TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent impinging jet research publications identified a series of engineering research tasks that are important for improving the design and resulting performance of impinging jets: (1) clearly resolve the physical mechanisms by which multiple peaks occur in the transfer coefficient profiles, and clarify which mechanism(s) dominate in various geometries and Reynolds number regimes.

TL;DR: In this article, an assessment of membrane distillation (MD) based on the available state-of-the art and on preliminary analysis is presented. But the results of this study are limited, and better experimental work is needed.

TL;DR: The impact of rapidly growing economies of the highly populated countries, as well as of the concern about global warming, are presented and assessed in this paper, where a brief discussion of the status and prospects of fossil, nuclear and renewable energy use, and of power generation (including hydrogen, fuel cells, micro power systems, and the futuristic concept of generating power in space for terrestrial use, is given.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative strengths and drawbacks of the κ-e, κ −ω, Reynolds stress model, algebraic stress models, shear stress transport, and ν 2f turbulence models for impinging jet flow and heat transfer are compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief discussion of the status, sustainability (economic, environmental and social impact), and prospects of fossil, nuclear and renewable energy use, and of power generation (including hydrogen, fuel cells, micropower systems, and the futuristic concept of generating power in space for terrestrial use), is presented.
