Applying nanotechnology with laser therapy may offer hope for treating cancer in hard-to-reach and highly risky areas. Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center are using carbon nanotubes -- threads of hollow carbon that are 10,000 times thinner than a human hair -- to target tumors.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now an essential and effective tool used in the design of all types of turbomachine, and this topic constitutes the main theme of this book. With over 50 years of experience in the field of aerodynamics, Professor Naixing Chen has developed a wide range of numerical methods covering almost the entire spectrum of turbomachinery applications. Moreover, he has also made significant contributions to practical experiments and real-life designs.

Questions are being raised over the safety of heat transfer systems used in the process industries. The thermal fluid used in these units can be a serious fire and explosion risk, especially if the oil falls short of the required specification and/or is not regularly monitored to ensure it is in good condition.

At 0.0015 in. thin, Thermal Clad® HPL (High Power Lighting) dielectric is formulated for high-power lighting LED applications with demanding thermal performance requirements. It withstands high temperatures with glass transition of 185°C and thermal performance of 0.30°C/W (RD 2018). Substrates minimize thermal impedance and efficiently conduct heat. Use results in lower operating temperatures, which subsequently extends LED lifetimes and durability in HPL applications.
