Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

The field of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction pumping has emerged as a promising technique to actively control fluid flow and enhance heat transfer without the need for mechanical components. By ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University ...

Entransy theory has emerged as a powerful framework for optimising heat transfer processes by quantifying a system’s capacity to transfer thermal energy in a manner analogous to electrical energy ...

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

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 ...

Boron arsenide has dethroned diamond as the best heat conductor, thanks to refined crystal purity and improved synthesis methods. This discovery could transform next-generation electronics by ...

Graduate Certificate in Applied Heat Transfer Overview The 100% online Graduate Certificate in Applied Heat Transfer is designed to meet the needs of engineering professionals and managers seeking to ...

DRC Heat Transfer, which makes power and cooling equipment for data centers, has been acquired by UK industrial engineering firm Smiths for £164 million ($219m).

Heat pumps are increasingly popular among homeowners seeking energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that generate heat by burning fuel or resistive heating, ...
