Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this work is to present a study on heat conduction in systems that are composed out of spherical and cylindrical micro- and nanoparticles dispersed in a bulk matrix. Special emphasis is put on the dependence of the effective heat conductivity on various selected parameters as particle size and also its shape, surface specularity and density, including particle-matrix interaction. The heat transfer at nanometric scales is modelled using extended irreversible thermodynamics, whose main feature is to elevate the heat flux vector to the status of independent variable. The model is illustrated by a Copper-Silicium (Cu-Si) system. It is shown that all the investigated parameters have a considerable influence, the particle size being especially useful to either increase or decrease the effective thermal conductivity.
期刊介绍:
Communications in Applied and Industrial Mathematics (CAIM) is one of the official journals of the Italian Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics (SIMAI). Providing immediate open access to original, unpublished high quality contributions, CAIM is devoted to timely report on ongoing original research work, new interdisciplinary subjects, and new developments. The journal focuses on the applications of mathematics to the solution of problems in industry, technology, environment, cultural heritage, and natural sciences, with a special emphasis on new and interesting mathematical ideas relevant to these fields of application . Encouraging novel cross-disciplinary approaches to mathematical research, CAIM aims to provide an ideal platform for scientists who cooperate in different fields including pure and applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and to link scientist with professionals active in industry, research centres, academia or in the public sector. Coverage includes research articles describing new analytical or numerical methods, descriptions of modelling approaches, simulations for more accurate predictions or experimental observations of complex phenomena, verification/validation of numerical and experimental methods; invited or submitted reviews and perspectives concerning mathematical techniques in relation to applications, and and fields in which new problems have arisen for which mathematical models and techniques are not yet available.
