A Dutch research team has outlined a new method to assess the coefficient of performance of air-to-water heat pumps by considering ambient temperature and relative humidity. The model is based on the ...

A Li-ion battery pack (green T-shaped arrangement) in an electric hybrid must maximize power capacity but fit into a tight space, making cooling and temperature controls more critical. In front of the ...

Designers increasingly run their own flow and heat-transfer simulations rather than sending them out to analysts. Designers increasingly run their own flow and heat-transfer simulations rather than ...

Heat is an interesting form of energy. Not only does it sustain life, make us comfortable and help us prepare our food, but understanding its properties is key to many fields of scientific research.

It’s a simple fact that, in this universe at least, energy is always conserved. For the typical electronic system, this means that the energy put into the system must eventually leave the system.

Mesh adaption and morphing in CFD has been primarily focused on the manipulation of grids defining fluid domains. Numerous studies exist investigating mesh ...
