Fundamentals of heat transfer by conduction, convection, radiation. Steady and transient heat conduction in solids. Forced and free convection in fluids. properties of thermal radiation. Radiation ...

The mathematical modelling of free and moving boundary problems are an important topic in engineering, industry, technology and theoretical sciences. These models allow us to make calculations ...

The old saw that a watched pot never boils may not apply to pots given an ultra-thin layer of aluminum oxide, which researchers have reported can double the heat transfer from a hot surface to a ...

Parallel plates: illustration of the quartz plates used to measure heat transfer. (Courtesy: M Ghashami et al/Phys. Rev. Lett.) New insights into why heat transfer between objects is enhanced at very ...

Piezoelectric fans have emerged as a promising technology in thermal management, particularly for applications in electronics cooling. These devices harness the piezoelectric effect to generate ...

A surprising new study shows that heat energy can leap across a few hundred nanometers of a complete vacuum, thanks to a quantum mechanical phenomenon called the Casimir interaction. Though this ...

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