heat is transferred. This process is called conduction. The atoms in the hot spoon are moving faster than the water molecules. Faster-moving atoms in the spoon strike the water molecules, transferring ...

Heat energy can flow by conduction, convection or radiation. It always flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature i.e. from hot to cold. Conduction is the flow of heat ...

This article was originally published with the title “ The Conduction of Heat in Solids ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 207 No. 6 (December 1962), p. 92 doi:10.1038 ...

While serving as a visiting professor in Benevento, outside Naples, Italy, Adrian Bejan noticed something about the local ...

Imagine if phones never got hot no matter how many apps were running. Picture a future where supercomputers use less energy, ...

Fluids play a crucial role in industrial processes like cooling, heating, and mixing. Traditionally, most industries would ...

However, several recent experiments have found giant quantum oscillations in the heat conduction of semimetals ... become confined into discrete energy levels. This process dramatically enhances ...

Heat can be stored purely physically in the form of sensible heat (temperature difference), latent heat (phase change energy) and through the use of reversible chemical reactions (reaction energy).
