Contact Angle Measurements for Advanced Thermal Management Technologies

Integrated vehicle thermal management for advanced vehicle propulsion technologies: Preprint

A critical element to the success of new propulsion technologies that enable reductions in fuel use is the integration of component thermal management technologies within a viable vehicle package. Vehicle operation requires vehicle thermal management systems capable of balancing the needs of multiple vehicle systems that may require heat for operation, require cooling to reject heat, or require...

Advanced workflow management technologies

Process, workflow, and groupware products both in the commercial and research worlds have each approached the problem of human communication and coordination with different sets of tools and technologies implemented from different perspectives. Each manages the dependencies between activities differently in addition to making different philosophical assumptions. While most of these tools repres...

Measurements of Heat Release of Diesel PM for Advanced Thermal Management Strategies for DPF Regeneration

Thermal Conductivity and Contact Resistance Measurements for Adhesives

Thermal adhesives that contain large concentrations of high thermal conductivity filler materials, such as ceramics or metals, are widely used by the electronics industries in a variety of applications. The thermal properties of these materials, such as the thermal contact resistance across a bonded joint and the thermal conductivity of the bulk material, are critical to the selection of the “b...

Advanced Thermal Measurements of Modern Manufacturing Systems

− The paper presents some new measurements and instrumentation paying a special attention to the thermal behaviour of modern manufacturing systems. Acording to a CIRP evaluation, more than 50% of the machining errors, even in the case of modern machine tools, are due to the thermal phenomena. The study of thermal behaviour for machine tools is very important for precision processing, e.g. grind...
