RISEnhanced Specific Heat Capacity of Nanomaterials Synthesized by Dispersing Silica Nanoparticles in Eutectic Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Anomalous enhancements in the specific heat capacity values of nanomaterials were measured in this study. Silica nanoparticles (∼2–20 nm) were dispersed into eutectic of lithium carbonate and potassium carbonate (62:38 ...
Nanoparticle Dispersions on Ternary Nitrate Salts for Heat Transfer Fluid Applications in Solar Thermal Power
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, we report enhancement in heat capacity of SiO2 nanoparticle dispersions in a molten ternary nitrate salt (NaNO3, KNO3, and Ca(NO3)2) to obtain an effective heat transfer fluid (HTF)/thermal energy storage ...
Enhanced Specific Heat of Molten Salt Nano-Eutectic Via Nanostructural Change
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the specific heat of molten salt nano-eutectic (Li2CO3-K2CO3 doped with SiO2 nanoparticles) was theoretically and computationally investigated. The effective specific heat of a nano-eutectic can be significantly ...
Bayesian Updating of Track-Forecast Uncertainty for Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he accuracy of track forecasts for tropical cyclones (TCs) is well studied, but less attention has been paid to the representation of track-forecast uncertainty. Here, Bayesian updating is employed on the radius of the 70% ...
Enhanced Specific Heat of Sodium Acetate Trihydrate by In-Situ Nanostructure Synthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that doping nanoparticles (NPs) into a molten salt eutectic can induce salt molecules to form a stelliform nanostructure that can enhance the effective heat capacity of the mixture. This phenomenon ...
