Experimental investigation of orientation effect on flow boiling heat transfer performance of R134a refrigerant in minichannels by Wong, Isaac Kai Hunn

“…The experimental results concluded that the open-channel plate with a 0.5 mm manifold gap had a significantly better cooling performance in horizontal orientation with a wall superheated temperature 26% lower than and heat transfer coefficient 15% and 38% higher than cold plate with 0 mm and 1 mm manifold gaps in the high heat flux region. However, the 0 mm manifold gap performed better in vertical upward orientation with heat transfer coefficients that are 45% and 19% higher than the 0.5 mm and 1 mm manifold gaps, respectively in the high heat flux region. …”

Physical layer security in emerging wireless communication systems by Wang, Wei

“…By considering pilot spoofing attacks from the Eves, the coverage and secrecy probabilities are derived using stochastic geometry and the conditions under which the millimeter wave tier outperforms the sub-6 GHz counterpart are discussed in terms of both coverage and secrecy.It is shown that the mmWave small cell can provide better coverage performance in the high transmission code-rate region, and the secrecy performance of the mmWave system outperforms the sub-6 GHz counterpart in the low redundant rate region, which reveals the advantage of using mmWave for secure communication.…”
