A transparent conductor which can generate high temperatures finds important applications in optoelectronics. In this article, a wire network made of Au on quartz is shown to serve as an effective high temperature transparent heater. The heater has been fabricated by depositing Au onto a cracked sacrificial template. The highly interconnected Au wire network thus formed exhibited a transmittanc...

Heat transfer and fluid flow due to buoyancy forces in a partially heated enclosure using nanofluids is carried out using different types of nanoparticles. The flush mounted heater is located to the left vertical wall with a finite length. The temperature of the right vertical wall is lower than that of heater while other walls are insulated. The finite volume technique is used to solve the gov...

A planar Bi–Sb multijunction thermal converter was fabricated on the LPCVD Si3N4/SiO2/Si3N4-diaphragm, prepared by silicon bulk micromachining, which thermally isolated a bifilar Ptor NiCr-heater and the hot junctions of a Bi–Sb thermopile from the silicon substrate. The voltage responsivity, the ac–dc transfer difference, and the fluctuations of the output thermoelectric voltage and heater res...

This study selects titanium dioxide (TiO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as far-infrared materials (FIRMs), further adds water-based acrylic coatings to prepare (FIRCs). FIRCs are uniformly coated on #304 stainless steel sheets make the test samples, which then installed between shell insulation material of hot water heater measure influences various performance heater. The researc...

With the heater pipeline leakage experiment conducted on the experiment table, inner pipeline leakage of heater was studied through the leakage failure detection system. The frequency distribution and the amplitude of acoustic emission signals of leakage versus internal pressure were analyzed. Variations of signals versus leakage aperture and dissemination distance were summarized. According to...
