ENHANCED SPECIFIC HEAT OF MOLTEN SALT NANOFLUIDS
(2016-05-13)Concentrated solar power uses general thermodynamic cycles (such as Rankine or Gas turbine cycle) to produce electricity and thus its efficiency primarily relies on the operating temperature of thermal energy storage. ... -
Micro/Nanoencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) toward High Temperature Thermal Energy Storage Applications
(2017-08-25)Thermal energy is one of the most important renewable energy sources because of its abundancy. However, despite the long history of people practically trying to harvest thermal energy, the efficiency of thermal energy ... -
Thermal Energy Storage for Expanded Use of Data Center Indirect/Direct Evaporative Cooling
(2016-08-10)Computer cooling system design evolved over time with goals of increasing efficiency and decreasing cost. Early computers were essentially hand-built and very expensive. Reliable operation required aggressive cooling to ...
