Über dieses Buch

Nanofins Science and Technology describes the heat transfer effectiveness of polymer coolants and their fundamental interactions with carbon nanotube coatings that act as nanofins. Heat transfer at micro/nano-scales has attracted significant attention in contemporary literature. This has been primarily driven by industrial requirements where significant decrease in the size of electronic devices/chips with concomitant enhancement in the heat flux have caused challenging needs for cooling of these platforms. With quantum effects kicking in, traditional cooling techniques need to be replaced with more effective technologies. A promising technique is to enhance heat transfer by surface texturing using nanoparticle coatings or engineered nanostructures. These nanostructures are termed as nanofins because they augment heat transfer by a combination of surface area enhancement as well as liquid-solid interactions at the molecular scale.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Abstract

Some of the ubiquitous terminologies used in this book are defined initially, as a caveat and to allay potential confusion. A considerable portion of this book is based on contents from a previous publication (Singh N, 2010, PhD Thesis, Texas A&M University). The nanofin effect and the associated nuances of this phenomenon are introduced in this chapter.

Chapter 2. Nanofins: Science

Abstract

This chapter provides background information on carbon nanotubes (CNT), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and interfacial thermal resistance (R_k). The first section discusses carbon nanotubes, their structure, properties, and potential applications. The second section introduces the molecular dynamics simulations. This section discusses the basic equations describing the motion of the atoms, the force field to calculate potential energy of the system, boundary conditions, and ensembles employed in this work and space–time correlation to calculate the properties of the system. The last two sections detail the interfacial thermal resistance, theories developed to calculate interfacial resistance, importance of interfacial resistance at nanoscales, and the simulation techniques developed and used in calculating the interfacial thermal resistance.

Chapter 3. Nanofins: Applications

Abstract

In this chapter, the results from the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are presented. The consequences of the nanofin effect are presented—such as surface adsorption of solvent molecules leading to density oscillations and effects on the resultant material properties are discussed.

Chapter 4. Nanofins: Implications

Abstract

The nuances and implications of the nanofin effect are summarized in this chapter. Future directions are identified to address the open questions in the literature pertaining to the nanofin effect.
