Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

There are various things we need for survival. Like water, food and energy. On the last point, our primary source of energy is the Sun, but our relationship with it can only be described as delicate.

Heat transfer depends on the efficiency of contact between air and water flowing through a tower, which means that cooling tower fill design is critical to air-water mixing. Part 1 of this series ...

In direct systems, the fuel is synthesised directly at the point of light absorption. This means that the sun's energy is utilised directly to produce the fuel. In indirect systems, on the other hand, ...

Thermal insulation is installed on almost every piping system and much of the plant equipment at power generation facilities. It not only saves energy, but also protects workers, reduces noise, helps ...

Heat transfer between objects a few molecules apart is 100x higher than predicted, confirmed by new data. Cause unknown but key for nanoscale temperature control. (Nanowerk News) More heat is ...

Many power plants and other industrial facilities utilize open recirculating cooling systems equipped with cooling towers for heat transfer from condensers and other heat exchangers. Cooling towers ...
