Enhancing power density inevitably means dealing with heat. Fortunately, advances in material sciences, especially thermal ...

Research has shown that a number of metallic and nonmetallic nanoparticles are useful in increasing the thermal conductivity of a fluid in comparison to the base fluid. Particles such as Al 2 O 3, CuO ...

Researchers have solved a long-standing puzzle about lower measured thermal conductivity values of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) bulk crystals in the literature than the structurally more complex ...
