Description

Micro and Nano Thermal Transport Research: Characterization, Measurement and Mechanism is a complete and reliable reference on thermal measurement methods and mechanisms of micro and nanoscale materials. The book has a strong focus on applications and simulation, providing clear guidance on how to measure thermal properties in a systematic way. Sections cover the fundamentals of thermal properties before introducing tools to help readers identify and analyze thermal characteristics of these materials. The thermal transport properties are then further explored by means of simulation which reflect the internal mechanisms used to generate such thermal properties.

Readers will gain a clear understanding of thermophysical measurement methods and the representative thermal transport characteristics of micro/nanoscale materials with different structures and are guided through a decision-making process to choose the most effective method to master thermal analysis. The book is particularly suitable for those engaged in the design and development of thermal property measurement instruments, as well as researchers of thermal transport at the micro and nanoscale.

Key features

  • Includes a variety of measurement methods and thermal transport characteristics of micro and nanoscale materials under different structures
  • Guides the reader through the decision-making process to ensure the best thermal analysis method is selected for their setting
  • Contains experiments and simulations throughout that help apply understanding to practice

Readership

Engineers and researchers designing and developing thermal property measuring instruments; researchers of heat transport mechanisms; those working with micro/Nano scale materials in the thermal field; mechanical engineers. Undergraduate students in thermal engineering/sciences or Nano/microscale materials for energy
