Enhanced solar evaporation of water from porous media, through capillary mediated forces and surface treatment
F. M. Canbazoglu, B. Fan, A. Kargar +2
The relative influence of the capillary, Marangoni, and hydrophobic forces in mediating the evaporation of water from carbon foam based porous media, in response to incident solar…

An approach towards a perfect thermal diffuser
Krishna P. Vemuri, Prabhakar R. Bandaru
A method for the most efficient removal of heat, through an anisotropic composite, is proposed. It is shown that a rational placement of constituent materials, in the radial and th…

Geometrical considerations in the Control and manipulation of conductive heat flux
Krishna. P. Vemuri, P. R. Bandaru
We indicate the fundamental rationale underlying the control of temperature and the manipulation of thermal flux, with reference to a multilayered composite material. We show that…
