Thermotronics: Towards Nanocircuits to Manage Radiative Heat Flux
نویسنده
چکیده
The control of electric currents in solids is at the origin of the modern electronics revolution that has driven our daily life since the second half of 20th century. Surprisingly, to date, there is no thermal analogue for a control of heat flux. Here, we summarise the very last developments carried out in this direction to control heat exchanges by radiation both in near and far-field in complex architecture networks.

Numerical simulation of a three-layered radiant porous heat exchanger including lattice Boltzmann simulation of fluid flow
This paper deals with the hydrodynamic and thermal analysis of a new type of porous heat exchanger (PHE). This system operates based on energy conversion between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. The proposed PHE has one high temperature (HT) and two heat recovery (HR1 and HR2) sections. In HT section, the enthalpy of flowing high temperature gas flow that is converted to thermal radiation em...
متن کاملRadiative heat transfer: many-body effects
Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...
متن کاملExploration of the Significance of Autocatalytic Chemical Reaction and Cattaneo-Christov Heat Flux on the Dynamics of a Micropolar Fluid
During the homogeneous-heterogeneous autocatalytic chemical reaction in the dynamics of micropolar fluid, relaxation of heat transfer is inevitable; hence Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is investigated in this report. In this study, radiative heat flux through an optically thick medium is treated as nonlinear due to the fact that thermal radiation at low heat energy is distinctly different f...
متن کاملStructure and Properties of a Natural Celulosic Hollow Fiber
The interaction of thermal radiation with conduction and laminar natural convection in a vertical circular pin, situated at participating gas, is numerically investigated. An absorbing and emitting gas is considered, and treated to be a gray participating media. Under the idealizing of gray gas, the Rosselan4 approximation is employed to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Laminar Convection Flow of Radiating Gas over a Backward Facing Step in a Duct
In this study, three-dimensional simulations are presented for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas over a backward-facing step in rectangular duct. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is used to solve the governing equations which are conservations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations...
