In the present Rapid Communication we present an analytical and numerical solution of the self-consistent mode-coupling equations for the problem of heat conductivity in one-dimensional systems. Such a solution leads us to propose a different scenario to accommodate the known results obtained so far for this problem. More precisely, we conjecture that the universality class is determined by the...

a series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of tio2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% ts by in-situ polymerization method. the influence of surface modified tio2 nanoparticles on the thermal properties of ps matrix was examined using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. thermal characteristics of the polystyrene/ts/tio2 hybrid ...

in this paper, wavelet collocation method has been used to solve nonlinear fin problem with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. thermal conductivity of fin materials varies any type so that we consider thermal conductivity as the general function of temperature.  here we consider three particular cases, where we assume that thermal conductivity is constant,...

Anomalous large thermal conductivity has been observed numerically and experimentally in one- and two-dimensional systems. There is an open debate about the role of conservation of momentum. We introduce a model whose thermal conductivity diverges in dimensions 1 and 2 if momentum is conserved, while it remains finite in dimension d > or = 3. We consider a system of harmonic oscillators perturb...

The propagation of the normal zone in composite superconductors with high thermal resistance and high electrical contact resistance between the superconducting and the normal components of the conductor is analysed. It is shown that in certain conditions propagation can result from successive multiple splittings of the resistive domain generated. The minimum initiation current of this process h...
