Determining the feasibility and mechanisms of chemical reactions as a basis for heat transfer media

Abstract

The objective of this project is to utilize heat of reaction (endothermic) locally at atomic length scale and ominously to achieve the optimum amount of cooling. In this context the rate of reaction is primary importance not only on molecular scale but also on global scale. The idea is innovative and possibly novel given that it could create transductional capability for energy conversion, and thus solve several problems of high power USAF laser cooling challenges.
