Hi all,
I am a grad student in the states at Ohio University and currently have an interest in refrigeration systems. I've always enjoyed thermodynamics and i believe that it is a field that i want to pursue, especially considering the new design possibilities as R-134a may be phased out (at least Europe has the right idea).
As an undergrad, i learned that i was in the Silicon Valley of Free-Piston Stirling Engines and Coolers. I am actually designing a heat pipe with a Stirling Cooler (from Global Cooling) and CO2 as the working fluid.
I found this website and it looks like i can learn a lot about refrigeration in industry, and not out-dated thermodynamic textbooks.
I really like the potential that Stirling Coolers have, especially concerning cryocooler technology. It's crazy how a large cascade system can be transformed into about the size of a shoebox via a Stirling Cooler.
Looking forward to this site to browse from time to time to further my knowledge......and who knows land a job that i'd like.
