Heat Transport in Micro- and Nanoscale Thin Films presents aspects and applications of the principle methods of heat transport in relation to nanoscale films. Small-scale parts and thin films are widely used in the electronics industry. However, the drastic change in the thermal conductivity with reducing device size and film thickness modifies the energy transport by heat-carrying phonons in the film. Energy transfer in small-sized devices and thin films deviate from the classical diffusion to radiative transport. This book deals with micro/nano scale heat transfer in small scale devices and the thin films, including interface properties of cross-plane transport. The book fills the gap between applications of the physical fundamentals and energy transport at the micro- and nano scale, which will be valuable for academics, researchers and students in the fields of materials science and energy transport. - Offers a specialist focus on nanoscale thin films, allowing the reader to create more efficient heat transfer systems - Includes in-depth coverage of the formulation of transient energy transport for short durations of heating, which is valuable those working in electronics - Focuses on applications and real-life case studies to clearly illustrate how the theories explained in the book can be used in industry
Self-Cleaning of Surfaces and Water Droplet Mobility deals with the self-cleaning of hydrophobic surfaces. Chapters cover the basics of wetting states of fluids and surface characteristics in terms of texture topology and free energy. The self-cleaning aspects of surfaces, such as various synthesizing and fabrication processes are then introduced and discussed, along with environmental dust properties, including elemental compositions, particle sizes and shapes, and their chemo-mechanics characteristics. In addition, mud formation in humid air, as well as ambient and dry mud adhesion on optically transparent surfaces is explored, as is water droplet dynamics on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, amongst other topics. The book fills the gap between the physical fundamentals of surface energy and texture characteristics for practical applications of surface cleaning and provides a basic understanding of the self-cleaning of surfaces that will be idea for academics, researchers and students. - Showcases the fundamental aspects of the self-cleaning of surfaces - Includes practical applications in energy and other sectors - Contains a review of the characterization of environmental dust on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces - Discusses the fabrication and optimization of surfaces towards self-cleaning - Presents practical applications of the self-cleaning of surfaces via water droplet mobility
