Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of superhydrophobic and ice-repellent surfaces on pure aluminium using single and multiscaled periodic textures.
TL;DR: Using finite element simulations, it was found that the main reason behind the ice-prevention is the change in the droplet geometrical shape due to the hydrophobic nature of the treated surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal analysis of nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material solidification in a rectangular latent heat storage unit including natural convection
TL;DR: In this article, the solidification process of nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (NEPCM) filled in a rectangular latent heat storage unit (LHSU) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear-Control Strategy for Advanced Vehicle Thermal-Management Systems
TL;DR: A comprehensive nonlinear-control architecture is proposed for transient-temperature tracking and Representative numerical and experimental results are discussed to demonstrate the functionality of the thermal-management system in accurately tracking the prescribed temperature profiles and minimizing electrical power consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental and modelling study of a 1 kW organic Rankine cycle unit with mixture working fluid
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of using a zeotropic mixture as working fluid through an experimental study with a lab-scale ORC (organic Rankine cycle) test rig.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and Numerical Analyses of a Pressurized Air Receiver for Solar-Driven Gas Turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-temperature pressurized air-based receiver for power generation via solar-driven gas turbines is experimentally and theoretically examined, which consists of an annular reticulate porous ceramic (RPC) foam concentric with an inner cylindrical cavity-receiver exposed to concentrated solar radiation.
