Figure 1: Electrical and thermal conductivity of iron at Earth’s outer core conditions. Model 1 fails as a dynamo. There is an entropy deficit, meaning the assumption that the whole core can convect ...

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and ...

A thermodynamic description of transient heat conduction at small length and timescales is proposed. It is based on extended irreversible thermodynamics and the main feature of this formalism is to ...

Heat is an interesting form of energy. Not only does it sustain life, make us comfortable and help us prepare our food, but understanding its properties is key to many fields of scientific research.

Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...
