When the separation of two surfaces approaches sub-nanometre scale, the boundary between the two most fundamental heat transfer modes, heat conduction by phonons and radiation by photons, is blurred.

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

Thermacore, Inc. has announced the acquisition of k Technology, a business headquartered in Langhorne, PA, that designs and manufactures custom thermal management products for power electronics ...

Deyu Li and Josh Caldwell, both Professors of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt, are part of a team of researchers who discovered a new heat dissipation channel using phonon polaritons that could ...

A mechanical engineer has developed an aircraft thermal management technology that stands ready for adaptation into other areas. Jonathan Boreyko, an associate professor in mechanical engineering, has ...

ABSTRACT Soil heat transfer is complex, and conduction-alone models may not always perform well in estimating soil apparent thermal diffusivity. Soil apparent thermal diffusivity is related to soil ...

Modern winter jackets are also a testament to centuries-old physics and cutting-edge materials science.

A mechanical pusher mechanism introduces the product carrier in pusher-type furnaces. The product carrier can include a rectangular boat with a lid in the case of a system equipped with a flat hearth ...
