This paper presents an analytical investigation of heat-transfer limits of a novel solar loop-heat pipe developed for space heating and domestic hot water use. In the loop-heat pipe, the condensate liquid returns to the evaporator via small specially...
This paper provides the results of experimental investigations of the exemplary mini-channel heat exchanger in its application as a condenser and an evaporator in a compressor refrigeration system with propane as a working fluid. The aim of the inves...
This review presents the nucleate/convective boiling performance for a variety of important low global warming potential (LGWP) alternatives to commonly used high-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants (such as R-134a, R404A, and R-410A, etc.)....
This paper deals with experimental investigations of flow boiling in tubular ducts of selected refrigerants—R134a, R507A, and R600a—under near-critical pressures. Near-critical boiling is characterised by low specific enthalpy of evaporat...
A metallic wire mesh screen, wire diameter of approximately 50 μm, is folded into ~80 “accordion-shaped” mini-channels and placed inside the evaporator package of a novel passive thermal management device for cooling overhead light-emi...
The condensate on the surface of the minichannel heat exchanger generated during air cooling substantially reduces the heat transfer performance as it works as an evaporator in the air-conditioning system. This has received much attention in scientif...
Collecting energy from the ambient environment through green and sustainable methods is highly expected to alleviate pollution and energy problems worldwide. Here, we report a facile and flexible hydrovoltaic generator capable of utilizing natural wa...
