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 ...

In this article, we discuss the laser flash diffusivity method’s working principle, applications, its advantages over other methods, and finally its limitations and research directed towards ...

The study of thermal diffusion and the Soret effect in fluid mixtures provides critical insights into the coupling between heat and mass transfer. In systems subjected to temperature gradients, ...

When a gas mixture is contained in a vessel in which a steady temperature gradient is maintained, a concentration gradient is in general set up, whose amount is determined by the logarithm of the ...

Silicon nitride ceramic substrates play a pivotal role in Active Metal Brazing (AMB) substrates for power modules whose applications include inverters for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric ...

The power-semiconductor industry is experiencing growth exceeding 7% per year, driven by new applications such as electric cars and new technologies like silicon-carbide (SiC) and gallium-nitride ...

Directional thermal diffusion and insulation of in-plane anisotropic carbon fiber/CNF nanocomposite films. In a new study, scientists from Japan designed flexible thermal diffusion films made of ...

The FirstNano EasyTube 101 CVD system is used for the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The system can grow areas up to 25 mm × 75 mm using an iron catalyst deposited by the Fredrick electron beam ...

Assessing the thermal conductivity of various nanomaterials is essential to material engineering at the nanometric scale. Nanomaterials that conduct heat effectively for example, could be used to ...
