We present an equation for the heat-flux vector that goes beyond Fourier's Law of heat conduction, in order to model shockwave propagation in gases. Our approach is motivated by the observation of a disequilibrium among the three components of temperature, namely, the difference between the temperature component in the direction of a planar shock wave, versus those in the transverse directions. This difference is most prominent near the shock front. We test our heat-flow equation for the case of strong shock waves in the ideal gas, which has been studied in the past and compared to Navier-Stokes solutions. The new heat-flow treatment improves the agreement with nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations of hard spheres under strong shockwave conditions.

Nowadays, the advancement of heat transmission for the heat exchanger device is an important field of research for many researchers. In this work, a numerical study has been conducted to investigate the thermal performance of a mixed convective flow through the octagonal heat exchanger covered by hybrid nanofluid (Cu-TiO-HO). A magnetic field has been introduced inside the cavity to investigate the mixed convective hydrodynamics heat flow characteristics.

The purpose of this work is to study the kinetics of the heat flow heating the substrate, which is generated by a two-layer sandwich magnetron target when sputtered in argon. Its novelty resides in the application of the COMSOL Multiphysics to study the kinetics of thermal processes during sputtering of a target of the new type. The analysis was performed for a sandwich target with internal copper and external titanium plates when the discharge power varied in the range of 400-1200 W.

Fourier's law dictates that heat flows from warm to cold. Nevertheless, devices can be tailored to cloak obstacles or even reverse the heat flow. Mathematical transformation yields closed-form equations for graded, highly anisotropic thermal metamaterial distributions needed for obtaining such functionalities.

Simultaneously guiding electromagnetic waves and heat flow at any incidence angle to smoothly bypass some electromagnetic/thermal sensitive elements is a key factor to ensure efficient communication and thermal protection for an on-chip system. In this study, an omnidirectional on-chip electromagnetic-thermal cloak is proposed. Firstly, a holey metallic plate with periodic array of subwavelength apertures is designed by optical surface transformation to realize an omnidirectional electromagnetic cloaking module for on-chip electromagnetic signal.
