Heat Transfer Performance of Biphilic Surfaces With Diatomite‐Based Composite Coatings in a Closed Thermosyphon System

open access: yesHeat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 1608-1638, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the thermal performance of innovative biphilic boiling surfaces designed for CPU cooling applications using a two‐phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) system. The surfaces were fabricated by applying composite coatings—comprising epoxy resin and diatomite particles functionalized with APTES and PFOTS silanes— onto Al1050 ...

Performance Investigation of Eco‐Friendly Refrigerant Mixtures as an Alternative to R134a in Vapour‐Compression Refrigeration System

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing impacts of climate change and energy scarcity demand environmentally sustainable refrigeration solutions. This study investigates eco‐friendly refrigerants (R152a, R290 and R600a) and their optimized ternary mixture as alternatives to R134a. Four blend compositions were analysed using experimental testing and REFPROP 10.0 modelling

Seismo‐Acoustic Evidence for Meteoric Water Modulation of Hydrothermal Fluid Discharge

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Deciphering the signal of external processes on active hydrothermal dynamics represents a critical challenge in understanding volcanic unrest. At the Pisciarelli hydrothermal site, located within the densely populated Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy), we investigate the role of meteoric water influx in modulating shallow hydrothermal fluid ...

A Model‐Based Interpretation for the Apparently Homogeneous Steam Bubble Nucleation in Industrial Evaporative Sucrose Crystallization

open access: yesJournal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
A model has been developed and validated with data from the sugar industry to determine the evaporation rate of discontinuous evaporating crystallizers. The results indicate that vapor nucleation on the surface of sucrose crystals is a significant factor, particularly in the context of low temperature differences in the calandria.
