In particular, under high power density conditions, interface thermal resistance has emerged as a prominent factor in overall thermal management. In this paper, the interfacial energy transport characteristics of Si/Ge is investigated based on the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). The quality of interfacial energy transport is analyzed using Boltzmann statistical entropy and the losses that occur at the interface during energy transmission is also explored. The results indicate that the mismatch and high degree of localization of interface phonons increase the irreversible loss of energy phonons during transport across the interface, which leads to a significant entropy increase at the interface. Furthermore, the degree of irreversibility in energy loss is related to the thermal transport pathway; the lower the phonon matching at the interface, the greater the thermal transport resistance and the larger the irreversible loss. This research offers a comprehensive analysis of the irreversibility of energy loss, providing novel theoretical frameworks and research avenues for enhancing energy efficiency in high-power electronic devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By utilizing an intermediary layer, the adherence between the metallic substance and the CNT may be strengthened. Emphasis on boiling pools of micro-nano-porous (nanopores on micropores) coverings, particularly MWCNTs on micropores, is currently limited. Two nanocomposites (Cu–Cu) intermediate layers were deposited between the CNTs and a foundation polished metal surface in the current study to increase the bonding between the CNTs and the Cu foundation. Moreover, a three-stage sintering process is used to improve the adhesion between the Cu–Cu–MWCNTs layer and the metallic substrate. The pool boiling of DI water was experimentally investigated with respect to heat transport, bubble behavior, and critical heat flux. The Cu–Cu–MWCNTs-coated substrate achieved the highest heat transfer augmentation and critical heat flux of 374 % and 116 %, respectively, in comparison to a smooth bare surface. With the surface coated with Cu–Cu–MWCNTs, the early signs of nucleate boiling were seen. Highest critical heat flux for the Cu–Cu–MWCNTs-coated substrate was achieved by delayed dryout owing to better rewetting nature of the drier area beneath the created vapor bubble.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, surface tension of three steels has been measured with an experimental device of aerodynamic levitation with the well-known oscillating drop method (observation of the resonance frequency of the drop). Steel can be very sensitive to evaporation that occurs above melting point which can lead to the modification of the chemical composition and thus of the thermophysical properties. One option to limit evaporation is to reduce the duration of the experiment. In this perspective, a new acoustic method has been tested, which consists in exciting the sample with a frequency close to the resonance frequency for a fraction of second and then observing the frequency naturally adopted by the drop during a short relaxation time. This reduces the time of the experiment to less than 1 s, against about 10 s with the frequency sweep method previously used. Both methods are used and discussed in this article. The solicitation-relaxation method is found to significantly reduce the evaporation and thus provides more consistent results at high temperatures. For the steel on which this new method has been tested, the characteristic increasing–decreasing surface tension with temperature has been observed, which can have an impact on the melt pool dynamic in welding or additive manufacturing and should be considered in numerical simulation for better results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"45 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excess properties could be interpreted by considering the differences in molecular structure and hydrogen bonding capacity of the amines.

The focus is on the development of a new theory based on a multi-layer system necessary to ensure electrical isolation of electrical wires from the surrounding fluid. This includes the use of a thin annulus of fluid to minimize convective heat transfer modes within the fluid of interest, which was inspired by the concentric cylinder method. Good measurements require the following considerations: concentricity of the probe and surrounding crucible to ensure a consistent fluid gap, accounting for corrections for deviation of the model at early times, and modeling radiation heat transfer through transparent fluids. Uncertainties are larger than transient hot-wire methods because of the deviations from experimental conditions that can easily match an analytical approximation. An appropriate estimation of the measurement uncertainty can be obtained through careful design of the instrumentation, thorough uncertainty analysis, and limiting the measurements to only the applicable thermal property ranges of the approach. The 1D model used to interpret measured temperature data has been shown to be reliable for thermal conductivity measurements ranging from at least 0.39 W (mK⁻¹) to 0.92 W (mK⁻¹) and for temperatures from 293 K to 1023 K.

For a comprehensive characterization of diluted aqueous solutions of isopropanol or acetone with technically relevant solute amount fractions between 0.02 and 0.08, their liquid density, liquid viscosity, and interfacial tension were investigated using various light scattering and conventional techniques as well as equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations between (283 and 403) K. Polarization-difference Raman spectroscopy (PDRS) was used to monitor the liquid-phase composition during surface light scattering (SLS) experiments on viscosity and interfacial tension. For comparison purposes and to expand the database, capillary viscometry and dynamic light scattering (DLS) from bulk fluids with dispersed particles were also applied to determine the viscosity while the pendant-drop (PD) method allowed access to the interfacial tension. By adding isopropanol or acetone to water, density and, in particular, interfacial tension decrease significantly, while viscosity shows a pronounced increase. The behavior of viscosity and interfacial tension is closely related to the strong hydrogen bonding between the unlike mixture components and the pronounced enrichment of both solutes at the vapor–liquid interface, as revealed by EMD simulations. For an aqueous solution with an isopropanol amount fraction of 0.04, minor variations in interfacial tension and viscosity were found in the presence of pressurized H₂ up to 7.5 MPa.
