Moreover, energy analysis is performed in the presence of an internal heat source and thermal radiation phenomena. The thermal conductivity of base fluid water is strengthened by considering the carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Mathematical formulation operated, results in a set of non-linear coupled partial differential equations. The governed differential system is transformed into an ordinary differential system by considering suitable similarity variables. Exact solutions in the closed form are computed for the temperature, momentum and pressure gradient profiles. In this study, special attention is devoted to the electrical conductivity of the CNTs. Streamlines patterns are also discussed to witness the flow lines for different parameters. Thermodynamics analysis shows that entropy of the current flow system is an increasing function of Brinkmann number, magnetic parameter, nanoparticle concentration parameter and Darcy number.展开更多

It is found that an initial lowest energy state of the junction subsystem can evolve into a two-mode entangled Gaussian state through the interaction with the thermal radiation field. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of the temperature on the entanglement of the junctions and find that the CV entanglement of the two junctions shows the critical behavior with respect to the temperature.展开更多

Such devices can be used in various applications both military and civil, such as defence and security, medical applications, industrial surveillance, etc. Series of measurements were conducted to obtain TCC (temperature coefficient of current) versus gate voltage and temperature curves. The TCC is a figure of merit for a device used as the sensitive element in a bolometer that represents its sensitivity to temperature and as such is a good indicator of the detector attainable performance. The measurements were confronted to Atlas simulations, and showed that in the subthreshold region the TCC ranges from 4%/K all the way to 9%/K which represents a great improvement compared to state of the art thermistor bolometers. Analytic expressions of the TCC are also derived from current equations of the MOSFET (MOS field effect transistor) drain current to help understanding the effect of drain to source voltage, mobility, temperature and threshold voltage sensibility to temperature, in all three operation modes of the transistor (subthreshold, ohmic and saturation). It was also determined that gate length does not have an influence on the TCC until short channel effects are factored in.展开更多
