WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New findings have solved a longstanding obstacle in research to understand the effects of heat conduction in solid materials, a critical issue in many applications, from energy ...

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 ...

Thermal and structural analyses are the most frequently performed finite-element analyses. Both use the same type of partial-differential equations and are analogous in other ways as well. Let's start ...

Complex materials such as organic semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are already being used for numerous applications such as OLED displays, solar cells, gas ...
