Trapped air prevents heat loss by conduction and convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature by infrared radiation.

Scientists have developed a new theory to explain heat transfer on advanced surfaces. The theory is critical to the researchers' work to develop innovative surfaces for applications such as harvesting ...

Heat pumps have become a hot topic in building decarbonization conversations, but there are still misconceptions about them.

When University of Texas at Dallas researchers tested a new surface that they designed to collect and remove condensates rapidly, the results ...

Heat pumps work through the same heat transfer process and largely the same equipment as that used in air conditioners. Air conditioners use a closed loop refrigerant system to remove heat from an ...
