Thermal Conductivity of Rocks [PDF]
IN view of recent discussions in NATURE anent the variation of the thermal conductivity of different kinds of rock with the temperature, the following results of an investigation, which has been in progress for the last year in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, may be of interest.

Towards Optimizing Width Modulation for Maximum Thermoelectric Efficiency
Maximizing thermoelectric efficiency is typically addressed as identical to minimizing parasitic thermal conduction. Such an approach relies on the assumption that the adopted strategy mainly affects phonons, leaving electrons intact, and is not ...

A Numerical Study of Small-Scale Longitudinal Heat Conduction in Plate Heat Exchangers
Longitudinal heat conduction has a significant effect on the heat transfer performance of plate heat exchangers, but longitudinal heat conduction is usually neglected in numerical studies and the thermal design of a heat exchanger.

Thermal conductivity of comets [PDF]
A value is described for the thermal conductivity of the frost layer and for the water-ice solid debris mixture. The value of the porous structure is discussed as a function of depth only. Graphs show thermal conductivity as a function of depth and temperature at constant porosity and density.

Heat Conduction in Porous Media Characterized by Fractal Geometry
Fractal geometry (fractional Brownian motion—FBM) is introduced to characterize the pore distribution of porous material. Based on this fractal characterization, a mathematical model of heat conduction is presented to study heat conduction behaviors in ...

Enhancing The Extremely High Thermal Conduction of Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene and Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are found to have superior high thermal conductivity favorable for high-performance heat dissipation. In this letter, by using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that constructing specific structure can ...

Nonlinear Heat Radiation Induces Thermal Rectifier in Asymmetric Holey Composites
Asymmetric design and nonlinearity are essential to give rise to thermal rectification. In addition to the linear Fourier’s law of thermal conduction, we introduce the nonlinear thermal radiation following Stefan–Boltzmann law to asymmetric holey ...

Contactless Interface Using Exhaled Breath and Thermal Imaging
A new type of interface using a conduction hot spot reflecting the user’s intention is presented. Conventional methods using fingertips to generate conduction hot points cannot be applied to those who have difficulty using their hands or cold hands.
