Journal ArticleDOI
Non-uniform heat transfer suppression to enhance PCM melting by angled fins
TL;DR: In this article, a transient numerical model is developed to study the heat transfer and melting behaviors of phase change materials (PCMs) vertically heated from one side of a rectangular enclosure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation on PCM melting enhancement with double-fin length arrangements in a rectangular enclosure induced by natural convection
TL;DR: In this article, the phase change melting enhancement in a latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit by arranging the internal double-fin length was investigated, and two schemes for double fin setting in unequal length were proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing the performance of paper-based electrochemical impedance spectroscopy nanobiosensors: An experimental approach.
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of paper-based EIS biosensors featuring zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) directly grown on working electrodes (WEs) was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fighting COVID-19: Integrated Micro- and Nanosystems for Viral Infection Diagnostics.
TL;DR: This Perspective reviews the previous and ongoing research efforts on developing integrated micro- and nanosystems for nucleic acid-based virus detection, and highlights promising technologies that could provide better solutions for the diagnosis of COVID-19 and other viral infectious diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional transient numerical study on latent heat thermal storage for waste heat recovery from a low temperature gas flow
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) system to recover the waste thermal energy from a low temperature gas flow, where Paraffin wax was selected as the phase change materials (PCMs) for energy storage.
