Since the 1930s, theories of skin-friction drag from plates with rough surfaces have been based by analogy to turbulent flow in pipes with rough interiors. Failure of this analogy at small fluid velocities has frustrated attempts to create a comprehe...

In recent years, the European Union’s legislation about sustainable development has promoted the gradual decarbonization of all industrial sectors, pushing towards the final goal of a carbon-neutral European glass industry in 2050. Moreover, th...

This study regards the evaluation of the performance of a thermally stratified tank as an intermediate combi-storage tank for a solar-driven residential thermal system coupled to a seasonal energy storage system. In such applications, the efficient o...

We pursue to illustrate the capabilities of the Dual Model of Liquids (DML) showing that it may explain crossed effects notable in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics (NET). The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that the DML may correctly model the therm...

In order to conduct thermal analysis of concrete dams, it is necessary to assess and validate the spatiotemporal representations used for modeling the solar radiation and the water temperature boundary conditions. To illustrate this procedure, the th...

A composite material of alginate and CaCl₂ was tested in a laboratory reactor (1 L) for its ability to thermochemically store heat. The material was exposed to air at 25 °C and 25% RH to prevent the salt from dissolving, and the heat evolution wa...

The recent literature has introduced the use of architected materials with a metallic lattice structure-based topology to enhance the thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCM). The potential of such structures lies in the freedom of design...

The discrepancy between the calculated (CBS-4M/Jenkins) and experimentally determined enthalpies of formation recently reported for the 2:1 salt TKX-50 raised the important question of whether the enthalpies of formation of other 2:1 C, H, N, O salts...

Specific heat capacity at constant pressure c_p (J K⁻¹ g⁻¹) is an important thermodynamic property that helps material scientists better understand molecular structure and physical properties. Engineers control temperature (through heat transfer) in p...

Metallic monolith structures are often used in compact reactor applications due to their superior heat transfer properties and lower pressure drop when compared to ceramic monoliths. Endothermic reactions like steam reforming depend heavily on extern...
