Thermal energy storage and transport are central to the wide application of renewable
energy. With excellent storage capacities, latent heat storage is more promising than …

Thermal energy storage materials (TES) are considered promising for a large number of
applications, including solar energy storage, waste heat recovery, and enhanced building …

A new method for supercooling suppression of microencapsulated phase change materials
(PCMs) has been developed by optimizing the composition and structure of the …

Efficient conversion of sunlight into useful heat or work is of increasing global interest. Solar-
to-thermal energy conversion, as opposed to solar-to-electricity, is enabled by solar thermal …

Previous research on nanofluids has primarily focused on how to increase thermal
conductivity of the fluids. Here, the use of phase change materials as nanoparticles in …

The modeling of the viscous behavior of nanoemulsions and nanosuspensions is discussed.
The influences of the viscosity ratio, solvation and aggregation of nanodroplets and …

In an age of increasing heat fluxes and power loads in applications as diverse as power
electronics, renewable energy, transportation, and medical equipment, liquid cooling …

Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) have many industrial and civil applications, including in transport,
energy supply, air-conditioning and electronic cooling, etc. Traditional HTFs, such as water …

We carry out experimental studies of turbulent convective heat transfer of several n-decane-
in-water nanoemulsions and micelles-in-water fluids. We characterize the viscosity and …

Galinstan is a eutectic alloy of gallium, indium, and tin, of which thermal conductivity is∼ 27
times higher than that of water, while the dynamic viscosity is only twice. Thus, heat transfer …
