People who design spacecraft must prioritize two factors: reducing weight and managing extreme temperatures. A new experiment designed by Purdue University engineers addresses both problems. The Flow ...

Theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of heat transfer with a sucker rod string. Liaohe field tests of the wells show this technology can heat the ...

An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is ...

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature by infrared radiation. Unlike conduction and convection, radiation takes place without the ...

After a decade of work, Issam Mudawar will soon see the results of the largest phase change experiment ever conducted in space. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — People who design spacecraft must prioritize two ...
