This review provides a critical assessment of the current state of affairs regarding the solvation thermodynamics involving mixed-solvent systems. It focuses specifically on (i) its rigorous molecular-based foundations, (ii) the underlying connection...

A new transient technique of the thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurement for anisotropic materials is presented and validated. It is based on measuring the through-plane properties using the extended dynamic plane source (EDPS) method and in...

One method of nuclear energy development involves using helium. Its properties make using extended surfaces obligatory. However, currently nuclear technology does not typically use finned tubes. This study explores ways of enhancing heat transfer eff...

Thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are used broadly to study the kinetics of thermally stimulated processes such as thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) or thermal polymerization. These studies typically yield the activat...

Microwave heating, which is caused by the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and materials, has become an important component in industrial operations across numerous industries. Despite their importance, conventional numerical simulations of m...

In thermodynamic theory, free energy (i.e., available energy) is the concept facilitating the combined applications of the theory’s two fundamental laws, the first and the second laws of thermodynamics. The critical step was taken by Kelvin, th...

The use of thermal energy storage (TES) contributes to the ongoing process of integrating various types of energy resources in order to achieve cleaner, more flexible, and more sustainable energy use. Numerical modelling of hot storage packed bed sto...
