In the present study, a theoretical method for sphere-to-sphere radiative heat exchange is implemented for silica, lithium fluoride, and arsenic triselenide nanospheres of equal and unequal radii. The method is extended ...

Individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have superior thermal conductivity than conventional materials. The applications for CNTs range from heat sinks, thin films to thermal interface materials. However, when CNTs are grouped ...

Self-limiting assembly of nanoparticle arrays promises to revolutionize compliant device fabrication by enabling print-on-demand. Presently, quantitative understanding of the relationship between the array order, nanoparticle ...

Radiation is one of the most critical hazards for deep space missions. Among the sources of deep space radiation, the Galactic Cosmic Rays, which are composed of high energy ions travelling at relativistic speeds from ...

Packer fluid whose function is to prevent or tremendously reduce the heat transfer rate which would occur from the production tubing area to the production casing region is being studied in recent decades because of its ...

Advancements in electronic performance lead to a decrease in device size and an increase in power density. Because of these changes, current cooling mechanisms for electronic devices are beginning to be ineffective. ...

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to determine the thermal conductivities of (5,5) single wall carbon nanotubes. By fixing the temperatures of opposing ends of an armchair single wall carbon nanotube ...

This dissertation provides a detailed description of a new thermal lattice Boltzmann model capable of simulating temperature and velocity gradients within micro/nano-channels and vertical cavities in rarefied flow extending ...

Non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of heat transport through nanoscale metallic systems in contact with water are performed to investigate the effects of temperature and heat flux on thermal resistance ...

Based on non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, a model is developed to study the thermal conductivity of Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) inside filled with Copper (Cu), forming a coaxial composite in the form of a nanowire. ...
