Abstract: A thermal analysis has been made of 40 pin leadless chip carriers (LCC) surface mounted on an alumina substrate. Finite element (FE) codes have been used to numerically simulate the problem. ...

Abstract: Metal hydrides have been investigated for use in a number of solar thermal energy applications, such as heat regenerators or hydrogen storage technology, but rarely for thermal actuators. ...

Abstract: Thermodynamic analyses of compressor-driven metal hydride refrigerators predict a high coefficient of performance. Comparison with the results from a computational model indicates that the coefficient ...

Abstract: A curved rotating heat pipe for use in motor and generator applications is studied experimentally. The heat pipe is built so that both the condenser and evaporator sections are parallel to ...
