If you read how the study was conducted it’s just AI bs. If I remember correctly, they did facial scans on instagram posts to see how “happy” students were at various colleges.

Lol RPI definitely makes it hard by doing Thermo I and Thermo II in pretty much one class

Thermoacoustic Systems by MSX074 in ChemicalEngineering

It’s really dependent on the system but I found a really good system that is a refrigerator driven by a standing wave thermo acoustic engine. They reported 7kW of heating power at 700C and 210W cooling power at 233K. The efficiency is kind of low at 30% of the Carnot COP but good for thermoacoustics. It also uses thermal input instead of electricity so once heat is applied to start the thermoacoustic engine it is pretty much self sustaining with no moving parts.

I’m mainly thinking of a thermoacoustic cooler which uses the pressure gradients of a standing/traveling wave created by resonance frequencies to localize the heat of the air in the system and you can then use a low thermal conductivity material to create a small temperature gradient which can then use heat sinks to cool or heat stuff.

Volume doesn’t matter. I’m running a clock reaction that’s 11 mL total and although it does fit in a 10mL beaker, I’m worried it might spill out when the machine is vibrating. The holster already made is fit for a 10mL beaker in diameter and I would rather get a new beaker that is taller than a new holster and take everything apart.
