Today a crude oil barrel has five times the prize it had fifteen years ago, moreover, we have increased our global energy consumption by almost 40 percent since then and population growing rates are higher than ever before. In addition, recent tragic event ...
Liquid cooling has emerged as a promising solution for addressing the elevated temperatures in 3D stacked architectures. In this work, we first propose a framework for detailed thermal modeling of the microchannels embedded between the tiers of the 3D syst ...
Thermal designers of data centers and server manufacturers are showing a greater concern regarding the cooling of the new generation data centers, which consume considerably more electricity and dissipate much more waste heat, a situation that is creating ...
A mechanism to accurately assess the performance of complex fenestration systems (CFS) is crucial for driving the appropriate adoption of these technologies to improve user comfort and energy use in both new construction and retrofit design. Typically, CFS ...
High zirconia refractories are composed of a zirconia skeleton surrounded by an intergranular glassy phase. In these materials, zirconia undergoes up to two successive phase transitions during the manufacturing process, c → t then t → m. This leads, after ...
Energy storage systems are becoming more important for load leveling, especially for widespread use of intermittent renewable energy. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising method for energy storage, but large scale CAES is dependent on suitab ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from these large ...
The possibility of combining both the advantages of a solar tower thermal power plant and of a solar parabolic trough power plant could be interesting from an energetic point of view as well from an economic point of view. The preliminary study of this com ...
Résumé : Les procédés agroalimentaires sont des procédés industriels consommateurs de grandes quantités d’énergie, aussi bien de refroidissement que de chauffage. Il est donc intéressant d’optimiser cette consommation. L’analyse pinch, méthode systématique ...
3D stacked circuits reduce communication delay in multicore system-on-chips (SoCs) and enable heterogeneous integration of cores, memories, sensors, and RF devices. However, vertical integration of layers exacerbates the reliability and thermal problems, a ...
