In high energy physics, semiconductor-based sensors are widely used in particle tracking applications. These sensors are typically glued on low-mass cooling substrates, which guarantee the correct thermal management and, at the same time, minimise their in ...
The electrostatic screening properties of ionic fluids are of paramount importance in countless physical processes. Yet the screening behavior of ionic conductors out of thermal equilibrium has to date mainly been studied in the context of thermoelectric p ...
In situ energy generation in soft, flexible, autonomous devices is challenging due to the need for highly stretchable and fault-resistant components. Nanofluids with pyro-, tribo-, or thermoelectric properties have recently emerged as promising solutions f ...
Predicting the thermal conductivity of glasses from first principles has hitherto been a very complex problem. The established Allen-Feldman and Green-Kubo approaches employ approximations with limited validity-the former neglects anharmonicity, the latter ...
Additive Manufacturing also commonly referred as 3D printing has been given a lot of interest lately. Market is growing exponentially and the aim for obtaining more complex and ready-to use parts is emerging. All the 3D printing processes consist in buildi ...
A novel setup has been designed and mounted to investigate the local electrochemical and thermal behavior of a cell from a 4-cell short stack under reversible operation solid oxide fuel cell/solid oxide electrolyzer (SOFC/SOE). It consists in the partition ...
Professionals in the building design and operation fields typically look at standards and guidelines as a reliable source of information and guidance with regard to procedural, contractual, and legal scope and requirements that are relevant to accountabili ...
Current thermal comfort models used in practice do not consider physiological and psychological differences of people. With this respect, human thermo-physiology models (HTPM) are useful tools to assess human thermal comfort at local and overall levels of ...
Thermoelectric conversion remains an active research field in light of its potential to enhance energy efficiency by waste heat recovery in a noise and wear-free manner.Nanostructuring is responsible for most of the recently reported improvements of the ...
