Evaporative cooling in a radio-frequency trap

A theoretical investigation for implementing a scheme of forced evaporative cooling in radio-frequency rf adiabatic potentials is presented. Supposing the atoms to be trapped in a combination of a dc magnetic field and a rf field at frequency 1, the cooling procedure is facilitated using a second rf source at frequency 2. This second rf field produces a controlled coupling between the spin stat...

Simulation of Radiant Cooling Performance with Evaporative Cooling Sources

This project addresses three closely related and similarly complex questions: First, using currently available simulation software, what methods might be appropriate for comparing slabintegrated radiant cooling to more conventional alternatives, such that the results are sufficiently fair and comprehensive to support system selection and design? Second, what is the relative performance of repre...

Evaporative Cooling of Actuators for Humanoid Robots

Autonomous humanoid robots need high torque actuators to be able to walk and run. One problem in this context is the heat generated. In this paper we propose to use water evaporation to improve cooling of the motors. Simulations based on thermodynamic calculations as well as measurements on real actuators show that, under the assumption of the load of a soccer game, cooling can be considerably ...
