Imagine more efficient internal combustion engines with lower emissions, sparked by computer simulation. Scientists across the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have ...

The drive for miniaturization means that more heat is being generated in very restricted spaces inside electronic and electrical equipment. Accurate thermal simulation of system behaviour can ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have conducted what they claim is the largest simulation of flow inside an internal combustion engine. Insights gained ...

A Dutch research team has outlined a new method to assess the coefficient of performance of air-to-water heat pumps by considering ambient temperature and relative humidity. The model is based on the ...

Heat engines are ubiquitous as they lie at the core of cars, aircraft, refrigerators, power plants and miniature motors. But they are currently limited by Carnot's maximum efficiency rule, according ...
