Fifty-one papers (and three keynote addresses) on contemporary theoretical issues and experimental techniques pertaining to the underlying factors that control heat-conduction behavior of materials. The latest findings on insulation, fluids, and low-dimensional solids and composites are reviewed as
The main objective of this book is to cover the basic understanding of thermal conduction mechanisms in various high thermal conductivity materials including diamond, cubic boron nitride, and also the latest material like carbon nanotubes. The book is intended as a good reference book for scientists and engineers involved in addressing thermal management issues in a broad spectrum of industries. Leading researchers from industry and academic institutions who are well known in their areas of expertise have contributed a chapter in the field of their interest.
New volume in the ITCC/ITES book series on thermal conductivity. Papers include applications related to thermophysical properties measurement methods, equipment, processes, theory, and new developments.
This book contains keynote lectures and 54 technical papers, presented at the 23rd International Thermal Conductivity Conference, on various topics, including techniques, coatings and films, theory, composites, fluids, metals, ceramics, and organics, related to thermal conductivity.
It has been almost thirty years since the publication of a book that is entirely dedicated to the theory, description, characterization and measurement of the thermal conductivity of solids. The recent discovery of new materials which possess more complex crystal structures and thus more complicated phonon scattering mechanisms have brought innovative challenges to the theory and experimental understanding of these new materials. With the development of new and novel solid materials and new measurement techniques, this book will serve as a current and extensive resource to the next generation researchers in the field of thermal conductivity. This book is a valuable resource for research groups and special topics courses (8-10 students), for 1st or 2nd year graduate level courses in Thermal Properties of Solids, special topics courses in Thermal Conductivity, Superconductors and Magnetic Materials, and to researchers in Thermoelectrics, Thermal Barrier Materials and Solid State Physics.
