Advanced big-data/machine-learning techniques for optimization and performance enhancement of the heat pipe technology – A review and prospective study (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Zhao, X., Han, Z., Luo, L., Xiang, J., Zheng, S., Liu, G., Yu, M., Cui, Y., Shittu, S., & Hu, M. (2021). Advanced big-data/machine-learning techniques for optimization and performance enhancement of the heat pipe technology – A review and prospective study. Applied energy, 294, Article 116969. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.116969A heat pipe (HP) is a passive heat transfer device able to transmit heat a few meters or several hundred meters away from the heat source without use of external energy. This paper presents a critical review of the HP technologies. It is found that t...

Operational performance of a novel fast-responsive heat storage/exchanging unit (HSEU) for solar heating systems (2019)
Journal Article
Fan, Y., Zhao, X., Li, J., Cheng, Y., Zhou, J., Yu, M., Li, G., Badiei, A., Du, Z., Ji, J., Zhu, Z., Ma, X., Bai, H., & Myers, S. (2020). Operational performance of a novel fast-responsive heat storage/exchanging unit (HSEU) for solar heating systems. Renewable energy, 151, 137-151. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2019.11.007In order for a solar heating system to provide heat immediately after sunrise, a fast response is needed to the heat demand of a serviced space. The majority of existing solar heating systems have a slow response time due to the large volume of water...
