In freeze drying, thermal radiation has a significant effect on the drying process of vials located near the corner and edge of the trays, resulting in non-uniformity of the products. Understanding and being able to predict the impact of…
A huge amount of thermal energy is available close to material surfaces in radiative and non-radiative states, which can be useful for matter characterization or for energy devices. One way to harness this near-field energy is to scatter it…
Thermal conductivity and interfacial thermal conductance play crucial roles in the design of engineering systems where temperature and thermal stress are of concerns. To date, a variety of measurement techniques are available for both bulk…
