Thermal Transport across Solid Interfaces with Nanoscale Imperfections: Effects of Roughness, Disorder, Dislocations, and Bonding on Thermal Boundary Conductance

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of interfacial nanoscale imperfections, such as surface roughness, compositional disorder, atomic dislocations, or interfacial bonding, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

An assessment of solar-powered organic Rankine cycle systems for combined heating and power in UK domestic applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a small-scale combined solar heat and power (CSHP) system based on an organic rankine cycle (ORC) was investigated for the combined provision of heating and power for domestic use in the UK.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of the orientation and proportion of a plant-covered wall layer on the thermal performance of a building zone

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the orientation and proportion (covering percentage) of plant-covered wall sections on the thermal behavior of typical buildings in the Greek region during the summer period was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive Sintering of Copper Nanoparticles Using Intense Pulsed Light for Printed Electronics

TL;DR: In this paper, the IPL process successfully removed the oxide shells of copper nanoparticles, leaving a conductive, pure copper film in a short period of time (2 ms) under ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing dropwise condensation through bioinspired wettability patterning.

TL;DR: The bioinspired interdigitated pattern is found to outperform the straight hydrophilic-superhydrophilic pattern design, particularly under higher humidity conditions in the presence of noncondensable gases (NCG), a condition that is more challenging for maintaining sustained DWC.
