Specific heat is a key thermal property in energy systems and is directly linked with heat
storage and transfer. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) power plants which incorporate …

Nanotechnology has evolved in many directions over the last decade. The current review
study summarizes a number of important research works that have been published on …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquid salts at ambient or lower temperatures and consist of ions and
short-lived ion pairs. They are potential alternatives to toxic, hazardous, highly flammable …

Ionic liquids, and their solid-state equivalents organic ionic plastic crystals, show many
useful and tailorable properties that make them interesting for a wide range of applications …

In this work, the shear-thickening (ST) performance of a novel suspension of ceria and silica
mixed nanoparticles was systematically studied. Ceria/silica-shear-thickening fluids (CeO …

Ionic liquids are a very new class of fluids with excellent tunable properties and recently
considered also for heat exchange applications. This review paper come into support of the …

Due to the improved thermophysical characteristics of ionic liquids (ILs), such as their strong
ionic conductivity, negligible vapor pressure, and thermal stability at high temperatures, they …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are energy dissipative materials and affected significantly by
the properties of the dispersing media. Most of the dispersing media are polymeric or …

The benefits of using salts in their liquid form as electrolytes or reaction media have long
been recognized. For example, Faraday developed his laws of electrolysis in the 1830s …

Ionic liquids with the dicyanamide anion, namely, with 1-alkyl-imidazolium cations, have
been receiving attention recently due to their potential applications. The utilization of these …
