Journal Article
Weerasinghe, R., & Hughes, T. (2018). Analysis of thermal performance of geophonic down-hole measuring tools; a numerical and experimental investigation. Applied Thermal Engineering, 137, 504-512. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2018.03.090

© 2018 Downhole tools encounter harsh environmental conditions due to pressure and elevated temperatures. Use of Peltier cooling in down-hole seismic tooling has been restricted by the performance of such devices at elevated temperatures. Present pap...

Small engines as bottoming cycle steam expanders for internal combustion engines (2017)
Journal Article
Weerasinghe, R., & Hounsham, S. (2017). Small engines as bottoming cycle steam expanders for internal combustion engines. Journal of Combustion, 2017, Article 1742138

Heat recovery bottoming cycles for internal combustion engines have opened new avenues for research into small steam expanders [1]. Dependable data for small steam expanders will allow us to predict on their suitability as bottoming cycle engines and...
