Summary
The goals of this program are to produce a 1 hp Nitinol heat engine; to obtain a set of performance measurements over a range of operating conditions, and to establish design relations between performance and hardware configurature, engine dimensions, and Nitinol characteristics. During the preceding reporting period, the principal efforts were directed toward completion and initial operation of the Nitinol Engine Module (MOD). Diagnostic instrumentation was completed and a computerized data acquisition system was installed. Nitinol elements for MOD were conditioned and installed and the MOD was operated briefly. The first samples of Nitinol manufactured and processed at ORNL (Type 3) were characterized, and a second sample (Type 5) has been received. Sufficient quantities of Nitinol wire for full scale MOD operation and for the final engine are not yet available.
