.... 25 03 2014 26 12 2014 03 02 2015 Meso and microscale two-phase flow heat transport involves devices that are used to remove heat from small surface areas by circulating a working fluid through the heated space and causing phase change from liquid to vapor. There is an impetus...

.... 17 06 2012 05 09 2013 25 11 2014 Heat pipes are well known as simple and effective heat transport devices, utilizing two-phase flow and the capillary phenomenon to remove heat. However, the generation of capillary pressure requires a wicking structure and the overall heat transport...

... and with heat exchange between flowing fluids and its surroundings that is relevant to the geothermal applications. Analytical solutions are presented and validated for the steady-state problem using the proposed method. 21 07 2011 09 12 2011 22 05 2012 22 05 2012 heat transport...

... heat transport in these devices. These equations of heat transport are more general than the Fourier one and they explicitly incorporate nonlocal effects. Although they may be obtained by starting from the Boltzmann equation, these equations are much simpler than the Boltzmann equation itself...

...F. X. Alvarez; D. Jou We analyze the effects of boundary conditions on the evolution of ballistic heat transport in four theoretical models and propose that a Fourier equation with an effective size-dependent thermal conductivity is a good candidate for the description of ballistic transport when...

... in this manuscript. The needed conservation equations and closure relations appear, but the actual inclusion of the closed equations is not provided. This is consistent with the case of flow and heat transport in a natural porous medium. For a situation where a coating of highly conductive or insulating material...
