RISSpecial Issue on Buildings of the Future: Notes From Guest Editors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Hot Spot Cooling and Harvesting Central Processing Unit Waste Heat Using Thermoelectric Modules
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The increasing integration of high performance processors and dense circuits in current computing devices has produced high heat flux in localized areas (hot spots), which limits their performance and reliability. To control ...
Effect of Cross Sectional Perturbation on Critical Heat Flux Criteria in Microchannels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A variety of predictive correlations for critical heat flux (CHF) are examined in light of the growing body of work exploring enhanced flow boiling CHF via crosssectional expansion. The analysis considers the effect of a ...
Trends and Opportunities in Direct Absorption Solar Thermal Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Efficient conversion of sunlight into useful heat or work is of increasing global interest. Solartothermal energy conversion, as opposed to solartoelectricity, is enabled by solar thermal collectors that convert sunlight ...
Effects of Rooftop Photovoltaics on Building Cooling Demand and Sensible Heat Flux Into the Environment for an Installation on a White Roof
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) panels are commonly used for on-site generation of electricity in urban environments, specifically on rooftops. However, their implementation on rooftops poses potential (positive and negative) impacts ...
Multifunctional Core Shell Nanoparticle Suspensions for Efficient Absorption
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanoparticle suspensions are known to offer a variety of benefits for thermal transport and energy conversion. Of particular relevance here are the vast changes to the radiative properties due to the plasmonic nanostructures' ...
An Experimental Investigation of Pressure Drop in Expanding Microchannel Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The pressure effects of expanding the cross section of microchannels along the direction of flow are investigated across four rates of channel expansion in the flow boiling of R134a. Prior investigation by the authors ...
Development of a Zero-Dimensional Mesoscale Thermal Model for Urban Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple energy balance model is created for use in developing mitigation strategies for the urban heat island effect. The model is initially applied to the city of Phoenix, Arizona. There are six primary contributions to ...
Low Temperature Melting of Silver Nanoparticles in Subcooled and Saturated Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Continuous, laserheated boiling heat transfer experiments with silver nanofluids were conducted to identify the nonequilibrium melting behavior of silver nanoparticles in deionized (DI) water. Experimental results with ...
Experimental Measurements of Critical Heat Flux in Expanding Microchannel Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of an expanding microchannel crosssection on flow boiling critical heat flux (CHF) is experimentally investigated across four rates of expansion. A pumpedloop apparatus is developed to boil R134a in an array of ...
