Abstract: Solar-to-thermal energy conversion technologies are an important and increasingly promising segment of our renewable energy technology future. Today, concentrated solar power (CSP) plants provide a method to efficiently ...

Abstract: Thermal management of Li-ion battery packs is a critical technological challenge that directly impacts safety and performance. Removal of heat generated in individual Li-ion cells into the ambient is a considerably complicated ...

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 ...

Abstract: This study discusses the simulation of flow boiling in a microchannel and numerically predicts the effects of channel geometry variation along the flow direction. Experimental studies by Pan and collaborators and suggestions ...
