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 ...

To be effective, a heat pipe must be composed of material with high thermal conductivity, usually copper or copper alloy. The ...

Researchers have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence chemical reactions more strongly than traditional convection and conduction methods.

Air conditioning and refrigeration consume about 20% of global electricity, relying on century-old vapor-compression ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Infrared radiation can significantly influence chemical reactions more than traditional convection and conduction methods. By using an optical cavity to confine ...

In a joint experimental-theoretical work, a team of researchers, including theorists from UC San Diego, have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can ...
