Carbon aerogel from seafood waste prevents heat leakage, keeps 97% capacity
This structure was designed to act as a host for stearic acid, a common organic phase change material known for its high heat storage capacity but persistent leakage issues. The chitin-derived carbon ...
Waste heat recovery: An old theory finds new life – but will it work for every trucking application?
The next generation of heavy-duty diesel engine design is driven by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas emissions regulations that limit the amount of carbon dioxide and other ...
Pretty much anything we do that involves energy, from generating electricity to using it in a laptop, produces energy in the form of heat that ultimately goes to waste. The problem is that all of the ...
With the completion of a successful prototype, engineers have made a major step toward addressing one of the leading problems in energy use around the world today -- the waste of half or more of the ...
In June, the International Energy Agency confirmed what most experts already know: that the world should work harder to boost the use of pure hydrogen as an emissions-free energy source. One of the ...
Waste heat recovery is a significant opportunity – in 2015, 59.2 quadrillion BTU of energy was wasted mainly in the form of heat. Much of the waste heat has been characterized by its source and its ...
As mining machines harvest bitcoin, they generate excess heat. Instead of letting it go to waste, a Canadian company is capturing it and using it to warm people’s homes. Bitcoin mining uses massive ...
Quite literally, the responsibility, herein, is cooling and energy efficiency owing to the recent advances in technology, including the high demand for AI-powered systems. Consequently, these ...
Waste heat generated by electronics is a big problem. Not only can it damage components if it gets out of hand, but it represents a large amount of energy going to waste. Now scientists at the ...
The world is awash in our waste heat. Our computers, our motors, our electrical generating plants—all of them shed heat into the environment. That’s in part because there’s no easy way to capture its ...
