Comprehensive Evaluation of Paraffin-HDPE Shape stabilized PCM with Hybrid Carbon Nano-additives
Thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) is of great interests in many fields, especially in solar thermal applications. To overcome the leakage problem caused by phase change and the low thermal ... -
Computational and experimental investigations of an omni-flow wind turbine
Ying, P.; Chen, Y.K.; Xu, Y.G.; Tian, Y. (Article)Both numerical and experimental studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of an omni-flow wind turbine designed to provide renewable electricity on the top of urban buildings like skyscrapers. The numerical approach ... -
Effects of multiple sintering parameters on the thermal performance of bi-porous nickel wicks in Loop Heat Pipes
Qu, Y.; Zhou, Kan; Zhang, Kunfeng; Tian, Y. (Article)The thermal performances of a bi-porous nickel wicks in Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) including porosity, permeability, capillary pumping head and effective thermal conductivity (ETC) have been examined theoretically and experimentally, ... -
An experimental and numerical examination on the thermal inertia of a cylindrical lithium-ion power battery
Thermal issues are increasingly critical for the scaling-up and integrated deployment of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To make battery temperature control more accurate, a concept of thermal inertia was proposed to cylindrical ... -
Experimental study on thermal conductivity of paraffin-based shape-stabilized phase change material with hybrid carbon nano-additives
Thermal energy storage with Phase Change Materials (PCMs) is one of the most potential technologies for energy storage. However the low thermal conductivity of PCMs reduces the heat exchange rate during melting and ... -
Improved thermal performance of a large laminated lithium-ion power battery by reciprocating air flow
Thermal safety issues are increasingly critical for large-size laminated Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs). Despite a number of investigations conducted on the Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) with reciprocating air-flow ... -
Infrared imaging investigation of temperature fluctuation and spatial distribution for a large laminated lithium ion power battery
The present study investigates the thermal behaviors of a naturally cooled NCM-type LIB (LiNi1−x−yCoxMnyO2 as cathode) from an experimental and systematic approach. The temperature distribution was acquired for different ... -
