Advances in Electronics Cooling

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Jonathan Olivier, Nicolas Lamaison

This article highlights the advantages of on-chip microchannel cooling technology, based on first-and second-law analysis and experimental tests on two types of cooling cycles, the first driven by an oil-free liquid pump and the second by an oil-free vapor ...

Evaluation of cation-exchanged zeolite adsorbents for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture

Wendy Lee Queen

Zeolite adsorbents were evaluated for potential application in post-combustion CO2 capture using a new high-throughput gas adsorption instrument capable of measuring 28 samples in parallel. Among the zeolites tested, Ca-A exhibits the highest CO2 uptake (3 ...

Nafion/chitosan-wrapped CNT nanocomposite membrane for high-performance direct methanol fuel cells

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Songmei Wu, Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi, Fatemeh Sadat Majedi

Here we show that the transport properties and electrochemical performance of polyelectrolyte membranes are improved through the dispersion of chitosan-wrapped carbon nanotubes, for direct methanol fuel cell applications. Methanol permeability is reduced v ...

In silico screening of carbon-capture materials

Berend Smit

One of the main bottlenecks to deploying large-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in power plants is the energy required to separate the CO 2 from flue gas. For example, near-term CCS technology applied to coal-fired power plants is projected t ...

On-chip two-phase cooling of datacenters: Cooling system and energy recovery evaluation

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Jonathan Olivier

Cooling of datacenters is estimated to have an annual electricity cost of 1.4 billion dollars in the United States and 3.6 billion dollars worldwide. Currently, refrigerated air is the most widely used means of cooling datacenter’s servers, which typically ...

Hydration, microstructural development and dimensional stability of cementitious materials made of portland cement clinker and fluoroanhydrite

Carolina Prieto Gomez

The production of Portland cement accounts for 5 to 8% of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the past years, the cement industry has attempted to reduce this contribution by the use of mineral additions on the cement or in the concrete mix. The typ ...
