Concentrated solar energy is an ideal energy source for hightemperature energy conversion processes such as concentrated solar power generation, solar thermochemical fuel production, and solar driven hightemperature electrolysis. Indirectly irradiated sola ...
Open-pore aluminium foams are of interest in thermal management of power electronics due to their large specific surface area, low weight and relatively high thermal conductivity. The replication process is a low-cost and simple foam manufacturing method t ...
Heat transfer phenomena involving internally heated fluid flows are of particular interest in several industrial applications, in chemical plants as in the nuclear field. This topic is relevant for the development of the Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) since i ...
Heat exchangers are key components of energy conversion systems, including HVAC&R equipment. The compact microchannel design of a heat exchanger (MCHX) allows for significant reduction of its volume, weight, and raw material, in comparison to conventional ...
Plate heat exchangers are adopted in many domestic and industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, evaporation or condensation process, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. In the present thesis, an extensive expe ...
An experimental study was completed on the heat transfer induced by a single elongated vapor bubble rising in vertical, upward, co-current flow at various accelerations. The bubble shape and behavior were also studied under those conditions. Tests were con ...
The present study demonstrates an alternative approach for describing fluid flow characteristics very close to the wall, using locally resolved convective heat transfer experiments. Heat transfer coefficients on the base surface and around a surface mounted v ...
Boiling heat transfer in microchannels has been investigated extensively in the last two decades. However, most results from independent experimental studies display a substantial disagreement on the influence of the flow conditions and mechanisms on the h ...
This paper reports on a theoretical analysis of the rich variety of spatio-temporal patterns observed recently in inclined layer convection at medium Prandtl number when varying the inclination angle gamma and the Rayleigh number R. The present numerical i ...
In the second article of the present two-part paper, upward single-phase heat transfer within a compact plate heat exchanger was investigated experimentally. The experimental setup, the data reduction technique and pressure drop results were presented in P ...
