Abstract: In much of the public literature on pinfin heat transfer, the Nusselt number is presented as a function of Reynolds number using a powerlaw correlation. Powerlaw correlations typically have an accuracy of 20% while the ...

Abstract: The transient source measurement technique is a nonintrusive, nondestructive method of measuring the thermal properties of a given sample. The transient source technique has been implemented using a wide variety of sensor ...

Abstract: Pin fin arrays are most commonly used to promote convective cooling within the internal passages of gas turbine airfoils. Contributing to the heat transfer are the surfaces of the channel walls as well as the pin itself. ...

Abstract: A pouch cell method for retesting double-sided electrodes harvested from commercial lithium-ion batteries in a 3-electrode cell arrangement has been developed. By relying on pressure from restraint plates to make tab ...
