small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. non-fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of fourier heat tran...

This paper proposes and validates a novel simulation for thermal non-destructive characterization. An electro-thermal modelling of the sample is adapted for MATLAB-SIMULINK simulation. Though the technique is capable of considering any heat stimuli on an arbitrary sample, the special case of lock-in thermography (LT) with periodic heating is taken up for illustration. A mild-steel sample having...

This paper focuses on the comparison of the state-ofthe-art high power devices. A behavioral power loss model is developed to conduct electro-thermal simulation of these devices. The junction temperature is observed through simulation. The high power devices are compared for pulse application based on losses and thermal handling capability. Moreover, device operation condition (current, voltage...

Recently, thermal-aware digital circuit design in advanced technologies is great challenges to realize high-speed and robust microprocessors. In this paper, we explore temperature gradient alleviating method for arithmetic units. Aiming at alleviating temperature gradients at logical circuit design level, we try to flatten out a power density by applying delay-balancing technique for equaldelay...

This paper presents an approach to performing real-time co-simulation of electro-thermal coupled power systems for aiding the design of future all-electric Navy ships. The goal is to study the transient interactions between the electrical and the thermal sub-systems. The approach utilizes the existing large scale real-time simulation capabilities of electrical systems established at Florida Sta...

In this review, the intriguing, anomalous behaviour of hydrate thermal conductivity will be described, and progress in performing experimental measurements will be described briefly.

REBCO coated conductors (CCs) have the potential to widen considerably the application areas of superconductivity. Quench protection of REBCO-based devices represents one of the major obstacles to this expansion. Thermal conductivity data are mandatory ingredients for quench simulation studies. In particular, the transverse thermal conductivity (kT) of the CC plays a key role in case of quenche...

We present a strictly three-dimensional modeling technique as a basis for numerical simulations. These simulations range from a high-resolution indoor air flow modeling using the so-called thermal lattice Boltzmann method to a multi-zone network model for building energy simulation. Within this paper, an intermediate geometric model is derived from the IFC building product model standard with r...
