Overview of aluminum alloy mechanical properties during and after fires

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a broad overview of the mechanical behavior of aluminum alloys both during and following fire, including empirical relations, physically-based constitutive models, and finite element implementations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flow condensation in parallel micro-channels – Part 1: Experimental results and assessment of pressure drop correlations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated condensation of FC-72 along parallel, square micro-channels with a hydraulic diameter of 1 mm and a length of 29.9 cm, which were formed in the top surface of a solid copper plate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Inelastic Scattering at Metal-Dielectric Interfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the role of multiple-phonon processes in thermal boundary conductance at high temperatures was examined by transient thermoreflectance testing at high temperature, showing an increase in the conductance indicating inelastic phonon processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical investigation of heat transfer enhancement in a pipe partially filled with a porous material under local thermal non-equilibrium condition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined numerically the heat transfer enhancement in a pipe partially filled with a porous medium under local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) condition, where the flow inside the porous material was modelled using the Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model and the effect of different parameters such as, inertia (F), Darcy number (Da), conductivity ratio, porosity and particle diameter on the validity of local thermal equilibrium (LTE) were studied.

Effects of electron scattering at metal-nonmetal interfaces on electron-phonon equilibration in gold films

TL;DR: In this article, transient thermoreflectance (TTR) experiments utilizing ultrashort pulsed laser systems were used to resolve electron-phonon nonequilibrium, and the thermophysical property relating rate of equilibration to electron-interface scattering events G can be quantified.
