The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to investigate one-dimensional, multi-length and -time scale transient heat conduction in crystalline semiconductor solids, in which sub-continuum effects are important. The ...

Automotive heat shields are usually composed of two metal sheets enclosing an insulating material with a paper-like texture that contains refractory ceramic particles. This article discusses the results achieved by recycling ...

In recent work we have demonstrated the ability of a new thermal insulation design based on creating air cavities between parallel layers of insulation material with a low infrared emissivity (Expanded Polystyrene, 0.6) ...

In this paper we report a new technique for removing the self-heating from the DC output characteristics of a MOSFET. In this method, the self-heating is eliminated from the drain current through a mathematical procedure, ...

This paper reports an improved method for estimating the thermal resistance of a MOSFET device using the inverse of the transistor efficiency as a function of the power applied to the transistor's channel. This method was ...
