Summary: This study investigates the thermal energy transport across an SiC-SiC nanogap with four pairs of atomic surface terminations using classical nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that when the atomic surface terminations are identical, the net heat flux and thermal gap conductance are much greater than in the nonidentical cases. Thermal resonance occurs between identical atomic terminated layers, whereas it disappears between nonidentical ones. The notable enhancement of heat transfer in the identical C-C case is attributed to optical phonon transmission, with thermal resonance between the C-terminated layers. This study deepens the understanding of phonon heat transfer across nanogaps and provides insights into thermal management in nanoscale SiC power devices.

Summary: In this study, a method combining the discrete ordinate method (DOM), the finite element method (FEM), and the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is proposed to solve two-dimensional transient inverse coupled radiation and conduction problems. Firstly, three radiative thermo-physical parameters of semi-transparent media are simultaneously retrieved, and the factors affecting the reconstruction results are discussed in detail. Secondly, the parameters of Si3N4 ceramics are reconstructed using experimental measured temperatures as inverse inputs. The results show that the proposed method has high accuracy, good stability, and robustness.

Summary: This paper analyzed the transient coupled heat and moisture transfer in cylindrical and cylindrical panels of porous medium using three-dimensional finite element methods. The study considered both DuFour and Soret effects, derived weak forms of the equations using the Galerkin method, and solved the obtained differential equations using the Runge-Kutta method. The results were compared with analytical solutions, showing good agreement and demonstrating the formulation's applicability for transient analysis in cylindrical geometries under various boundary conditions.

Summary: The performance of a radiative cooling material is greatly influenced by environmental factors, which led to the development of a well-controlled setup to evaluate its performance universally. By fixing the total emissivity of the experimental setup, eliminating atmospheric radiation, and using a solar simulator to replicate solar flux, the proposed measurement setup can evaluate the material's performance independently of time, location, and environmental conditions.

Summary: The overall heat transfer efficiency of transient heat conduction structures can be maximized by minimizing heat compliance. However, in some cases, a new performance index called Transient Thermal Dissipation Efficiency (TTDE) is proposed to better describe the overall heat transfer efficiency. The TTDE-based model shows optimized designs with higher heat transfer efficiency compared to THC-based model, indicating that TTDE is a better objective for topology optimization in such cases.

Summary: This research utilized 3-dimensional computational models to analyze the airflow, temperature profile, and heat transfer of pineapple slices during solar drying. The study compared the performance of flat plate and finned collectors in mixed-mode solar dryers, and evaluated the moisture distribution inside the samples. The results showed that the finned collector assisted dryer had a shorter drying period and more uniform temperature profile compared to the dryer integrated with a flat plate collector.

Summary: The near-field radiative energy transfer between two separated parallel plates can be controlled by electric current and an in-plane magnetic field, resulting in tunable thermoelectric current generation in graphene. This control is achieved through the interplay between nonreciprocal photon occupation number in graphene and nonreciprocal surface modes in the magneto-optic plate.
