Thermal transport in thin metal films irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses
01 Feb. 2008 | Animations | Contributor(s): Illayathambi Kunadian
Ultrafast laser heating of metals from a microscopic point of view according to Qui et al. Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 37, 1994, is composed of three processes: deposition of radiation energy on electrons, the transport of energy by electrons, and heating of the material lattice through …

Nanomachining of Metallic Surfaces
09 May. 2008 | Animations | Contributor(s): Jaime A. Sanchez, M. Pinar Menguc
Nanomanufacturing is a research area that is growing rapidly in the recent years. The current demands of industry require the precise modification of surfaces to make holes, lines, arrays, structures and so on, that can be used for a diverse number of applications. Thus, the desire to pattern in …

Convective Boiling in Microchannels
14 Jan. 2009 | Animations | Contributor(s): Tannaz Harirchian, Suresh V. Garimella
To develop a flow regime map for convective boiling in microchannels and to propose flow pattern-based models to predict the corresponding heat transfer coefficients, a thorough understanding of the existing flow patterns and their transitions is necessary. In the present work, high-speed …

Thermal investigation of radiation defects
29 Jan. 2009 | Animations | Contributor(s): Greg Walker
Microelectronic devices (MOSFETs) were irradiated with heavy ions and subsequently damaged (gate rupture). By shorting the source and drain of the MOSFET and applying a voltage to the gate, the damaged devices will leak a tremendous amount of current. The current leakage will then heat up the …

Quasi-static compaction of metal hydride powder
02 May. 2009 | Animations | Contributor(s): Kyle Christopher Smith
Metal hydride powders exhibit faceted morphology and polydispersity due to the hydrogen induced fracture. This animation depicts quasi-static compaction of metal hydride powder generated via an istropic random fracture model. Thermal-fluidic properties of the packing depend strongly on particle …
