Our technology loses a lot of energy as heat. For computing technology, the heat isn’t only a problem because the energy is wasted; it can also slow down or damage your device. You don’t want your ...

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 due to ...

Deyu Li and Josh Caldwell, both Professors of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt, are part of a team of researchers who discovered a new heat dissipation channel using phonon polaritons that could ...

Copper moves the world’s heat. For more than a century it has been recognized as one of the best heat conductors in nature, and this property made copper the go-to choice to cool electronics, ...

Researchers at UCLA recently developed what they are calling a thermal transistor: a solid-state device able to control the flow of heat with an electric field. This opens the door to controlling the ...

Heat exchangers are used to transfer thermal energy from one type of liquid or steam source to another kind of liquid source at a wide range of facilities. Whether heating a space or some type of ...

All electronic systems work within upper and lower temperature limits, outside of which they may not function as well or even malfunction. This article focuses on how high temperatures affect ...
