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 ...

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 ...

Enabling heat to flow preferentially in one direction could lead to cooler, safer and more reliable electronics. A one-way ticket for thermal radiative heat transfer, based on thermal rectification ...

When room-temperature washers are placed in hot water, the temperature of the washers increases and the temperature of the water decreases. Energy from the water is transferred to the washers. When ...

Passive thermal control relies on design features and materials like insulation layers, reflective coatings, and thermal barriers. Because passive solutions have no moving parts, they require less ...
