Effective pipe-to-borehole thermal resistance for vertical ground heat exchangers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective pipe-to-borehole thermal resistance of a vertical ground heat exchanger is investigated numerically and an analysis is carried out to determine the dimensionless geometrical parameters affecting such resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intense pulsed light induced platinum–gold alloy formation on carbon nanotubes for non-enzymatic glucose detection
TL;DR: In this paper, the two metal layers (Pt, Au) were sputtered on CNTs and the intense pulsed light (IPL) was irradiated on the metal layers, forming Pt-Au alloy phase.

Thermal investigation of PCM-based high temperature thermal energy storage in packed bed
Hao Peng,Huihua Dong,Xiang Ling +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of a packed bed latent heat thermal energy storage system with phase change material (PCM) capsules as filler is analyzed using enthalpy method, and the results indicated that decreasing the size of capsule and fluid inlet velocity, or increasing the storage height, results in an increase in the charge efficiency.
