Thermacore, Inc. has announced the acquisition of k Technology, a business headquartered in Langhorne, PA, that designs and manufactures custom thermal management products for power electronics ...

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 ...

When driving in the rain, it’s preferable that the raindrops roll or bounce off of the windshield instead of coating it or even freezing. A team of engineers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at ...

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 ...

A mechanical engineer has developed an aircraft thermal management technology that stands ready for adaptation into other areas. Jonathan Boreyko, an associate professor in mechanical engineering, has ...

In some cases, heat conduction can even be dramatically limited by the fact that different isotopes of an element are built into the material -- i.e. similar atoms with different numbers of neutrons.

A mechanical pusher mechanism introduces the product carrier in pusher-type furnaces. The product carrier can include a rectangular boat with a lid in the case of a system equipped with a flat hearth ...

Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free electrons. This efficient heat conduction triggers a stronger sensation of ...
