The group presents three papers at the 18th International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC-18).

IHTC18-0178 — Thermal analysis of a power-to-heat-to-power system using repurposed oil wells for energy storage. Younghyun Ko, Jader R. Barbosa, Jr. The group’s first paper authored entirely at LSU.

IHTC18-0117 — Thermal performance comparison of annular enclosure geometries for subsea power electronics. Lucas Militão, Marcelo Lobo Heldwein, Jader R. Barbosa, Jr.

IHTC18-0176 — Dimensionless characterization of porous electrode electrochemical systems using modified Hatta and Wagner numbers: a PEM fuel cell case study. Paulo Vitor de Faria, Marcus Vinícius Pedron Carneiro, Tamayo Zanforlin Pires de Almeida Motta Dias, Jader R. Barbosa, Jr., Jaime Andres Lozano Cadena.
