Radiation heat transfer exceeding the blackbody limit at nanosize separation gaps has been experimentally confirmed in the scanning probe-surface 1,2,3, scanning probe-film 4, microsphere-surface ...
The thermal utilization of sustainable fuels and the recovery of waste heat play a central role in today’s energy generation ...
Geothermal energy is clean and renewable, derived from the heat stored within accessible depths of the Earth’s crust. The ...
Zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials are widely used in precision optics, cryogenic equipment and sensors, where even small ...
Heat is transferred by radiation between two well-separated bodies at temperatures of finite difference in vacuum. At large distances the heat transfer can be described by black body radiation, at ...
