... screen mesh and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is developed and characterized for increased heat transport capability and reduced thermal resistance. The high-permeability mesh provides for a low-resistance liquid flow path while the carbon nanotubes, with their high thermal conductivity and large surface area...

... quantitatively and can be applied to actuate nanomotors. We also predict the dynamic behavior of a nanomotor made up of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in terms of molecular dynamics simulations. A shorter single-walled carbon nanotube with a larger diameter, as a mobile part, surrounds a longer single-walled...

...Wonchang Park; Kyungwho Choi; Khalid Lafdi; Choongho Yu Carbon nanotube- or/and graphite-filled polymer composites were synthesized by using simple mixing and drying methods, and their thermal conductivities and structures were characterized by using a steady-state method (ASTM D5470) and scanning...

... in the biporous (biwick) wick structure due to new mass transfer mechanisms, such as liquid splash at high heat flux, and vapor bubble/jet occupation of liquid transport passages. This article investigates the dryout phenomenon in carbon nanotube (CNT) based biwick structure. The incipience and expansion...

...Andrew C. Lysaght; Wilson K. S. Chiu Thermal diffusion, the process by which a multicomponent mixture develops a concentration gradient when exposed to a temperature gradient, has been studied in order to understand if its inclusion is warranted in the modeling of single-wall carbon nanotubes...

...Qingjun Cai; Chung-Lung Chen With the increase in power consumption in compact electronic devices, passive heat transfer cooling technologies with high-heat-flux characteristics are highly desired in microelectronic industries. Carbon nanotube (CNT) clusters have high thermal conductivity, nanopore...
