The continuous casting process is a fundamental operation in modern steel production, whereby molten metal is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms or slabs. Optimisation of the associated ...

When we think about heat traveling through a material, we typically picture diffusive transport, a process that transfers ...

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.

Manufacturers frequently employ heat transfer systems to sustain the high temperatures necessary for various forms of indirect heat transfer processes. Historically, facilities opted for steam-based ...

Passive thermal control relies on design features and materials like insulation layers, reflective coatings, and thermal barriers. Because passive solutions have no moving parts, they require less ...

Heat transfer between objects a few molecules apart is 100x higher than predicted, confirmed by new data. Cause unknown but key for nanoscale temperature control. (Nanowerk News) More heat is ...
