Abstract: As CMOS transistor gate lengths are scaled below 45nm, thermal device design is becoming an important part of microprocessor engineering. Decreasing dimensions lead to nanometer-scale hot spots ...

Abstract: The 3ω method (17) is a powerful tool for thermophysical property measurement and has been used extensively for a wide variety of materials including dielectrics (18,33), superlattice materials ...

Abstract: While microchannel flow boiling has received much research attention, past work has not considered the impact of acoustic waves generated by rapidly nucleating bubbles. The present work provides ...

Abstract: In thermomechanical data storage, a heated atomic force microscope cantilever tip is in contact with and scans over a polymer film. Heating in the cantilever and cantilever tip induces local ...

Abstract: While many of the published papers on nanofluids focus on measuring the increased thermal conductivity of the suspension under static conditions, the convective performance of these fluids has ...

Abstract: While there has been much previous research on the thermal conductivity and convection performance of nanofluids, these data are rarely reported together with effective viscosity data that govern ...
