Abstract: This study reports the results of turbulent flows forward facing steps (FFS) in pressure gradients using a particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique to obtain data up to 68 step heights downstream. The contours of two-point ...

Abstract: In this paper, the problem of air cooling and temperature nonuniformity at the cell and pack level is addressed. Passive techniques are developed by integrating jet inlets and vortex generators (VGs) in a simple battery ...

Abstract: Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been considered the most promising power source for road transportation. However, the performance and lifespan of Li-ion batteries are strongly dependent on the working temperature. The ...

Abstract: In this paper, a multigeneration system is proposed, which utilizes geothermal energy and a lithium-bromide absorption cooling cycle. The proposed system is capable of providing electricity, heating, cooling, and domestic ...
