Conjugate heat transfer in isolated granular clusters with interstitial fluid using lattice Boltzmann method

Mehrdad Kiani Oshtorjani

The conjugate heat transfer in mixtures of a fluid and single granular clusters is studied in this paper using a novel lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) programmed for parallel computation on the graphics processing unit (GPU). The LBM is validated for heat c ...

Evaluation Criterion of Proton Exchange Membrane (ECPEM) fuel cells considering inserted porous media inside the gas flow channel

Jan Van Herle, Hossein Pourrahmani

The focus of this study is to evaluate the effects of porous media inside the gas flow channel of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) on four different output parameters of voltage, power density, pressure drop, and Nusselt number (Nu) considering ...

Wigner Formulation of Thermal Transport in Solids

Nicola Marzari, Michele Simoncelli

Two different heat-transport mechanisms are discussed in solids. In crystals, heat carriers propagate and scatter particlelike as described by Peierls's formulation of the Boltzmann transport equation for phonon wave packets. In glasses, instead, carriers ...

Flow Boiling of Carbon Dioxide at Different Channel Orientations for the Thermal Management of Future Detector Technologies at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN

David Schmid

The global warming potential (GWP) of working fluids in thermodynamic cycles and their environmental impact have been gaining considerable attention within the recent years. The global objectives on climate protection are becoming increasingly ambitious, w ...

A mechanistic assessment of urban heat island intensities and drivers across climates

Gabriele Manoli

The urban heat island effect (UHI) has been widely observed globally, causing climate, health, and energy impacts in cities. The UHI intensities have been found to largely depend on background climate and the properties of the urban fabric. Yet, a complete ...

Conductive Heat Transfer in Partially Saturated Gas Diffusion Layers with Evaporative Cooling

Sophia Haussener, Mirco Magnini

Heat transport is an important, though often neglected function of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Thermal conductivity is a key property, especially in partially water saturated GDLs and when the phase change of wat ...

Temperature- and vacancy-concentration-dependence of heat transport in Li3ClO from multi-method numerical simulations

Federico Grasselli, Paolo Pegolo

Despite governing heat management in any realistic device, the microscopic mechanisms of heat transport in all-solid-state electrolytes are poorly known: existing calculations, all based on simplistic semi-empirical models, are unreliable for superionic co ...

Process-informed adsorbent design guidelines for direct air capture

Berend Smit

Direct air capture using solid adsorbents is a proven technology critical to reducing our net greenhouse gas emissions to zero and beyond. Currently, academic research into the technology mainly focuses on the devel-opment of new adsorbents. However, there ...

Emergent thermophoretic behavior in chemical reaction systems

Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang

Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon is known as thermophoresis, and its microscopic origin is still debated. Here, we show that thermophoresis can be obser ...

Convection of water vapour in snowpacks

Michael Lehning, Varun Sharma, Mahdi Jafari

This paper studies numerically the convection of water vapour in snowpacks using an Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase approach. The convective water vapour transport in snow and its effects on snow density are often invoked to explain observed density profiles, ...

Near-junction microfluidic cooling for high power-density GaN-on-Si electronics: A wafer, device, packaging, and system-level investigation

Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp

Electrification of the energy section, from generation to end-use, plays an essential role in reducing global CO2 emission. Innovations in power electronics are required to increase conversion efficiency and power density. Gallium nitride (GaN) transistors ...
