TL;DR: In this article, a detailed thermal model of a parabolic trough collector is presented, which takes into account all modes of heat transfer, including convection into the receiver pipe, in the annulus between the receiver and the glass cover, and from the receiver to ambient air; conduction through the metal receiver pipe and glass cover walls; and radiation from the metal receiving surface to the glass surface and the sky respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that liquid helium II in capillary tubes possesses an unusually large heat conductivity which, by analogy to superconductivity in metals, they named superheat-conductivity.
Abstract: Keesom and Keesom showed that liquid helium II in capillary tubes possesses an unusually large heat conductivity which, by analogy to superconductivity in metals, they named “superheat-conductivity”.

TL;DR: In this article, a model was presented, for which the absorbed microwave power was obtained by solving Maxwell's equations and then incorporated as a source term in the transient heat equation, and the proposed methodology was then applied to simulate microwave heating of foodstuffs.

28 Jun 2001TL;DR: In this article, a spring-biased member comprising a first side member, a second side member and a connecting member is adapted for springbiased removable attachment to a heat-producing device.
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to apparatus and methods for the spreading and dissipation of thermal energy from heat-producing components. More particularly, it relates to a heat transfer apparatus and methods particularly useful in the electrical arts. One embodiment of a heat transfer apparatus include but not limited to, a spring-biased member comprising a first side member, a second side member, and a connecting member adapted for spring-biased removable attachment to a heat-producing device. Another embodiment of a heat transfer apparatus is a spring-biased carrier that attaches to a heat-producing device and which carries a member, such as a finned plate. Another embodiment of a heat transfer apparatus is a spring-biased member comprising fingers for conducting thermal energy to a structure. Another embodiment of a heat transfer apparatus is a spring-biased clip used to attach separate heat-spreading/dissipating members, such as a finned plate, against a heat-producing member.
