Measurement of effective thermal conductivity of LaNi powder packed bed
Dong-min Kim, Joong Bae Kim, Jungchul Lee +1
Effective thermal conductivity of LaNi powder packed bed was analyzed with customized guarded hot-plate (GHP) apparatus. Here, GHP was designed for precise measurement of effec…
Tailoring the Spectral Absorption Coefficient of a Blended Plasmonic Nanofluid Using a Customized Genetic Algorithm
Junyong Seo, Caiyan Qin, Jungchul Lee +1
Recently, plasmonic nanofluids (i.e., a suspension of plasmonic nanoparticles in a base fluid) have been widely employed in direct-absorption solar collectors because the localized…
Surface-plasmon-enhanced near-field radiative heat transfer between planar surfaces with a thin-film plasmonic coupler
Mikyung Lim, Jaeman Song, Seung S. Lee +2
In last decade, there have been enormous efforts to experimentally show the near-field enhancement of radiative heat transfer between planar structures. Several recent experiments…
Thermal Conductivity Enhancement by Surface Electromagnetic Waves Propagating along Multilayered Structures with Asymmetric Surrounding Media
Mikyung Lim, Jose Ordonez-Miranda, Seung S. Lee +2
Enhancement of thermal conductivity via surface electromagnetic waves (SEWs) supported in nanostructures has recently drawn attention as a remedy for issues raised due to the reduc…
Performance analysis of Schottky-junction-based near-field thermophotovoltaic system
Jaeman Song, Mikyung Lim, Seung S. Lee +1
Numerous studies have reported performance enhancement of a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system when an emitter is separated by nanoscale gaps from a TPV cell. Although a --junct…
Performance analysis of a direct-absorption parabolic trough solar collector
Caiyan Qin, Joong Bae Kim, Bong Jae Lee
A parabolic trough solar collector is a dominant technology for high-temperature industrial applications, but efficient use of a conventional surface-based parabolic trough solar c…
