TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present recent developments in synthesis methods of dimethyl ether as an alternative energy while focusing on conventional processes and innovative technologies in reactor design and employed catalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal performance of a cylindrical microchannel heat sink was experimentally investigated for potential cooling of electronic devices, which comprised of 86 rectangular microchannels with hydraulic diameter of 560μm assembled into a cylinrical geometry and a number of thermocouples were embedded along the microchannel to provide local temperature measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nanoparticle mass fraction and Re on local convective heat transfer coefficients, and the local Nusselt number was also studied. But the experimental results showed that increased mass fraction of nanoparticles from 0.05 to 0.3 wt% resulted in lower thermal resistances of up to 21%.

TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical correlation for prediction of enhancement factor is developed, and dispersed phase mass transfer coefficients predicted by the proposed correlation are in good compatibility with experimental results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the convective heat transfer of the nano-encapsulated phase change material (NPCM) slurry stream in a double-pipe heat exchanger.
