Fouling or encrustation is a significant problem in continuous crystallisation processes where crystal deposits at surfaces impede heat transfer, increase flow resistance and reduce product quality.
Highly porous zirconia based thermal barrier coatings have recently been synthesised with zig-zag morphology pores which appear to impede heat flow through the thickness of the coating.
But even the most efficient cooling circuits start to wear out, corrosion and limescale depositions precipitate on the wall of the cooling channel, which impede heat transfer from the mold to the coolant.

The shear-thinning behaviour is seen to promote heat transfer and as expected the shear-thickening behaviour impedes heat transfer in fixed and fluidised beds.
Despite the excellent thermal conductivity of single-flake graphene, the large density of nanointerfaces due to the small size of the graphene flakes significantly impedes heat transfer.
We concluded that 2 mm thick limescale impedes heat removal so much that the more efficient conformal cooling system can only extract as much heat as the less efficient conventional system.
The subcutaneous blubber has low thermal conductivity and significantly reduces heat transfer via conduction which helps to maintain core body temperature in the ocean, but impedes heat transfer on land [ 11].
Although some have suggested that fat is favored as insulation in such conditions, this is not well supported by evidence, and high fatness impedes heat loss during exercise (Pond, 1998).
Wearing PPE may impede evaporative heat loss through sweating and a condition of uncompensable heat stress may occur [ 5, 6].
This low conductivity impedes both heat input and extraction.
This is perhaps because our volume fraction of nanofluids is much smaller than theirs, where the nanoparticle deposition impedes the heat transfer.
