1. Eric Alar Master’s Student Mechanical Engineering Room: 1337 ERB
Hometown: Milwaukee, WI
Thesis: The Time Response and Heat Capacity of Pulse Tube Cryocooler Regenerator Helium-Adsorbed Plates

2. Motivation: Creare Inc
Motivation: Creare Inc. has an ONR contract to develop a new microchannel regenerator with adsorbed helium, or MIRAH plates. These could be a significant improvement to current regenerators used in cryogenics.

3. Carry out the test for Creare Inc.
Objectives:
Prove that a difference exists between MIRAH and traditional rare earth metal regenerators
Build a test facility capable of measuring a time response difference between the two types of regenerators
Carry out the test for Creare Inc.
Dewar

4. The test facility is currently being constructed…
