Modern micro-jet engines remain limited by anisotropic temperature distributions and over-reliance on legacy analytical design methods, which fail to capture relevant viscous effects and impose bold geometry approximations, restricting efficiency, durability, and integration with UAV ... Read More
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems exploit the temperature difference between warm surface seawater and cold deep seawater to produce electricity or useful by-products. Because OTEC cycles operate with relatively small temperature differences, even minor heat gains in the ... Read More
Nuclear fusion offers the potential to provide a carbon-free, high-power, and sustainable energy source. Among the different fusion approaches, Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) relies on high-power laser beams irradiating a small spherical deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel capsule, inducing ... Read More
The generation of eruptible magma from long-lived, crystal-rich mush reservoirs is a central problem in volcanology. Many volcanoes erupt frequently from storage regions where the interstitial melt fraction sits below the eruptibility threshold of roughly 50 vol%, which implies that ... Read More
This axisymmetric model describes mass loss and resultant thermoelectric drift in a platinum-rhodium thermocouple wire, in air, operating inside a narrow aluminium oxide (alumina) bore with one end at high temperature and the other end at 0 °C. The key physical mechanism considered is ... Read More
Almost all industrial processes produce exhaust and use chemicals potentially harmful to humans. This is even more applicable for chemical industries whose primary raw materials and products may be detrimental to people’s health. As a result, people working or living nearby chemical ... Read More
The importance of blood glucose monitoring for diabetics cannot be overemphasized. However, all current CGM methods utilize the use of needles for inserting sensors. The use of optical sensors looks promising since it promises to become both non-invasive and reliable. However, there are ... Read More
Resistive heating elements and conductive cooling networks are everywhere, from heated aircraft wings and spacecraft thermal panels, to electric vehicle battery films, surgical warming blankets, semiconductor wafer chucks, microfluidic PCR chips, refrigeration coils, cold plates for high ...
