The scale effect of heat conduction of air in nano spacing (NS) is very important for nanodevices to improve their life and efficiency. By constructing a special technique, the changes of heat conduction of air were studied by means of measuring the heat conduction with heat conduction instrument in NS between the hot plate and the cooling plate. Carbon nanotubes were used to produce the nano s...

Casting is considered as a major manufacturing process. Thermal analysis of a solidifying medium is of great importance for appropriate design of casting processes. The conventional governing equation of a solidifying medium is based on the Fourier heat conduction law, which does not account for the phase-lag between the heat flux and the temperature gradient. In this paper, the concept of phas...

We look at a basic introduction to classical models of heat conduction, with a few examples including both finite and infinite systems, with techniques appropriate to each based on the boundary and initial conditions. Portions of the paper follow chapter 11 of Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua [1], where I have attempted to expand the analysis in an attempt to provide clarity wher...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have caught much attention as materials realizing various low-dimensional transport properties with their quasi-one-dimensional structures. The confined dynamics gives rise to unique heat and mass transport that are beneficial for applications. The current study highlights the confined dynamics by means of classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The...

The interaction of thermal radiation with conduction and laminar natural convection in a vertical circular pin, situated at participating gas, is numerically investigated. An absorbing and emitting gas is considered, and treated to be a gray participating media. Under the idealizing of gray gas, the Rosselan4 approximation is employed to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. ...
