The present experimental research investigates transient thermal performance of a PCM-based thermal management system for cooling electronics components. The proposed system consists of a heatsink that is submerged into ...

The Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube (RHVT) is a small tube without any moving parts receiving compressed air from a tangential inlet and exhausting cold air from a small hole at one end of the tube while exhausting hot air from ...

Herein we present the design of infrared mirror coatings for the enhanced performance of incandescent lighting. We consider single and stacked dielectric mirrors comprised of alternating layers of TCO and SiO2 nanoparticle ...

This paper reports a numerical analysis of solar-driven seawater desalination systems with two configurations: a floating photo-thermal film at the air-water interface with and without an insulation layer located beneath ...

Nanoparticle-enhanced tailing-paraffin composite phase change material (NCPCM) is fabricated by spontaneous melt infiltration. Industrial waste-iron tailing is used as raw material to prepare ceramic porous carrier with a ...

The mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts have been extensively studied and the effects of printing parameters on them have been investigated. However, there are limited reliable data for the thermal properties of the ...

When thin paint layers are exposed to heat, evaporation of the solvent begins, and significant movement within the paint film occur, causing temperature and concentration gradients. A clear coat paint was used, which had ...

A two-dimensional analytical heat conduction model of an annular composite fin has been carried out. The composite fins composed of a porous polyethylene core, a square aluminum insert, and metallic zinc coating layers, ...

With increasing energy cost and constraints on emission standards, there is a strong need to reduce energy consumption and/or increase equipment efficiency. Refrigeration systems are the third largest use of electricity ...

The effects of the wall temperature on the residual layer thickness of the polymers are studied numerically in the filling process in the injection molding process. A lubrication approximation model is developed to furnish ...
