From aspect of energy consuming to pump heat transfer fluid, there is no sound basis on which to create an optimum design of a thermal energy storage unit. Thus, it is necessary to develop a parameter to indicate the energy efficiency of such unit. This paper firstly defines a parameter that...

The multi-channels plate heat exchangers are recommended to be used in the high-efficiency power and propulsion systems. The present study analyzes the large fluid flow maldistribution occurring at the inlet manifold configurations of a high temperature heat exchanger with CFD (computational...

Comparative studies of two polymorphs ( \hbox{$P\overline{6}2m$} P 6 2 m and Pnma structures) of Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>P up to 16.8 GPa and 1800 ± 200 K were performed using Mössbauer spectroscopy combined with diamond anvil cell and laser heating facilities. Mössbauer spectra were collected before and after...</subscript>

Rapid industrialization, as one of the main driving forces promoting sustainable economic growth, has increased the area of industrial land use significantly. Industrial land use manifests that the competition between it and other kinds of land use is growing. During the last decade in China,...
