Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...
The evaluation of transport coefficients in extended systems, such as thermal conductivity or shear viscosity, is known to require impractically long simulations, thus calling for a paradigm shift that would allow to deploy state-of-the-art quantum simulat ...
Silicon carbide based composites are candidates for structural components and fuel claddings in nuclear power plants. In the frame of accident tolerant fuel research, the effective through-thickness thermal conductivity of SiC/SiC prototype claddings is in ...
This paper provides detailed analytical modeling and finite elements method (FEM) analysis of the thermal behavior of the medium frequency transformer (MFT). A comprehensive analytical model in form of a thermal network consisting of conduction, convection ...
Surface scattering is the key limiting factor to thermal transport in dielectric crystals as the length scales are reduced or when temperature is lowered. To explain this phenomenon, it is commonly assumed that the mean free paths of heat carriers are boun ...
Radiative-conductive heat transfer in porous media is usually investigated by decoupling the heat transfer modes and solving the volume-averaged continuum equations using effective transport properties. However, both modes are naturally coupled and couplin ...
With the evolution of power electronics technologies, DC networks have been considered as promising distribution systems for future grids. This new concept of power systems comes with technical challenges in protection coordination, a result of the no natu ...
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are combined to compute the full set of coefficients that appear in the phenomenological equations describing thermal transport in a binary mixture subject to a constant thermal, gradient The Dy ...
Buildings are increasingly required to be efficient not just in their operation, but from construction to demolition. Thus, interest in natural construction materials with low embodied environmental impacts has increased, (re)inventing materials and compon ...
The scanning thermal microscope (SThM) has become a versatile tool for local surface temperature mapping or measuring thermal properties of solid materials. In this article, we present recent improvements in a SThM system, based on a micro-wire thermocoupl ...
