TL;DR: The thermal contact resistance between polymer matrix composites (PMCs) imposes the significant impacts on the design, processing and application of these materials as mentioned in this paper , and the main challenges for the accurate estimation are summarized, mainly including the complex interfacial thermal conductance due to the addition of fillers, the anisotropic thermal and mechanical responses due to heterogeneity of PMCs, the uncertain contact mechanics due to special mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Based on the prediction model of acid deposition, a three-dimensional numerical simulation was performed for acid deposition characteristics of H-type finned tube bank with 10 rows, and the effect of six geometric parameters (spanwise tube pitch, longitudinal tube pitch and fin height, fin pitch, fin thickness and slit width) and Reynolds number were examined as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors presented insights into the interfacial layer and its effects on ETC of solar salt-based nanofluids through molecular dynamics simulation, and the results showed that both the size and specie of NPs affect the thickness of the outer interfacial layers.

TL;DR: In this article , a novel inverse method is proposed to simultaneously estimate the temperature-dependent solid and liquid phase TCs of a phase change material (PCM) undergoing the phase transformation under the working conditions such as thermal energy storage (TES).

TL;DR: In this paper , a magnetically dynamic tuning of liquid deformation and particle chains for heat transfer was explained, which can be utilized for thermal management of electronic devices by controlling the droplet and fluid.
