When designing electronics, heat dissipated to the surroundings by micro devices is an important consideration because heat has a powerful and stringent effect on their operation and lifespan. When an ...

When the separation of two surfaces approaches sub-nanometre scale, the boundary between the two most fundamental heat transfer modes, heat conduction by phonons and radiation by photons, is blurred.

Heat is an interesting form of energy. Not only does it sustain life, make us comfortable and help us prepare our food, but understanding its properties is key to many fields of scientific research.

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 ...

A mechanical pusher mechanism introduces the product carrier in pusher-type furnaces. The product carrier can include a rectangular boat with a lid in the case of a system equipped with a flat hearth ...

Many power plants and other industrial facilities utilize open recirculating cooling systems equipped with cooling towers for heat transfer from condensers and other heat exchangers. Cooling towers ...

There are various things we need for survival. Like water, food and energy. On the last point, our primary source of energy is the Sun, but our relationship with it can only be described as delicate.

The industrial applications of heat transfer fluids are diverse, ranging from simple, static design to advanced multi-loop systems performing numerous functions in a manufacturing operation. Since ...
