Nuclear power is a powerful technology that plays an important role in the fight against climate change, and research is continuously engaged in studies that could further improve its safety. After the Fukushima accident, Accident Tolerant Fuels research h ...
Electrification of the energy section, from generation to end-use, plays an essential role in reducing global CO2 emission. Innovations in power electronics are required to increase conversion efficiency and power density. Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors ...
The presence of a ventilated air gap behind the external cladding in a building envelope is known to have a tangible contribution to the overall performance of the wall assembly. In the present study, the hydrodynamic and thermal performances of ventilated ...
Heat transport is an important, though often neglected function of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Thermal conductivity is a key property, especially in partially water saturated GDLs and when the phase change of wat ...
Despite governing heat management in any realistic device, the microscopic mechanisms of heat transport in all-solid-state electrolytes are poorly known: existing calculations, all based on simplistic semi-empirical models, are unreliable for superionic co ...
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 ...
High-energy physics (HEP) experiments and space missions share a common challenge: thermal management in harsh environments. The severe constraints in both fields make cooling of electronic components a major design concern. This thesis aims to develop hig ...
Superconductors are used in high-energy physics to generate large magnetic fields. The flowing current is progressively increased to its nominal value to achieve the target magnetic field. During the ramp-up progress, the varying magnetic field induces Edd ...
This paper advances the state-of-the-art in novel passive two-phase systems for more efficient cooling of datacenters and telecom central offices compared to the traditional air-based cooling solutions (e.g. aisle-based containment systems). The proposed p ...
Sequential impingement channels can reduce the adverse effect of crossflow in narrow impingement channels, as well as increase the cooling efficiency. In this work, sequential impingement channels are experimentally investigated using the transient liquid ...
