Heat Pipes 6th Edition, is an essential guide for practicing engineers and an ideal text for postgraduate students. This book takes a highly practical approach to the design and selection of heat pipes. This new edition has been updated with new information on the underlying theory of heat pipes and heat transfer, fully updated applications, new data sections, updated chapters on design and on electronics cooling applications. Reay's book is a useful reference as well as an accessible introduction for those approaching the topic for the first time. It contains all information required to design and manufacture a heat pipe. It is suitable for use as a professional reference and graduate text. It is revised with greater coverage of key electronic cooling applications.read more

Fighting global warming by climate engineering: Is the Earth radiation management and the solar radiation management any option for fighting climate change?
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical and technical potential of several disrupting technologies that could combat climate change by enhancing outgoing longwave radiation and cooling down the Earth is analyzed as they can at the same time produce renewable energy, thus reduce and prevent future greenhouse gases emissions, and also present a better societal acceptance comparatively to geoengineering.
