Thermal conductance is a measure of how easily heat can flow through a material. It tells us how well a substance conducts or transfers heat. A high
thermal conductance means heat can move easily through the material, while a low
thermal conductance means the material is not as effective in transferring heat.
Full definition
Chemical functionalization with organic molecules covalently attached to adjacent graphene sheets as a promising yet challenging approach for the enhancement of
thermal conductance between them.
Now that we know partial transmission processes can be important, researchers can build microscopic models and simulations to explore them in more detail, and engineers can design devices that enhance or take advantage of this aspect of
thermal conductance for a variety of materials.»
Control and improvement of
interfacial thermal conductance between graphene nanosheets plays a crucial role with respect to the manufacturing of highly thermally conductive nanomaterials and devices.
«Before this experiment, researchers had been proposing and modeling theories for metal -
diamond thermal conductance for some twenty years, based on data as a function of temperature,» Cahill said.
On average, there won't be a change in the equilibrium radiating temperature of the Earth, but there will be a change in the effective radiating altitude consequent on the change in the atmosphere's
effective thermal conductance.

interfacial thermal conductance between graphene nanosheets plays a crucial role with respect to the manufacturing of highly thermally conductive nanomaterials and devices.
The thermal conductance of an interface determines the rate of heat flow for a given temperature difference between the materials.
«Stiffer metals seem to have higher
thermal conductance on diamond, so our initial hypothesis was that the thermal conductance depended on the metal's stiffness,» Hohensee added.
We deposited different metal films on one of the two diamond anvils in a diamond anvil cell, sealed the cell with a gasket between the diamonds, and measured
the thermal conductance to pressures as high as 500,000 atmospheres.
A central challenge of thermal physics — and of interfacial
thermal conductance, specifically — is that phonons exist over a wide frequency range, and how phonons interact with interfaces and other phonons depends on their frequencies.
Bound states of excitations can influence
the thermal conductance properties of low - dimensional ferromagnets or the propagation speed of quantum information in magnetic wires.
The thermal conductances of the nanowire systems are compared to bulk values for silicon and expected values for nanowires.
This paper addresses the phonon transport and
the thermal conductance through a range of different molecular junctions, including alkyl chains with variable length, aliphatic - aromatic structures and polyaromatic junctions.
The thermal conductances of the phononic crystals are compared to the results for nanowires of similar sizes, both in dimension and number of particles, from the previous simulation.
Further comparison is done with nanowires of dimension similar to the phononic crystal structure to establish a relation between
their thermal conductances.
In addition,
the thermal conductance results for different orientations of the phononic crystals are assessed.
The relation between lengths, mass, stiffness, and strain of the molecular junctions and
the thermal conductance was found.
Radial and length dependences of
the thermal conductance for the nanowires are presented.
Using the resulting RNEMD data,
the thermal conductance and derived quantities are calculated using well known formulae.
What GHGs change is
the thermal conductance.
When you put on an extra blanket on a cold night you aren't «opening some channel wider» you are just decreasing
the thermal conductance between inside and out and thereby increasing the temperature difference.
