Abstract
The passive thermal-electric ultra-conductive metamaterials (PTUM) consisting of bulk natural materials are reported, which possess the local pre-controlled thermal-electric ultra-conductivities without extra energy payloads. Based on the local resistances regulated by the vertical transport channels, the thermal-electric effective parameters at the circular channel-interphase region are derived. Then, we present a method to make the designed channel suitable for both tempetature and electric potential fields simultaneously and analyze some manipulation factors modulating the thermal-electric ultra-conductivities. Based on the modulation effects, the PTUM with different pre-controlled parameters could be constructed by changing the height of the channels, which are demonstrated by the numerical simulations. Additionally, in order to validate the reliability of the construction theories, the normalized theoretical temperatures and electric potentials are provided to make a fair contrast with the normalized corresponding simulated values. The good coincidence between the simulated values and theoretical solutions indicates that we can realize the local thermal-electric ultra-conductivities by introducing the channels with different heights. Furthermore, we present some applications of pre-controlled PTUM to reveal the passive thermal-electric ultra-conductive effects and the utilization directions, such as the thermal-electric ultra-conductive metal plate and the ultra-conductive thermal-electric concentrator and cloak. This paper may provide a method to achieve the passive ultra-conductive metamaterials suitable for both temperature and electric potential fields simultaneously using the natural materials in general application environments.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
