The optimal insulation of a heat conducting body by a thin film of variable thickness can be formulated as a nondifferentiable, nonlocal eigenvalue problem. The discretization and iterative solution for the reliable computation of…
In this paper we study the distribution of the temperature within a body where the heat is transported only by radiation. Specifically, we consider the situation where both emission-absorption and scattering processes take place. We study…
We consider a heat conduction problem $S$ with mixed boundary conditions in a n-dimensional domain $\Omega$ with regular boundary $\Gamma$ and a family of problems $S_{\alpha}$, where the parameter $\alpha>0$ is the heat transfer…
We study the diffusive limit approximation for a nonlinear radiative heat transfer system that arises in the modeling of glass cooling, greenhouse effects and in astrophysics. The model is considered with the reflective radiative boundary…
We are investigating the effective heat transfer in complex systems involving porous media and surrounding fluid layers in the context of mathematical homogenization. We differentiate between two fundamentally different cases: Case (a),…
Motivated by the search for sharp bounds on turbulent heat transfer as well as the design of optimal heat exchangers, we consider incompressible flows that most efficiently cool an internally heated disc. Heat enters via a distributed…
We prove new bounds on the heat flux out of the bottom boundary, $\mathcal{F}_B$, for a fluid at infinite Prandtl number, heated internally between isothermal parallel plates under two kinematic boundary conditions. In uniform internally…
An eigenvalue problem arising in optimal insulation related to the minimization of the heat decay rate of an insulated body is adapted to enforce a positive lower bound imposed on the distribution of insulating material. We prove the…
We discuss the initial boundary value problem for a heat equation in a domain surrounded by a layer. The main features of this problem are twofold: on one hand, the layer is thin compared to the scale of the domain, and on the other hand,…
Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold and $\Omega$ a smooth domain of $M$. We study the following heat diffusion problem: assume that the initial temperature is equal to $1$, uniformly on $\Omega$, and is $0$ on its complement. Heat will then…
Convection in a spherical shell is widely used to model fluid layers of planets and stars. The choice of thermal boundary conditions in such models is not always straightforward. To understand the implications of this choice, we report on…
Let $\Omega\subset\R^n$, $n\ge 3$, be a smooth bounded domain and consider a coupled system in $\Omega$ consisting of a conductivity equation $\nabla \cdot \gamma(x) \nabla u(t,x)=0$ and an anisotropic heat equation…
The work describes the maximization problem regarding heating of an area on the surface of a thin plate within a given temperature range. The solution of the problem is applied to ion injectors. The given temperature range corresponds to a…
Internally heated convection involves the transfer of heat by fluid motion between a distribution of sources and sinks. Focusing on the balanced case where the total heat added by the sources matches the heat taken away by the sinks, we…
The mean vertical heat transport $\langle wT \rangle$ in convection between isothermal plates driven by uniform internal heating is investigated by means of rigorous bounds. These are obtained as a function of the Rayleigh number $R$ by…
We consider a steady-state heat conduction problem $P$ for the Poisson equation with mixed boundary conditions in a bounded multidimensional domain $\Omega$. We also consider a family of problems $P_{\alpha}$ for the same Poisson equation…
A theoretical analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the Robin wall characterized by the extrapolation length $\Lambda$ in the electric field $\mathscr{E}$ that pushes the particle to the surface is presented both in the canonical and…
In the framework of the optimal wave energy absorption, we solve theoretically and numerically a parametric shape optimization problem to find the optimal distribution of absorbing material in the reflexive one defined by a characteristic…
An inverse problem for a stationary heat transfer process is studied for a totally isolated bar on its lateral surface, of negligible diameter, made up of two consecutive sections of different, isotropic and homogeneous materials. At the…
The heat equation is considered in the complex medium consisting of many small bodies (particles) embedded in a given material. On the surfaces of the small bodies an impedance boundary condition is imposed. An equation for the limiting…
