Weak thermal links for thermal cycling experiments

Two types of thermal links-wire coupling and Kapitza coupling-for thermal cycling (TC) experiments are studied. Quantitative models describing static and dynamic behaviour of the sample temperature are developed and experimentally tested. There is a wide range of applications for both couplings, the most severe limitations are imposed by nuclear heat capacities. Kapitza coupling is restricted to thin foil samples, but potentially offers the fastest response.     

On interface thermal resistance associated with thermal vibrations

This Letter generalizes the well-known acoustic mismatch theory of interface thermal resistance by inclusion into consideration a broad class of thermal vibrations that were excluded from that theory by the imposition in it of the Sommerfeld radiation condition, which is required for the theory of sound but is not relevant for the analysis of heat transport. This extension preserves the main ideas of the acoustic mismatch theory but provides much better estimates for the interface resistance, which have an order-of-magnitude agreement with experiments previously published by others.     

Combination of temperature-programmed thermal desorption and laser-induced thermal desorption

The combination of temperature-programmed thermal desorption with heating rates of the order of 1 K s^–1 and laser-induced thermal desorption with of the order of 10¹⁰ K s^–1 has proved to be a suitable method to determine both the frequency factor v and the activation energy E _d of desorption. The systems Ni(110)/N₂ and Ni(110)/CO serve as examples.     

Ageing evaluation of thermal barrier coatings by thermal diffusivity

Ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are widely applied for protecting from combustion gases hot path components of gas turbines for both aero- and land-based applications. In order to prevent the detachment of TBC, it would be essential to monitor their degradation in terms of sintering kinetic. As sintering strongly affects also the thermal diffusivity of TBC, the idea is to measure the latter parameter to account for the former. The technique to measure thermal diffusivity using pulsed thermography is described, together with the model that leads to the identification of TBC diffusivity. Tests and results on specimens artificially aged are reported.

CFETR ������������������ȷ���

Cryostat thermal shield (CTS) of China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) is designed with 304LN stainless steel being selected as the CTS material. The CTS is divided into 16 sectors with each sector encompassing 20 sub-sectors, the corresponding cooling tubes are arranged on each sub-sector of the CTS panel sector, and liquid helium is selected as the coolant. The thermal analysis of the designed CTS structure is performed based on FLUENT, and the temperature distribution of the CTS panel and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling pipeline are obtained. The results show that the temperature of the CTS panel and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the cooling tubes are within a reasonable range, which verifies the rationality of the layout of the cooling pipeline, and it provides reference for optimal design of the CTS.     

热整流效应的消失与翻转现象

研究了热整流器模型当中碰撞效应对其热传导性质,尤其是热整流效应的影响:碰撞会引起声子能带的交叠.在高温区,发现在考虑了粒子间的碰撞之后,声子能带会有明显的重叠,热整流效应会被削弱甚至消失.而在低温区,由于交换热源时,碰撞效应对声子能带交叠的贡献存在差别,因而出现了翻转的热整流效应.结果表明在设计热整流器件时,必须要考虑碰撞效应的影响.     

Active correction of thermal lensing through external radiative thermal actuation

Absorption of laser beam power in optical elements induces thermal gradients that may cause unwanted phase aberrations. In precision measurement applications, such as laser interferometric gravitational-wave detection, corrective measures that require mechanical contact with or attachments to the optics are precluded by noise considerations. We describe a radiative thermal corrector that can counteract thermal lensing and (or) thermoelastic deformation induced by coating and substrate absorption of collimated Gaussian beams. This radiative system can correct anticipated distortions to a high accuracy, at the cost of an increase in the average temperature of the optic. A quantitative analysis and parameter optimization is supported by results from a simplified proof-of-principle experiment, demonstrating the method's feasibility for our intended application.

Coherent thermal radiation

The radiation emitted by a heated body is generally quoted as a typical example of incoherent radiation, in distinction to laser radiation. One is nearly isotropic, the other highly directional; one is spectrally broad, the other quasi-monochromatic. It may come as a surprise that the thermal radiation of a large number of substances is coherent, both in space and time, when it is observed at a distance from the body that is shorter than the wavelength. This behaviour can be understood within an electromagnetic approach to thermal emission. Several recent experiments have confirmed these unexpected properties.     

Spin-boson thermal rectifier

Rectification of heat transfer in nanodevices can be realized by combining the system inherent anharmonicity with structural asymmetry. We analyze this phenomenon within the simplest anharmonic system-a spin-boson nanojunction model. We consider two variants of the model that yield, for the first time, analytical solutions: a linear separable model in which the heat reservoirs contribute additively, and a nonseparable model suitable for a stronger system-bath interaction. Both models show asymmetric (rectifying) heat conduction when the couplings to the heat reservoirs are different.     

Investigation on thermal performance of a high-temperature heat-pipe thermal protection structure

Sharp leading edges with a millimeter-scale radius are required for hypersonic vehicles from aerodynamic reasons. However, with the leading edges being so sharp, stagnation regions at wing and tail leading edges suffer a hostile thermal environment. Therefore, a high-temperature heat pipe is considered to be integrated into the structure of the leading edge to reduce the temperature of the stagnation point. In this paper, a superalloy-refractory composite-container-“wall” combined with the wick and working fluid structure is proposed, which is proved to be a feasible design of a heat pipe for the semi-passive thermal protection system (TPS). The effects of different material of the exterior surface on the temperature distributions are investigated. The effect of the half wedge angle, the design length and porosity of the wick is also investigated to find the effect of the geometry of the structure of the leading edge on the operation of the heat pipe.

Investigation of thermal effects in through-silicon vias using scanning thermal microscopy

Results of quantitative investigations of copper through-silicon vias (TSVs) are presented. The experiments were performed using scanning thermal microscopy (SThM), enabling highly localized imaging of thermal contrast between the copper TSVs and the surrounding material. Both dc and ac active-mode SThM was used and differences between these variants are shown. SThM investigations of TSVs may provide information on copper quality in TSV, as well as may lead to quantitative investigation of thermal boundaries in micro- and nanoelectronic structures. A proposal for heat flow analysis in a TSV, which includes the influence of the boundary region between the TSV and the silicon substrate, is presented; estimation of contact resistance and boundary thermal conductance is also given.     

Filler-matrix thermal boundary resistance of diamond-copper composite with high thermal conductivity

A composite material with a high thermal conductivity is obtained by capillary infiltration of copper into a bed of diamond particles of 400 μm size, the particles having been pre-coated with tungsten. The measured thermal conductivity of the composite decreases from 910 to 480 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ when the coating thickness is increased from 110 to 470 nm. Calculations of the filler/matrix thermal boundary resistance R and the thermal conductivity of the coating layer λ _i using differential effective medium, Lichtenecker’s and Hashin’s models give similar numerical values of R and λ _i ≈ 1.5 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. The minimal thickness of the coating h ∼ 100 nm necessary for ensuring production of a composite while maximizing its thermal conductivity, is of the same order as the free path of the heat carriers in diamond (phonons) and in copper (electrons). The heat conductance of the diamond/tungsten carbide coating/copper interface when h is of this thickness is estimated as (0.8–1) × 10⁸ W m⁻² K⁻¹ and is at the upper level of values characteristic for perfect dielectric/metal boundaries.

The effective thermal conductivity of sandstone at high pressures of up to 400 MPa and temperatures of 273–523 K has been studied.

The contribution of the radiation heat transfer in measurements of the thermal conductivity of sandstone at various temperatures has been analyzed taking into account the reflection and attenuation of the thermal radiation. The results of measuring the reflection and absorption spectra of the thermal radiation have been presented.
