Abstract: A combined thermal power and ejector refrigeration cooling cycle is proposed in this paper to harness lowgrade solar energy. It explores the possibility of utilizing abundant and lowcost hydrocarbon as the working fluid. ...

Abstract: On the basis of substantive investigations and data collection which includes the data of highway alignment, traffic volume and accidents, the quantitative impact of the accesses on safety performance of two-lane highways ...

Abstract: We demonstrated suppressed dryout on structured surfaces during flow boiling in microchannels. We designed and fabricated microchannels with welldefined silicon micropillar arrays (heights of ~25 آµm, diameters of 10 آµm ...

Abstract: Nucleation is the first stage of phase change phenomena, including condensation on nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces. Despite plenty of theoretical studies on the effect of nanostructure density and shape on water ...

Abstract: Micro/nanostructured surfaces have been widely explored to enhance condensation heat transfer over the past decades. When there is no flooding, micro/nanostructures can enable dropwise condensation by reducing solid-droplet ...

Abstract: With the ever increasing cooling demands of advanced electronics, thin film evaporation has emerged as one of the most promising thermal management solutions. High heat transfer rates can be achieved in thin films of liquids ...

Abstract: We investigated the role of surface microstructures in twophase microchannels on suppressing flow instabilities and enhancing heat transfer. We designed and fabricated microchannels with welldefined silicon micropillar ...
