TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a mathematical model yielding a sensible, albeit simplified representation of the dynamic thermal behavior of actual green roofs, concluding that green roofs do not act as cooling devices but as insulation ones, reducing the heat flux through the roof.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical investigation of predicting thermal characteristics of electronic equipment using carbon foam matrix saturated with phase change material (PCM) and nano carbon tubes as thermal management modules is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed experimental study of a hybrid composite system for thermal management of electronics devices was performed and three different TM modules made of pure carbon foam (CF), a composite of CF and Paraffin wax (RT65) as a phase change material (PCM), and a composite CF, RT65 and multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), as a thermal conductivity enhancer were developed and tested.

TL;DR: In this article, a new elaboration method has been proposed as an alternative to graphite foams infiltration, which consists of cold-compression of a physical mixing of expanded natural graphite particles and salt powder.

TL;DR: In this paper, two different compression routes have been investigated: uni-axial compression and isostatic compression for improving the thermal conductivity of graphite/salt composite.
