Summary: This study proposed a new method to cool asphalt pavements by incorporating a hybrid mineral filler (HMF) with high emissivity into a reference asphalt mixture. The results showed that HMF increased the emissivity and rutting resistance of the asphalt mastic, and enhanced the thermal conductivity of the asphalt mixture. The combined effect of high emissivity and thermal conductivity led to a lower surface temperature in the tests.

Summary: Moss-dominated biocrusts have significant regulatory effects on surface soil thermal properties and temperature, mainly by reducing heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity, thereby increasing the thermal resistance and insulation capacity of the soil and altering the surface water content and temperature.

Summary: We present an approach combining multiple probe wavelengths' nanosecond transient thermoreflectance technique with a transient temperature rise model to study the linear relation between reflectance change and temperature change. This method enables fast and accurate determination of the temperature range and the thermoreflectance coefficient. Our findings show that the linear relationships of commonly used metal transducers may become nonlinear at elevated temperatures. This method provides a reliable platform to characterize thermoreflectance properties and understand the mechanism of thermoreflectance linear relationship.

Summary: The normal spectral emissivities, heat capacities, and thermal conductivities of Pd and Ti melts were measured using an electromagnetic levitation technique in a static magnetic field. The results were compared with values evaluated by a free electron model, leading to discussions on the correlation between density of states at Fermi energy and thermal diffusivities for transition metals.

Summary: Incorporating expanded perlite into calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement-based mortars can significantly reduce their thermal conductivity, showing great potential for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly building materials. The study also found that the thermal properties of CSA cement-based mortars were mainly affected by the aggregate replacement ratios.

Summary: The normal spectral emissivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of type 316 austenitic stainless steel (SS) containing B4C in the liquid state were experimentally measured. It was found that the normal spectral emissivity and specific heat capacity were almost constant with temperature, while the thermal conductivities had a negligible or small positive temperature dependence. The B4C-content dependence of each property had a different tendency across the eutectic composition of the SS-B4C pseudo-binary system.

Summary: The research found that the thermal diffusivity of liquids and supercritical fluids has a lower bound determined by fundamental physical constants and electron and molecule masses. The theoretical minimum of thermal diffusivity aligns with the fundamental lower limit of kinematic viscosity. This indicates a significant correlation between the two transport mechanisms in different systems.

Summary: We report a study on the single crystals of selenospinel Cu6-xFe4+xSn12Se32 (x = 0, 1, 2), which have a cubic structure with the Fd3m space group and exhibit typical semiconductor behavior. The large difference between the activation energy for electrical conductivity Ep (32.3-69.8 meV) and for thermopower ES (3.2-11.5 meV) indicates the presence of a polaronic transport mechanism between 350 and 50 K. As the temperature decreases, it evolves into variable-range hopping conduction. Furthermore, the heat capacity shows a hump around 25(5) K and deviates from the Debye T3 law at low temperatures, suggesting the observation of structural glassy features in these crystalline solids.

Summary: The comprehensive discussion on the increase of thermal conductivity in high-temperature thermal barrier coatings is lacking. This study examines the behavior of increased high-temperature thermal conductivity in (La0.2Gd0.2Y0.2Yb0.2Er0.2)2(Zr1-xTix)2O7 high-entropy ceramics. The thermal conductivities of x = 0.1-0.5 components increase with composition and temperature above 600 degrees C. The improved photon thermal conductivity, indicated by significantly reduced emissivity and improved transmittance, is the main reason for the increase in high-temperature thermal conductivity. Importantly, this study provides a pathway to explore different behaviors of high-temperature thermal conductivity and contributes to the design and development of advanced thermal barrier coatings with low thermal conductivity.

Summary: This study investigated the thermal transport mechanism in aerogels of metal thermal protection system (MTPS) using CFD numerical simulation, particularly focusing on the impact of emissivity on thermal insulation performance. The results indicated that reducing emissivity can significantly enhance thermal insulation performance, especially for materials with small extinction coefficients at high temperatures.

Summary: Selection rules have a significant impact on three-phonon scattering in certain compounds, revealing anomalous behavior in the pressure and temperature dependence of thermal conductivities. Boron phosphide shows sharp initial rise and peak-drop patterns in thermal conductivity with pressure, contrasting with the behavior of many solids, and these findings motivate further experimental efforts.

Summary: This study presents correlations between cone penetration tests and thermal properties of saturated ground, which significantly reduce the time needed to obtain thermal properties of soils. The correlations show good agreement with laboratory tests and various soil types, but empirical adjustments are required for certain types of soils.

Summary: This paper presents research results on the performance of aerogel materials in terms of thermal conductivity, specific heat, and combustion heat, providing important references for designers and researchers. The study found that temperature and external load significantly affect thermal conductivity, while thickness variations have minor impacts. Additionally, the combustion heat of aerogel was measured and investigated before and after combustion using advanced microscopy techniques.
