Hydrodynamics equations derived directly from Boltzmann’s equation and specialized to sheared planar ow are shown to yield approximate nonlinear laws of heat transport and of viscous ow. The law of viscous ow predicts non-Newtonian e ects including shear thinning and the law of heat transport is more general than Fourier’s law: it is not linear and it implies heat ow parallel to the isotherms. ...

We present an observation-based heat budget analysis for seasonal and interannual variations of ocean heat content (H) in the mixed layer (Hmld) and full-depth ocean (Htot). Surface heat flux and ocean heat content estimates are combined using a novel Kalman smoother-based method. Regional contributions from ocean heat transport convergences are inferred as a residual and the dominant drivers o...

Understanding thermal transport from nanoscale hot spots is important for a fundamental description of energy transport in materials, as well as many technological applications including thermal management in nanoelectronics, thermoelectric devices, nano-enhanced photovoltaics and nanoparticle-mediated thermal therapies. Heat transfer at the nanoscale is fundamentally different from that at the...

Understanding thermal transport from nanoscale heat sources is important for a fundamental description of energy flow in materials, as well as for many technological applications including thermal management in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, thermoelectric devices, nanoenhanced photovoltaics, and nanoparticle-mediated thermal therapies. Thermal transport at the nanoscale is fundamentally ...

The paper deals with an analysis of time series of heat demand course. The course of heat demand and heat consumption can be demonstrated by means of heat demand diagrams. The most important one is the Daily Diagram of Heat Supply (DDHS) which demonstrates the course of requisite heat output during the day. This analysis is utilized for building up a prediction model of the DDHS. Forecast of th...

The coupling between the transport and magnetic topology is an important issue because the structure of magnetic islands, embedded in a toroidal equilibrium field, depends on the nature of the transport at the edge of the islands. Measurements of modulated heat pulse propagation in the DIII-D tokamak have revealed the existence of self-regulated oscillations in the radial energy transport into ...
