J: Thermal Management
A section of Energies (ISSN 1996-1073).
Section Information
Thermal Management is the ability to control the temperature of a system by means of Technology based on Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics and Heat and Mass Transfer. The phrase Thermal Management is therefore describing all possible means and processes like conduction, convection, boiling, condensation, radiation, etc. to increase or decrease the temperature and/or the temperature distribution of a specified system. This Section applied novel research about the development and demonstration of components, equipment, technologies and systems involving thermal processes for the production, storage, utilization, and conservation of energy and thermal devices for the transport of heat or insulation.
