than current cycles, and the associated turbomachinery components are significantly smaller than that for current steam turbine-based power generation. However, sCO2 cycles operate at a combination ...

Fast Optical Limiters (OL) with Enhanced Dynamic Range
SBC: ADVANCED PHOTON SCIENCES LLC Topic: AF17AT029Optical limiters (OL) protect sensitive optical and electronic devices from laser-induced damage. The existing passive OL utilize nonlinear optical materials transmitting low-intensity light, while blocking laser radiation with intensity exceeding certain limiting threshold (LT). The common problem with the existing OL is that, at any particular frequency range, the choice of suitable nonlinear ...
