The limitation of hot spot cooling in microchips represents an important hurdle for the electronics industry to overcome with coolers yet exceed efficiencies required. Nanotechnology‐enabled heat sinks that can be magnetophoretically formed onto spots within a microfluidic environment are presented. CrO 2 nanoparticles, which dynamically chained and docked spots, establish tuneable high‐aspect‐ratio nanofins exchange between these liquid coolant. These also grown released on demand,...
Solar energy is one of the best sources renewable with minimal environmental impact. Direct absorption solar collectors have been proposed for a variety applications such as water heating; however efficiency these limited by properties working fluid, which very poor typical fluids used in collectors. It has shown that mixing nanoparticles liquid (nanofluid) dramatic effect on thermophysical thermal conductivity. Nanoparticles also offer potential improving radiative liquids, leading to an...
Optical filters are essential in a wide range of applications, including optical communications, electronics, lighting, sensors and photography. This article presents recent work which indicates that can be created from specialized nanoparticle suspensions. Specifically, this describes theoretical optimization process for designing nanofluid-based hybrid solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) applications. particular application is suitable because nanofluids utilized as both volumetric absorbers...
Diatoms produce diverse three-dimensional regular silica structures with nanometer to micrometer dimensions and hold considerable promise for biological biomimetic fabrication of nanostructured materials devices. In the present work, we describe ultrastructural characterization porous in diatom biosilica discuss their potential as membrane filters diffusion based separations. The frustules two centric species, Coscinodiscus sp. Thalassiosira eccentrica, were investigated using scanning...
Efficient absorption of solar radiation is desired for the renewable energy sector, such as thermophotovoltaics and thermal applications. In order to minimize re‐radiation, wavelength‐selective devices are required. Absorbers with structured surfaces attractive because they derive their electromagnetic properties a greater extent from geometry lesser intrinsic constituent materials. Thus, offer flexibility in design control absorber features can be tailored suit requirements. This article...
In this article we report recent modeling and design work indicating that mixtures of nanoparticles in liquids can be used as an alternative to conventional optical filters. The major motivation for creating liquid filters is they pumped out a system meet transient needs application. To demonstrate the versatility new class filters, present nanofluids use long-pass, short-pass, bandpass using simple Monte Carlo optimization procedure. With relatively mixtures, achieve with <15% mean-squared...
Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit large surface areas and low thermal conductivity, making them promising for thermoelectric generation. However, their limited electrical conductivity poses a significant hurdle to be practically useful. Traditionally, enhancing the of MOFs typically comes at cost reducing area, thereby increasing conductivity. This study introduces an approach simultaneously boost porosity MOF‐based material while maintaining remarkably The electrically...
