In recent years micropump technology has gained considerable importance and has
become the highlighted area of research particularly for microfluidic applications. The …

To reduce the cost of the thermal diodes and increase its unidirectional heat transfer
reliability, a thermal diode with tesla valve structure is proposed and its thermal performance …

The operating temperature can significantly influence the performance, cycle life, and safety
of Li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. One of the critical factors is to assess the …

The Tesla valve (TV), a valvular conduit invented by Nicola Tesla over a century ago, has
recently acquired significant attention and application in various fields because of the …

Tesla valve is check valve with no-moving-part, which cannot completely suppress reverse
flow but has better reliability and flexibility than check valve with moving-part. Diodicity is …

Microfluidics has enabled a revolution in the manipulation of small volumes of fluids.
Controlling flows at larger scales and faster rates, or macrofluidics, has broad applications …

In this study, Al2O3-water nanofluids flowing through a micro-scale T45-R type Tesla valve
was investigated numerically. Both forward and reverse flows were investigated based on a …

A new Tesla-type valve is successfully designed for promoting circulation in a pulsating heat
pipe (PHP) and improving the thermal resistance. Its functionality and diodicity is tested by …

A multistage optimization method is developed yielding Tesla valves that are efficient even
at low flow rates, characteristic, eg, for almost all microfluidic systems, where passive valves …

Hydrogen fuel cell is an ideal power source for electric vehicles. For a hydrogen fuel cell
electric vehicle, the hydrogen is reserved in a high pressure level to promote the recharge …
