Ballistic thermal transport is a remarkable nanoscale phenomenon with possible applications in microelectronics. In the past decade, research on ballistic focused measurements of length-dependent conductivity semiconductor nanowires. this Perspective article, we review experimental demonstrations nanowires various materials and sizes at different temperatures. Our literature analysis reveals co...

Combining entransy theory with constructal theory, this mini-review paper summarizes the constructal optimization work of heat conduction, convective heat transfer, and mass transfer problems during the authors’ working time in the Naval University of Engineering. The entransy dissipation extremum principle (EDEP) is applied in constructal optimizations, and this paper is divided into three par...
