A nuclear reactor in which a secondary or tertiary coolant system of a nuclear steam supply system is simplified, comprising: a reactor vessel (2) which integrates a reactor core (1); a first coolant (3) which is stored in the reactor vessel (2) and heated by the reactor core (1) to convect; a first heat transfer tube (4) which is arranged in the reactor vessel (2) and comes into contact with the first coolant (3); and a second coolant (5) which is supplied from the outside of the reactor vessel (2) to the first heat transfer tube (4), cools the first coolant (3) and led to the outside of the reactor vessel (2).

A heat dissipation structure with aligned carbon nanotube arrays formed on both sides. The carbon nanotube arrays in between a heat source and a cooler are used as thermal interface material extending and dissipating heat directly from a heat source surface to a cooler surface. In some embodiments, an adhesive material can be used to dispense around carbon nanotube arrays and assemble the heat dissipation structure in between a heat source and a cooler. In some other embodiments, carbon nanotube arrays are formed on at least one of a heat source surface and a cooler surface and connect them together by further growing. The carbon nanotube arrays can be exposed to the environment instead of being in between a heat source and a solid cooler, and can serve as fins to enlarge heat dissipation area and improve thermal convection.

A flow direction control mechanism is provided, which includes at least a rotatable means provided in a passage of an electronic system or apparatus. The rotatable means moves to an open position by means of a force generated from fluids flowing through the passage and returns to a close position in the absence of the force. Further, a restrictor is disposed adjacent to the rotatable means for restricting movement of the rotatable means between the open position and the close position.

The invention provides a maze conformal cooling method and structure of a mold, and aims to solve the problem that the conventional mold cooling method cannot meet efficient and uniform cooling requirement of a complex mold. Compared with three traditional mold cooling method including a straight hole flow channel, a built-in bent pipe flow channel and a common tubular shape follow-up flow channel, the maze conformal cooling method is high in cooling efficiency and good in cooling effect. According to the structure, a hollow layer nearly parallel to the inner surface of a cavity is arranged in the position, having certain thickness distance from the cavity, in the mold, a maze type partition wall is arranged in the hollow layer, and a cooling medium flows in a channel formed by partition wall gapes in a cooling layer. The maze conformal cooling method and the structure of the mold have the advantages that the cooling state of the cooling medium in the gaps of the maze type partition wall is turbulence, and the contact area between the cooling medium and the mold is increased, so that the cooing efficiency is high, the service life of the mold is long, an injection molding process period is shortened, and the injection molding manufacturing cost is reduced. A 3-dimensional laser printing technology is adopted to directly manufacture the mold with the layered maze flow channel conformal cooling structure, components in the mold are uniform, the molding process is simple, the mold manufacturing period is short, and the mold manufacturing cost is low.

A light emitting diode (LED) lighting unit including power supply housing accommodating a power supply and an LED array housing defining an internal compartment and a lens sealing the internal compartment. An LED array and an LED control circuit are mounted on a printed circuit board, which is accommodated within the compartment. The rear surface of the LED array housing includes a heat transfer element. At least one of the LED array and power supply housings has a chimney extending therethrough from a front to rear surface. The rear surface of the LED array housing is spaced from the front surface of the power supply housing to define and airflow space therebetween. During operation of the LED lighting unit, air flows into the airflow space and toward a central axis of the LED lighting unit before flowing out through the chimney to facilitate removing heat from the LED lighting unit.

An externally vented brake rotor (EVR) core design, such as exemplified by U.S. Pat. No. 6,536,564, is being used to improve the function and effectiveness of a segmented brake rotor (SBR) through more efficient management of the thermal forces created in the segmented rotor. Specifically, segmented friction plates are attached to the EVR core to form friction surfaces. Air flow through the vents contacts the back side of the friction plates. At least one segmented friction plate may be provided with a tab or protrusion that engages a corresponding receiving recess in the carrier surface of the EVR core, thereby relieving lateral stress forces.

A porous substrate capable of adsorptive filtration of a fluid having a porous self-supporting substrate and one or more porous, adsorptive coatings comprising from about 1 to about 80% of the void volume of the pores of the substrate. The resultant substrate has good convective and diffusive flow and capacity. The substrate may be crosslinked, have one or more capture chemistries attached to it and is useful as a chromatography media for the selective filtration of desired species including biomolecules such as proteins and DNA fragments.

A light emitting diode (LED) lamp includes a heat dissipation module, a circular light guide plate (LGP), and LED light sources. The heat dissipation module includes a heat dissipation element and a heat-conducting base that has a containing concave. The heat dissipation element connecting and surrounding the heat-conducting base is distant from the circumference of the heat-conducting base. The circular LGP in the containing concave has a top surface, a bottom surface, and an annular side surface. The top surface faces the heat-conducting base and has concentric annular trenches. The LED light sources are configured in the containing concave and face the annular side surface. The LED light sources are suitable for emitting a light beam which is capable of passing through the annular side surface to enter the circular LGP and capable of being reflected by the annular trenches and emitted from the bottom surface.

A bulb-type LED lamp includes a cooling structure, an LED module, a transparent shade and a lamp head. The cooling structure includes a thermally conductive plate and a plurality of cooling fins configured by being bended upwardly from a periphery of the thermally conductive plate, and each cooling fins are disposed by being interspaced to each other. The LED module is attached onto a bottom face of the thermally conductive plate. The transparent shade covers the LED module correspondingly and is connected fixedly to the thermally conductive plate. The lamp head is fitted and connected to each cooling fin and electrically connected to the LED module. Thereby, the thermal convection is enhanced and the cooling efficiency is further promoted.
