Journal Article
Yeboah, S., & Darkwa, J. (2019). Experimental investigations into the adsorption enhancement in packed beds using Z-Annular flow configuration. International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 136, 121-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijthermalsci.2018.10.027

Annular packed bed structures have the potential to overcome limitations of conventional fully packed bed types by offering radial distribution of airflow within them to enhance fluid-solid contact during adsorption and also to minimize pressure drop...

Nano-silicon dioxide hydrosol as surfactant for preparation of microencapsulated phase change materials for thermal energy storage in buildings (2018)
Journal Article
Su, W., Darkwa, J., & Kokogiannakis, G. (2018). Nano-silicon dioxide hydrosol as surfactant for preparation of microencapsulated phase change materials for thermal energy storage in buildings. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/cty032

Microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) have been recognized as potential energy storage materials for applications such as balancing of heating and cooling loads in buildings. However, current MEPCMs do suffer from low thermal conductivity...

Thermal performance of a novel helically coiled oscillating heat pipe (HCOHP) for isothermal adsorption: an experimental study (2018)
Journal Article
Yeboah, S., & Darkwa, J. (2018). Thermal performance of a novel helically coiled oscillating heat pipe (HCOHP) for isothermal adsorption: an experimental study. International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 128, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijthermalsci.2018.02.014

Helically Coiled Oscillating Heat Pipes (HCOHPs) have been designed and tested under laboratory conditions to investigate their potential to achieve isothermal adsorption when integrated with a cylindrical solid desiccant packed bed system. The HCOHP... Read More about Thermal performance of a novel helically coiled oscillating heat pipe (HCOHP) for isothermal adsorption: an experimental study.
