Hidden heat transfer in equilibrium states implies directed motion in nonequilibrium states [PDF]
We study a class of heat engines including Feynman's ratchet, which exhibits a directed motion of a particle in nonequilibrium steady states maintained by two heat baths. We measure heat transfer from each heat bath separately, and average them using a careful procedure that reveals the nature of the heat transfer associated with directed steps of the ...

Near-field radiative heat transfer between macroscopic planar surfaces [PDF]
Near-field radiative heat transfer allows heat to propagate across a small vacuum gap in quantities that are several orders of magnitude greater then the heat transfer by far-field, blackbody radiation. Although heat transfer via near-field effects has been discussed for many years, experimental verification of this theory has been very limited.

Time-modulated near-field radiative heat transfer. [PDF]
We explore near-field radiative heat transfer between two bodies under time modulation by developing a rigorous fluctuational electrodynamics formalism. We demonstrate that time modulation can results in the enhancement, suppression, elimination, or reversal of radiative heat flow between the two bodies, and can be used to create a radiative thermal ...

Thermodynamic Analysis and Optimization Design of a Molten Salt–Supercritical CO2 Heat Exchanger
The performance of a heat exchanger is directly related to the energy conversion efficiency of the thermal storage system, and its optimal design is an important method to improve the performance of the heat exchanger.
