Najian Asl<br/> The aim of this research is to enhance the heat transfer of ventilated brake disks using modified vanes. The investigated braking scenario is a hold braking deceleration during a downhill drive. A simple model for computing the steady state vane's temperature is presented. The heat transfer coeffici ...

Thin film sensors have high response time (~ f ... [J. Thermal Sci. Eng. Appl. 3, 044504 (2011)] published Mon Oct 24, 2011. http://link.aip.org/link/doi/10.1115/1.4005074 Natalya A. Brikner, William G. Gardner, and Jonathan M. Protz<br/> A novel approach to propellant pressurization for microscale rocket engines is introduced. The Giffard injector is shown to be a viable alternative to turbomachinery for pressurizing the liquid propellants on board a microrocket, offering a design free of moving parts. Extending the authors' previou ... [J. Thermal Sci. Eng.

Michaelides<br/> The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has been widely used in the automotive and heavy-duty trucks to reduce NO, SO, and other controlled emissions. A liquid-cooled or air-cooled heat exchanger is the main constituent of the EGR system. The heat exchanger decreases the temperature of the exhaus ... [J. Thermal Sci. Eng.

Fleischer<br/> The thermal management of high density power electronics can be extremely challenging due to high power loads paired with small device footprints. When these power electronics are used in systems, which require extremely high reliability, the design of the thermal abatement system takes on increasin ... [J. Thermal Sci. Eng.

Marcinichen, Arnaud Bruch, and John Thome<br/> Due to the increase in energy prices and spiralling consumption, there is a need to greatly reduce the cost of electricity within data centers, where it makes up to 50% of the total cost of the IT infrastructure. A technological solution to this is using on-chip cooling with a single-phase or evapor ... [J. Thermal Sci. Eng.
