Alloys based on lanthanum phosphate (LaPO4) are often employed as thermal barrier coatings, due to their low thermal conductivity and structural stability over a wide temperature range. To enhance the thermal-insulation performance of these alloys, it is e ...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have gained significant attention due to their high work density in order to fabricate compact and lightweight actuators. However, the major drawback of thermally activated SMAs is the time that takes for these materials to cool ...

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, ...

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 ...

Recent progress in understanding thermal transport in complex crystals has highlighted the prominent role of heat conduction mediated by interband tunneling processes, which emerge between overlapping phonon bands (i.e., with energy differences smaller tha ...

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 ...

WC-Co cemented carbides are composites, which combine a hard phase consisting of WC grains and a metallic ductile phase as a binder. Their excellent mechanical properties, combining high hardness, toughness and refractory properties, make them excellent ma ...

Net Surface Heat Flux (SurHF) was estimated from 2008 to 2014 for Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France), using long‐term temperature depth profiles at two locations, hourly maps of reanalysis meteorological data from a numerical weather model and lake surface w ...

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...

Layered ceramic systems with designed stacks of dense and porous layers were investigated as alternative for thermal barrier protection system (TBPs). This approach gives the possibility to obtain low thermal conductivity with the impact protection of dens ...

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 demonstrates that the impact of nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (ns-DBD) actuators on the structure of the boundary layer can be investigated using quantitative convective heat transfer measurements. For the experiments, the flow ...

The thermal properties of insulating, crystalline materials are essentially determined by their phonon dispersions, the finite-temperature excitations of their phonon populations-treated as a Bose-Einstein gas of harmonic oscillators-and the lifetimes of t ...

The motivation to study multiscale problems such as friction and crack propagation/nucleation has triggered the development of multiscale models. The state-of-the-art multiscale models that have been developed until today are successfully applied to a vari ...

We propose an improvement to the reduced basis method for parametric partial differential equations. An assumption of affine parameterization leads to an efficient offline-online decomposition when the problem is solved for many different parametric config ...

Graphene, a honeycomb lattice of a single atom thick plane of carbon atoms has captivated the attention of physicists, materials scientists, and engineers because of its extraordinary physical properties. These include exceedingly high charge carrier mobil ...
