Since their conception, nanofluids have been successfully used in devices of heat transfer because of their enhancing thermal conductivity. These fluids do not have the drawbacks of the earlier ...

Cool Polymers Warwick, R.I. It's no secret that designers don't hesitate putting plastics in products that serve almost every industry and market sector. But as the demand for smaller, ...

Thermal insulation is installed on almost every piping system and much of the plant equipment at power generation facilities. It not only saves energy, but also protects workers, reduces noise, helps ...

A nanofluid is a fluid that contains nanoparticles that have been dispersed evenly throughout the fluid. Nanoparticles, generally smaller than 100 nanometers, are combined with a base fluid (such as ...

With electronic devices gaining power and losing bulk, design engineers have really started to feel the heat. Thermal management once meant a few well-placed fans, vents, and aluminum heat sinks. But ...

Explore the importance of thermal management in electric vehicles and how thermal adhesives enhance efficiency and safety.

New technology from University of Houston researchers could improve the way devices manage heat, thanks to a technique that allows heat to flow in only one direction. The innovation is known as ...
