Using liquids for heat transfer is an important cooling method for many applications to maximize performance and operational life for thermally sensitive electronics and systems. As next generation ...

Cryogenic heat transfer and flow dynamics are critical components in numerous industrial and scientific applications, ranging from the safe handling of liquefied gases to advanced space propulsion ...

Unwanted heat is a problem for all hydraulic systems. Even a well-designed system operating at top efficiency converts about 20% of its input power to heat. An inefficient system, or one poorly ...

Power conversion devices such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) convert a small portion of the power flowing through them into heat. These losses are small as a percentage of the power ...

In the datacenter world, one of the biggest challenges – and one of the greatest opportunities – is heat. When server components operate, all the electrical energy they consume is ultimately converted ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...
