Radiative heat transfer is one of the most critical energy transfer mechanisms in nature. However, traditional blackbody radiation, due to its inherent characteristics, such as its non-directional, ...
In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of ...
The proposed analytical model defines the resulting thermal resistance of the corrugated sheath layer composed of a metallic sheath and air gaps. All three heat transfer mechanisms are considered, ...
A research team has found a way to make more efficient the desorption of water-adsorption polymers used in atmospheric water harvesting and desiccant air conditioning.
