Emergent thermophoretic behavior in chemical reaction systems

Paolo De Los Rios, Shiling Liang, Daniel Maria Busiello

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon is known as thermophoresis, and its microscopic origin is still debated. Here, we show that thermophoresis can be obser ...

Multi-configuration evaluation of a megajoule-scale high-temperature latent thermal test-bed

Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Selmar Rudolf Binder, Nithin Mallya, Alberto Ortona, Maurizio Barbato

Thermal energy storage via latent heat provides an energy dense solution and, during discharge, a hot stream at a well-defined temperature. Utilizing metal phase change materials (PCMs) and high-temperature operation might enable fast (dis)charging and app ...

Implementation of multi-component Zhdanov closure in SOLEDGE3X

Davide Galassi, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Eric Serre

The multi-component fluid closure derived by Zhdanov (2002 Transport Processes in Multicomponent Plasma (London: Taylor and Francis)) is implemented in the fluid code SOLEDGE3X-EIRENE to deal with arbitrary edge plasma composition. The closure assumes no d ...

Simulation and experimental validation of pulsating heat pipes

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Philippe Aubin, Filippo Cataldo

The one-dimensional transient numerical code of JJ Cooling Innovation has been significantly improved to simulate the thermal/hydraulic performance of pulsating heat pipes (PHPs). Using a mechanistic approach, the liquid slug and vapor plug flows and their ...

Multiphase transport and evaporative cooling in fuel cell gas diffusion layers

Sarah van Rooij

The use of evaporative cooling in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of polymer electrolyte fuel cells has been proposed as a simple yet impactful solution to simultaneously provide the functionality of cell cooling, thanks to the dissipation of the latent heat ...

The Importance of Systematic Spatial Variability in the Surface Heat Flux of a Large Lake: A Multiannual Analysis for Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Andrea Cimatoribus, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

The spatiotemporal surface heat flux (SurHF) distribution over Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe, was estimated for a 7‐year period (2008–2014). Data sources included hourly maps of over‐the‐lake assimilated meteorological data from a validat ...

Preparation of high-conductivity, high-capacity phase change media capsules with enhanced thermos-chemical stability in thermal energy storage applications

Selmar Rudolf Binder

Thermal energy storage using the effects of the latent heat in the solid-liquid phase transformation has found its way into every day applications. Reusable, organic phase change media stabilize low temperatures of parcels, and salt/water tanks act as buff ...

SESTET: A spatially explicit stream temperature model based on equilibrium temperature

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Luca Carraro, Marco Toffolon

Stream-water temperature is a key variable controlling chemical, biological, and ecological processes in freshwater environments. Most models focus on a single river cross-section; however, temperature gradients along stretches and tributaries of a river n ...
