THE FIRST STEP when specifying and recommending a residential heating system is to determine the heat load for the project. Here is software that can speed that process and guarantee accuracy.

Thermal effects can increase or decrease bolt load and clamping capability. Measuring the angle of nut rotation can sometimes be used to gage preload. Modeling the ...

Novel research from Germany and the USA has analyzed the impact of heat pump (HP) integration on the ability of day-ahead load forecasting in energy communities. Using different models, the scientists ...

In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature to ...

Advances in the development of high power and high performance electronic devices demand innovative approaches for heat transfer materials. While it is given that thermal performance must be maximized ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are common and (look) simple, but simple (and usefully accurate) design models and equations for them are less common. This design model has served well in a variety of ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Masahiro Kobayashi of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has discovered that in the Large Helical Device (LHD), when fluctuations are ...
