Recent developments in contact conductance heat transfer
Abstract
Recent developments in contact conductance heat transfer are reviewed. In particular, attention is given to theoretical, analytical, and numerical studies of contact conductance for conforming surfaces and other surface geometries and thermal conductance in such areas as advanced materials, microelectronics, and biomedicine. The discussion also includes such topics as thermal rectification, gas conductance, cylindrical contacts, periodic and sliding contacts, and conductance measurements. Finally, recommendations are given for some emerging and continuing areas of investigation.
