Journal ArticleDOI
Evaporating drops on patterned surfaces: Transition from pinned to moving triple line
TL;DR: The dimensionless evaporation rate constant is found to be higher during the moving TL phase in comparison with the pinned TL phase, and it is found that the triple line topology has no effect on the evapation rate constant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulated phase change material for high temperature thermal energy storage – Heat transfer analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the thermal expansion and volume expansion due to phase change on the energy storage and retrieval process are investigated with the consideration of a 20% void and buoyancy-driven convection in a stainless steel capsule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulated phase change materials for energy storage – Characterization by calorimetry
Ying Zheng,Weihuan Zhao,J. C. Sabol,Kemal Tuzla,Sudhakar Neti,Alparslan Oztekin,John C. Chen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed encapsulated phase change materials (EPCMs) that can store thermal energy at temperatures up to 450°C, suitable for applications in concentrating solar power systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of three-phase contact line topology on dynamic contact angles on heterogeneous surfaces.
Neeharika Anantharaju,Mahesh V. Panchagnula,Srikanth Vedantam,Sudhakar Neti,Svetlana Tatic-Lucic +4 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the contact angle is independent of area void fraction for surfaces with microcavities, which correspond to situations when the advancing contact line is continuous, in contrast with Cassie-Baxter theory, which uses areavoid fraction as the determining parameter, regardless of the type of roughness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle agglomeration and properties of nanofluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of agglomeration on the thermal and rheological properties are presented for several types of nanoparticles and base fluid chemistries, showing that a combination of base fluid chemistry and nanoparticle type is very important to create stable nanofluids.
