Crustal geotherm in southern Deccan Basalt
... (Mascarene Ridge located NE of Reunion island) and found a significantly higher heat flow of 6-8 mW m-2 than the reference heat flow predicted for the seafloor age. Therefore, in this study, we examine whether such an anomalous heat flow (although this is low) can be seen in the present-day crustal ...

Metal foams as compact high performance heat
... coolant is generally preferred over air because of the greater thermal conductivity and specific heat capacitance. In view of these requirements, experiments using a forced liquid coolant are needed not only to investigate the feasibility of using open-cell metal foams as heat exchangers, but also to ...

Insulated glazing
Insulated glazing (IG), more commonly known as double glazing (or double-pane, and increasingly triple glazing/pane) is double or triple glass window panes separated by a vacuum or other gas filled space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope.Insulated glass units are manufactured with glass in range of thickness from 3 mm to 10 mm (1/8"" to 3/8"") or more in special applications. Laminated or tempered glass may also be used as part of the construction. Most units are manufactured with the same thickness of glass used on both panes but special applications such as acoustic attenuation or security may require wide ranges of thicknesses to be incorporated in the same unit.
