TL;DR: A new holistic approach provides a distinct advantage over similar porous media approaches by providing direct control and tuning of particle packing characteristics such as aggregate size, shape and pore size distributions and studying their influence directly on conduction and radiation independently.

TL;DR: In this article, the pore size distributions of the samples were measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry and used to calculate the gas thermal conductivity as a function of the residual pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermal Large Eddy Lattice Boltzmann Method (LES-LBM) is applied to investigate two concepts for optimized refrigerated vehicles: (a) the inclusion of vacuum insulation panels (VIP) in the refrigerated body's walls and (b) the introduction of a latent heat storage (LHS) to exchange fuel-driven air conditioning (AC), both with conveniently worth while potential to decrease fuel consumption and related emissions.

TL;DR: In this article, phase change materials (PCMs) are considered suitable storage media in these cases, and a eutectic salt hydrate mixture with a phase change temperature of approximately 21 °C was used.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented thermal conductivity measurements under different gas-pressure conditions for precipitated and fumed silica in combination with the following gases: helium, air, argon, carbon dioxide (CO$2), sulfur dioxide (SO$2}$), krypton, and sulfur hexafluoride (SF$6}$).
