RISVoid Detection in Dielectric Films Using a Floating Network of Substrate Embedded Electrodes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A sensor is developed for simple, in situ characterization of dielectric thermal interface materials (TIMs) at bond line thicknesses less than 100 خ¼m. The working principle is based on the detection of regions of ...
Comparative Analysis of Single and Dual Media Thermocline Tanks for Thermal Energy Storage in Concentrating Solar Power Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A moltensalt thermocline tank is a lowcost option for thermal energy storage (TES) in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. Typical dualmedia thermocline (DMT) tanks contain molten salt and a filler material that provides ...
Simulated Microstructural Evolution and Design of Porous Sintered Wicks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Porous structures formed by sintering of powders, which involves materialbonding under the application of heat, are commonly employed as capillary wicks in twophase heat transport devices such as heat pipes. These sintered ...
