The microstructure of porous materials has a significant effect on their transport properties. Engineered cellular ceramics can be designed to exhibit properties at will, thanks to the advances in additive manufacturing. We investigated the heat and mass t ...
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 ...
This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art related to the heat transfer characteristics of narrow impingement cooling channels, which can nowadays be integrated within the external wall of turbine airfoils. Particular emphasis is given to the experimental ...
A multi-scale numerical methodology for the assessment of radiation and optical characteristics of complex structured soot-contaminated snow layers was investigated first. The methodology accounted for the exact morphology at the various scales and utilize ...
Heterogeneous materials are used in a wide range of applications involving high heat flux environments such as concentrated solar reactors, high-temperature furnaces, or thermal protection systems of space vehicles. The thermal response of heterogeneous ma ...
This article describes a study of beam radiation striking particle beds of randomly packed, spherical par-ticles. The current study is focused on concentrating solar power receivers which use solid particles as a heat transfer medium, but results are appli ...
The global tendency towards miniaturization driven by the microelectronics industry is pushing system density and packaging towards unprecedented values of thermal design power, with a dramatic reduction of the surface area of the devices. Vertical integra ...
In this paper, I will present an abridged overview of what is presented in my keynote lecture. I will recount some of the initial history of microchannel two-phase flow and boiling work by others that enticed me to join into the development of this field a ...
In this paper, a modification of the widely used transient liquid crystal heat transfer measurement technique for impingement cooling is presented, in which a constant heat flux at the surface is used to drive the experiment, instead of a step change in th ...
Power exhaust scenario and divertor design for a steady-state Japan (JA) DEMO and a pulse Europe (EU) DEMO1 have been investigated as one of the most important common issues in Broader Approach DEMO Design Activity. Radiative cooling is a common approach f ...
