Thermal Convexity Analysis of a Solar Water Heating System
This book delivers a comprehensive study of thermal convexity analy-sis, a key methodology for understanding and optimizing solar water heating systems. It bridges pressing global energy challenges, solar thermal technologies, and advanced heat transfer principles. The book opens with the global energy context, highlighting the rising importance of solar power in achieving sustainable energy goals. A detailed review of solar thermal systems follows, covering high-temperature applications (parabolic concentrators, tower plants, cylindrical-parabolic collectors) and low-temperature uses, including pool heating, space heating, and domestic hot water production. The core focus regards the thermal convexity principle, providing a new powerful theoretical framework for analyzing and enhancing heat transfer in fluids, tubular exchangers, and solar receivers. This principle is applied to the modeling and simulation of solar water heating systems, integrating solar radiation, system dynamics, and consumption effects. Thermal Convexity Analysis of a Solar Water Heating System combines simulation and experimental validation with fixed and tracking collectors, demonstrating practical performance improvements. Supported by an appendix on conduction, convection, and radiation, this book is an essential reference for researchers, engineers, and students pushing the frontiers of renewable energy and thermal sciences.

Artificial Plasmonics for VLSI Interconnects
Build the microchips of the future with this revolutionary new information transfer technology Advancements in high-performance computing have continually demanded for progresses in disruptive technological research and innovations. Moore's Law has pushed the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology to pack MOS devices inside a chip at an exponential rate, thereby surpassing now eight billion transistors per cm2. This has concomitantly fueled the growth of multilayered on-chip interconnects comprising metallic and low dielectric materials. VLSI Interconnect Technology with Artificial Plasmonics introduces a new method for improving chip performance by harnessing the power of information transfer among chips at terahertz frequency. This revolutionary new electromagnetic wave engineering, called a spoof surface plasmon polariton, adapts the principles of VLSI and terahertz interconnect technology along with the artificial plasmonics to transfer huge quantities of data at vastly improved speeds. It constitutes a potentially decisive contribution to the pursuit of faster and more capacious VLSI chips. In VLSI Interconnect Technology with Artificial Plasmonics, readers will also find: * A cutting-edge new approach supported by pioneering research * Detailed discussion of essential components related to the development of THz interconnect technology, including theory, modeling, simulation, and validation * Roadmap to future technological development in the branch of artificial plasmonics VLSI Interconnect Technology with Artificial Plasmonics is ideal for engineers, researchers, and scientists working in electronics, electromagnetics, and optics. Colour renditions of the images included in the book are available here: https://www.wiley.com/go/artificialplasmonics. [304 Pages, Hardcover]
