Silicon-based aerogel (SA) has attracted increasingly more attention in the field of thermal
insulation as its extraordinary properties such as ultralight, ultra-low thermal conductivity …

Solid oxide cells are an exciting technology for energy conversion. Fuel cells, based on solid
oxide technology, convert hydrogen or hydrogen-rich fuels into electrical energy, with …

In this paper thermal properties for materials typically used in the proton exchange
membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) are reported. Thermal conductivities of Nafion membranes …

Use of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been extended to analyze radiative transport
problems in an absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium. In terms of collision and …

An experimental study was performed to determine the through-plane thermal conductivity of
various gas diffusion layer materials and thermal contact resistance between the gas …

The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

Radiative transport within the electrode and electrolyte layers, as well as surface-to-surface
radiation within the fuel and oxygen flow channels, has the potential to dramatically …

There are several models for the effective thermal conductivity of two-phase composite
materials in terms of the conductivity of the solid and the disperse material. In this paper, we …

THE concept of thermal insulation is strongly associated with the concept of heat transfer
control. In the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO's) EN 9229: 2007, the …

A multilayer insulation (MLI) is a passive thermal protection system used in cryogenics and
space exploration programs as a thermal insulator. It is very thin and light weight. Due to …
