Millimeter-Wave Heating in In Vitro Studies: Effect of Convection in Continuous and Pulse-Modulated Regimes

Denys Nikolayev

Shallow penetration of millimeter waves (MMW) and non-uniform illumination in in vitro experiments result in a non-uniform distribution of the specific absorption rate (SAR). These SAR gradients trigger convective currents in liquids affecting transient an ...

Design and optimization of a high-temperature latent heat storage unit

Sophia Haussener, Ehsan Rezaei

High-temperature latent heat thermal energy storage systems offer compact storage solutions, benefiting from the large latent heat of phase change materials. Common challenges in their design process are the low thermal conductivity of the phase change mat ...

Modeling and experimentation of conductive and radiative transfer through heterogeneous insulators in high-flux environments

Jérémy Raphaël Mora-Monteros

Heterogeneous materials are used in a wide range of applications involving high heat flux environments such as concentrated solar reactors, high-temperature furnaces, or thermal protection systems of space vehicles. The thermal response of heterogeneous ma ...

Cfd-Based Correlation For Forced Convection Heat Transfer In Circular Ducts Of Internally Heated Molten Salts

Carlo Fiorina

Heat transfer phenomena involving internally heated fluid flows are of particular interest in several industrial applications, in chemical plants as in the nuclear field. This topic is relevant for the development of the Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) since i ...

Direct numberical simulation of turbulent slope flows up to Grash of number Gr=2.1 x 10(11)

Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Jiannong Fang, Marco Giovanni Giometto

Stably stratified turbulent flows over an unbounded, smooth, planar sloping surface at high Grashof numbers are examined using direct numerical simulations ( DNS). Four sloping angles ( alpha = 15 degrees; 30 degrees; 60 degrees and 90 degrees) and three G ...

Replicated microcellular aluminium structures for thermal management

Alexandros Athanasiou-Ioannou

Open-pore aluminium foams are of interest in thermal management of power electronics due to their large specific surface area, low weight and relatively high thermal conductivity. The replication process is a low-cost and simple foam manufacturing method t ...

Experimental evaluation of the thermal performances of a thermosyphon cooling system rejecting heat by natural and forced convection

John Richard Thome, Filippo Cataldo

In the present paper, a closed-loop thermosyphon cooling system for power electronics has been developed and tested. The evaporator is a multi-microchannel heat sink designed for high heat fluxes. The power electronics module is emulated by four independen ...
