Superfluid performance of Tevatron IR quad heaters

Improved Performance of Ultra-Fast Carbon Nanotube Film Heaters

With current level of development, mankind is about to face many energy-related problems unless we find ways for more efficient power generation and transmission. In this paper, we depicted the operation of highperformance carbon nanotube film heaters, which show a clear advantage over traditionally employed materials. The material was synthesized by a facile one-step method and used as resisti...

Tevatron Instrumentation: Boosting Collider Performance

The Tevatron in Collider Run II (2001-present) is operating with six times more bunches, many times higher beam intensities and luminosities than in Run I (1992-1995). Beam diagnostics were crucial for the machine start-up and the never-ending luminosity upgrade campaign. We present the overall picture of the Tevatron diagnostics development for Run II, outline machine needs for new instrumenta...

Improving the Performance of Process Heaters through Fireside Modeling

quad-polarization: Performance, complexity, and power dissipation

A computational complexity, power consumption, and receiver sensitivity analysis for three different scenarios for short-range direct detection links is presented: 1) quad-polarization, 2) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and 3) parallel optics. Results show that the power consumption penalty associated to the quad-polarization digital signal processing (DSP) is negligibly small. However...

Feedback Sensor Development for IR-Based Heaters Used in Animal Housing Micro-Climate Control

The development of a feedback control sensor for flame‐based infrared (IR) heaters used in animal agriculture is described. The intended use of this sensor is to control the heating pattern at desired levels for young animals in enclosed housing applications to desired micro‐climate specifications. The sensor developed was sensitive to placement position in the IR heat pattern but once a suitab...
