Turbulent convective heat transfer of silica oxide nanofluid through corrugated channels: An experimental and numerical study

TL;DR: In this paper, the forced convective turbulent flow of SiO2-water nanofluid through different corrugated channels is studied numerically and experimentally, and the results show that the corrugation profile has a significant impact on heat transfer enhancement compared to the straight profile.

Numerical investigation on integrated thermal management for a lithium-ion battery module with a composite phase change material and liquid cooling

TL;DR: In this article, a novel thermal management system was proposed based on paraffin (RT44HC)/expanded graphite (EG) composite phase change material (CPCM) coupled with liquid cooling to maintain the temperature rise and difference within a desirable range of lithium-ion batteries at a discharge rate of 3C.

Potential of solar heat pipe vacuum collectors in the desiccant cooling process: Modelling and experimental results

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of heat pipe vacuum tube (HPVT) collectors in a solar desiccant cooling set up and the experimentally evaluated efficiency of the HPVT collectors for one operating day varies between 0.6 and 0.7.
Journal ArticleDOI

Model based temperature controller development for water cooled PEM fuel cell systems

TL;DR: In this article, a closed loop water circulation strategy is considered and evaluated for cooling a 3 kW PEM fuel cell, which consists of a water circulation pump and a radiator coupled to a fan, integrated with the fuel cell stack.

Technoeconomic modelling and optimisation of solar combined heat and power systems based on flat-box PVT collectors for domestic applications

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated solar combined heat and power (S-CHP) systems based on hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors for the simultaneous provision of domestic hot water (DHW), space heating (SH) and power to single-family homes.
