Abstract
The entrochemical system consists of an entrochemical device, which spontaneously generates and maintains a thermal gradient through a spontaneous entropic and thermal process. The system can be operated continually when enhanced with a solar chimney, which re-concentrates the solution used in the entrochemical device. The thermal gradient can then be applied in a distiller, daisy chained to create a large heating/cooling device, or used to generate electricity. One major engineering issue with the entrochemical system that remains is that the mixing tube in the device has a variant depth. To resolve this, our group designed a depth-invariant tube that will accommodate for changes in water level of the entrochemical device and result in a more stable and longer lasting thermal gradient. State of the art designs and results of this tube will be presented.
