Hey guys! | |||
How perfect, I was just about to make this page so I could post an interesting study I found. For whoever was looking into waxes, you can find it through the library website, it's called "Study on Influence Factors of Thermal Hysteresis in Paraffin Actuator". I turns out that waxes expand a lot when they melt. The study is trying to lessen thermal hysteresis which is when a material's properties differ when they heat over a certain temperature range than when they cool over the same range. It's a study that is absolutely applicable to our project, so feel free to check it out. | |||
If we were to use melting wax, we would need to use a spring to push the piston back into position, this study looks at different springs effects on paraffin wax's thermal hysteresis. | |||
Anyways, that's all I wanted to post. | |||
