To analyze the fluid flow and thermal characteristics in a nanoscale system, the planar Poiseuille flow of a Lennar-Jones liquid through parallel plates formed by fixed atoms is studied using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The role of important simulation parameters such as the channel width, the magnitude of external field, the temperatures of the top and bottom plates, and the interaction potential parameter between fluid and wall atoms, which affect flow patterns and heat transfer rate inside the channel, are investigated. Under the various simulation conditions, interesting phenomena deviated from the continuum predictions have found.

The analysis of the thermal boundary resistance is very important in the both cases of microscale and macroscale systems because it plays a role of thermal barrier against a heat flow. Especially, since fairly large heat energy is generated in microscale or nanoscale systems with electronic chips, the thermal boundary resistance is a key factor to guarantee the performance of those devices. In this study, the transfer of the oscillator's motion information with 2 degrees of freedom is investigated for clarifying the mechanism of a thermal boundary resistance. We found that the transfer of the oscillator's motion information is defined as a cross-correlation coefficient and the magnitude of it determines the temperature jump over a solid interface. That is, the temperature jump over an interface increases as the magnitude of a cross-correlation coefficient decreases and vice versa.

As increasing interest for soot emission. etc in combustion systems, various studies are being carried out for the reduction and measurement techniques of soot. Especially, laser induced incandescence is the useful measurement technique which has distinguished spatial and temporal resolution for primary particle size, volume fraction and aggregated particle size etc. Time resolved laser induced incandescence is the technique for measuring primary particle size that is decided to solve the signal decay rate which is related to the cooling behavior of heated particle by pulsed laser. The cooling behavior of heated particle is able to represent the heat and mass transfer model which are involved constants of soot property for surround gas temperature on the our previous work. In this study, it is applied to the time-dependence thermodynamic properties for soot temperature instead of constants of soot property for surround gas temperature and compared two different model results.

Since nanofluids (NFs), which are a mixture of a small amount of nanoparticles and a bulk liquid solvent, were first proposed by Stephen Choi at the Argonne National Lab in 1995, they have been considered for use in many technical studies of power cooling systems and their practical application due to their high thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficients compared to conventional coolants. Although nanofluids are a well-known form of engineering fluid that show great promise for use in future cooling systems, their underlying physics as demonstrated in experiments remain unclear. One proven method of determining the heat transfer performance of nanofluids is measuring the concentration of nanoparticles in a mixture. However, it is experimentally inefficient to build testbeds to systematically observe particle distributions on a nanoscale. In this paper, we demonstrate the distribution of nanoparticles under a temperature gradient in a solution using molecular dynamics simulations. First, temperature profiles based on substrate temperature are introduced. Following this, the radial pair distribution functions of pairs of nanoparticles, solvents, and substrates are calculated. Finally, the distribution of nanoparticles in different heating regions is determined.

A "finite volume method" is proposed to predict heat transport in a spherical enclosure at micro/nanoscale with the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). The gray version of the BTE with the relaxation time approximation has been applied. Pointing out similarity between radiative transfer equation (RTE) and BTE, the mapping process in RTE is adopted to treat the angular derivative term and linear algebraic discretization equation is derived by using the established method which is used in 2-D BTE in cartesian coordinates. The simulation results are compared to exact solution to RTE for various acoustic thicknesses and ratio of radii. The comparison shows that this method is logical and accurate, and it is possible to easily adopt various models in spherical BTE.

Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM) is the tool that can map out temperature or the thermal property distribution with the highest spatial resolution. Since the local temperature or the thermal property of samples is measured from the extremely small heat transferred through the nanoscale tip-sample contact, improving the sensitivity of SThM probe has always been the key issue. In this study, we develop a new design and fabrication process of SThM probe to improve the sensitivity. The fabrication process is optimized so that cantilevers and tips are made of thermally grown silicon dioxide, which has the lowest thermal conductivity among the materials used in MEMS. The new design allows much higher tip so that heat transfer through the air gap between the sample-probe is reduced further. The position of a reflector is located as far away as possible to minimize the thermal perturbation due to the laser. These full $SiO_2$ SThM probes have much higher sensitivity than that of previous ones.

본 논문에서는 비평형 분자동역학 시뮬레이션 기법을 사용하여 알루미늄 박막과 실리콘 웨이퍼 간 열경계저항을 예측하였다. 실리콘의 끝 단 고온부에 열을 공급하고, 같은 양의 열을 알루미늄 끝 단 저온부에서 제거하여 경계면을 통한 열전달이 일어나도록 하였으며, 실리콘 내부와 알루미늄 내부의 선형 온도 변화를 계산함으로써 경계면에서의 온도 차이에 따른 열저항 값을 구하였다. 300K 온도에서 $5.13{\pm}0.17m^2{\cdot}K/GW$의 결과를 얻었으며, 이는 열유속 조건의 변화와 무관함을 확인하였다. 아울러, 펨토초 레이저 기반의 시간영역 열반사율 기법을 사용하여 열경계저항 값을 실험적으로 구하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 전자빔 증착기를 사용하여 90nm 두께의 알루미늄 박막을 실리콘(100) 웨이퍼 표면에 증착하였으며, 유한차분법을 이용한 수치해석을 통해 열전도 방정식의 해를 구해 실험결과와 곡선맞춤 함으로써 열경계저항을 정량적으로 평가하고 나노스케일에서의 열전달 현상에 관한 특징을 살펴보았다.

In this study, a 3D microstructure-based model is established to simulate the effective thermal conductivity of cement paste, covering varying influencing factors associated with microstructure and thermal transfer mechanisms. The virtual cement paste divided into colloidal C-S-H and heterogeneous paste are reconstructed based on its structural attributes. Using the two-level hierarchical cement pastes as inputs, a lattice Boltzmann model for heat conduction is presented to predict the thermal conductivity. The results suggest that due to the Knudsen effect induced by the nanoscale pore, the thermal conductivity of air in C-S-H gel pore is significantly decreased, maximumly accounting for 3.3% thermal conductivity of air at the macroscale. In the cement paste, the thermal conductivities of dried and saturated cement pastes are stable at the curing age larger than 100 h. The high water-to-cement ratio can decrease the thermal conductivity of cement paste.
