It is difficult to study instabilities experimentally since vacuum breakdown can happen. In this model, we show the factors that lead to thermal instability during field emission. After the Nottingham flux inversion, we see a considerable rise in temperature above a threshold electric field, followed by a thermal runaway. Cathode spots experience unexpected thermal defects and breakdowns, which is a phenomenon known as the Nottingham Inversion Instability. Although the idea of micro protrusions is frequently used in modeling studies, this study concentrates on the thermal effects during field emission from a planar cathode without taking the existence of such protrusions into account. The study reveals how Nottingham’s heating effect changes from heating to cooling. In our study, we have investigated the interaction between Nottingham, Joule heating, and effective work function. The results also imply that faster reaching critical temperature is associated with larger maximum beta values. These discoveries have significance for the design and improvement of high-voltage systems and help to understand vacuum breakdown. The possibility of cathode spot ignition and subsequent vacuum breakdown is predicted by our model, which would make it possible to create a self-consistent model for that.展开更多

The Poisson-Boltzmann equation of electric double layer, the Navier-Stokes equation of liquid flow, and the liquid-solid coupled heat transfer equation are solved to investigate temperature behaviors of electroosmosis in a two-dimensional microchannel. The feedback effect of temperature variation on liquid properties (dielectric constant, vis- cosity, and thermal and electric conductivities) is taken into account. Numerical results indicate that there exists a heat developing length near the channel inlet where the flow velocity, temperature, pressure, and electric field rapidly vary and then approach to a steady state after the heat developing length, which may occupy a considerable portion of the microchannel in cases of thick chip and high electric field. The liquid temperature of steady state increases with the increase of the applied electric field, channel width, and chip thickness. The temperature on a PDMS wall is higher than that on a glass wall due to the difference of heat conductivities of materials. Temperature variations are found in the both longitudinal and transverse directions of the microchannel. The increase of the temperature on the wall decreases the charge density of the electric double layer. The longitudinal temperature variation induces a pressure gradient and changes the behavior of the electric field in the microchannel. The inflow liquid temperature does not change the liquid temperature of steady state and the heat developing length.展开更多

An accurate analytical expression is proposed for the electrical field and the temperature distributions due to Joule heating are numerically obtained from the energy balance equation. The results show that a thermal design based on the average electric potential difference between electrodes can cause severe underestimation of Joule heating. In addition, the parame- tric study of thermal boundary conditions gives us an insight into the best cooling scenario for microfluidic devices. Other significant thermal characteristics, including Nusselt number, thermophoretic force, and entropy generation, are discussed as well. This study will provide useful information for the optimization of a bioMEMS device in relation to the thermal aspect.展开更多

文摘The demand for lightweight,thin electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding film materials with high shielding effectiveness(SE),excellent mechanical properties,and stability in complex environments is particularly pronounced in the realm of flexible and portable electronic products.Here,we developed an ultra-thin film(CNT@GC)in which the glassy carbon(GC)layer wrapped around and welded carbon nanotubes(CNTs)to form a core-shell network structure,leading to exceptional tensile strength(327.2 MPa)and electrical conductivity(2.87×10^(5) S·m^(−1)).The CNT@GC film achieved EMI SE of 60 dB at a thickness of 2µm after post-acid treatment and high specific SE of 3.49×10^(5) dB·cm^(2)·g^(−1),with comprehensive properties surpassing those of the majority of previous shielding materials.Additionally,the CNT@GC film exhibited Joule heating capability,reaching a surface temperature of 135℃at 3 V with a fast thermal response of about 0.5 s,enabling anti-icing/de-icing functionality.This work presented a methodology for constructing a robust CNT@GC film with high EMI shielding performance and exceptional Joule heating capability,demonstrating immense potential in wearable devices,defense,and aerospace applications.

文摘High entropy alloys(HEA)are frequently employed as catalysts in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.However,the traditional high entropy alloy synthesis methods are time-consuming,energy-intensive,and environmentally polluting,which limits their application in the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).This study leveraged the capabilities of flash Joule heating(FJH)to synthesize carbon-supported high-entropy alloy sulfide nanoparticles(CC-S-HEA)on carbon cloth(CC)with good self-standing properties within 300 ms.The carbon thermal shock generated by the Joule heating could pyrolyze the sulfur source into gas,resulting in numerous pore structures and defects on CC,forming an S-doped carbon substrate(CC-S).Then the S atoms were used to stably anchor the metal atoms on CC-S to form high-density uniformly dispersed HEA particles.The electrochemical test results demonstrated that CC-S-HEA prepared at 60 V flash voltage had HER performance comparable to Pt/C.The density functional theory(DFT)calculation indicated that the S atoms on CC-S accelerated the electron transfer between the carbon substrate and HEA particles.Moreover,the unique electronic structure of CC-S-HEA was beneficial to H*adsorption and promoted catalytic kinetics.The simplicity and versatility of FJH synthesis are of great significance for optimizing the synthesis of HEA and improving the quality of HEA products,which provides a broad application prospect for the synthesis of nanocatalysts with efficient HER performance.

文摘The development of infrared(IR)surveillance technology has led to a growing interest in thermal camouflage.However,the trade-off relationship between low IR-emissivity and thermal insulation hinders the advance of thermal camouflage materials.Herein,guided by multi-physics simulation,we show a design of asymmetric aramid nanofibers/MXene(ANF/MXene)aerogel film that realizes high-efficient thermal camouflage applications.The rationale is that the asymmetric structure contains a thermal-insulation three-dimensional(3D)network part to prevent effective heat transfer and a low IR-emissivity(~0.3)dense surface layer to suppress radiative heat emission.It is remarkable that the synergy mechanism in the topology structure contributes to over 40%reduction of target radiation temperature.Impressively,the tailored asymmetric ANF/MXene aerogel film also enables sound mechanical properties such as a Young’s modulus of 44.4 MPa and a tensile strength of 1.3 MPa,superior to most aerogel materials.It also exhibits great Joule heating performances including low driving voltage(4 V),fast thermal response(<10 s),and long-term stability,further enabling its versatile thermal camouflage applications.This work offers an innovative design concept to configure multifunctional structures for next-generation thermal management applications.

文摘Although MXene sheets possess high electrical conductivity and rich surface chemistry and are well suit-able for fabricating electrically conductive nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference(EMI)shield-ing applications,it remains challenging for MXene nanocomposites to achieve tunable EMI shielding per-formances and customized geometries.Herein,an aqueous MXene/sodium alginate ink is developed to print aerogel meshes with customized geometries using a direct ink writing approach.An ion-enhanced strategy is proposed to reinforce the printed aerogel meshes by multi-level cross-linking.The resultant 3D printed aerogel mesh exhibits an ultrahigh electrical conductivity of 2.85×10^(3)S m^(−1),outstanding mechanical properties,and excellent structural stability in wet environment.More importantly,a wide range of tunable EMI shielding efficiencies from 45 to 100 dB is achieved by the structural design of the 3D printed ion-enhanced MXene/sodium alginate aerogel meshes.As a Joule heater,in addition,the printed aerogel meshes can achieve a wide temperature range of 40-135℃at low driving voltages.This work demonstrates a direct ink writing approach for the fabrication of ion-enhanced MXene/sodium al-ginate aerogel meshes with tunable EMI shielding properties and multi-functionalities for applications in many scenarios.

文摘Multifunctional,wearable,and durable textiles integrated with smart electronics have attracted tremendous attention.However,it remains a great challenge to balance new functionalities with high-temperature stability.Herein,textile-based pressure sensors with excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding,Joule heating,and high-temperature resistance were fabricated by constructing graphene/SiC(G/SiC)heterostructures on carbon cloth via laser chemical vapor deposition(LCVD).The resultant textiles exhibited excellent EMI efficiency of 74.2 dB with a thickness of 0.45 mm,Joule heating performance within a low working voltage(V)range of 1-3 V,and fast response time within 20 s.These properties arose from multiple reflections,interfacial polarization,and high conductivity due to the numerous amounts of nanoscale G/SiC heterostructures.More importantly,G/SiC/carbon fibers(CFs)demonstrated well high-temperature resistance with a heat resistance index(THri)of 380.2 C owing to the protection of a coating layer on the CFs upon oxidation.Meanwhile,the G/SiC/CFs presented good pressure-sensing performance with high sensitivity(S)of 52.93 kPal,fast response time of 85 ms,and a wide pressure range of up to 186 kPa.These features imply the potential of the G/SiC/CFs as efficient EMI shielding,electrical heater,and piezoresistive sensor textiles.

文摘In this article,heat and mass transfer with Joule heating on magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)peristaltic blood under the influence of Hall effect is examined.Mathematical modelling is based on momentum,energy and concentration which are taken into account using ohms law.The governing partial differential equations are further simplified by neglecting the inertial forces and long wavelength approximations.Exact solutions have been presented for velocity,temperature and concentration profile.The influence of all the physical pertinent parameters is taken into account with the help graphs.It is found that Hartmann number and Hall parameter shows opposite behaviour on velocity,temperature and concentration profile.It is worth mentioning that pressure rise also depicts opposite behaviour for Hartmann number and Hall parameter.The present analysis is also presented for Newtonian fluid(α→0)as a special case for our study.It is observed that Hall Effect and magnetic field shows opposite behaviour on velocity and temperature profile.Temperature profile increases due to the increment in Prandtl number and Eckert number.Numerical comparison is also presented between the existing published results by takingα=0;M=0 as a special case of our study.

文摘Joule heating effects on a slit microcharmel filled with electrolytes are comprehensively investigated with emphasis on the thermal boundary conditions. An accurate analytical expression is proposed for the electrical field and the temperature distributions due to Joule heating are numerically obtained from the energy balance equation. The results show that a thermal design based on the average electric potential difference between electrodes can cause severe underestimation of Joule heating. In addition, the parame- tric study of thermal boundary conditions gives us an insight into the best cooling scenario for microfluidic devices. Other significant thermal characteristics, including Nusselt number, thermophoretic force, and entropy generation, are discussed as well. This study will provide useful information for the optimization of a bioMEMS device in relation to the thermal aspect.
文摘In this article,we have presented the exact solutions of the Couette,Poiseuille and generalized Couette flows of an incompressible magnetohydrodynamic Jeffrey fluid between parallel plates through homogeneous porous medium.The effects of slip boundary conditions and heat transfer are considered.Viscous dissipation,radiation and Joule heating are also considered in the energy equation.The governing equations of the Jeffrey fluid flow are modeled in Cartesian coordinate system.Analytical solutions for the velocity and temperature the velocity and temperature profiles are studied and the results are presented through graphs.It Temperature behaves as a decreasing function due to the impact of Hartmann number,non-Newtonian parameter and slip parameter in all noted problems.
文摘The impact of Joule heating due to electric double layer(EDL)and viscous dissipation on electroosmotic mixed convection flow in a vertical microchannel with asymmetric heat fluxes is established in this article.The Poisson-Boltzmann,momentum and energy equations representing the electric potential,velocity profile and temperature distribution in the microchannel are obtained in dimensionless forms.Using the Debye-Hückel linearization,exact solutions are obtained for electric potential,velocity profile and temperature distributions by method of undetermined coefficients in the absence of viscous dissipation and Joule heating while an inbuilt Matlab function called pdepe is employed to solve the coupled nonlinear momentum and energy equations in the presence of Joule heating and viscous dissipation.Results show that the presence of Joule heating and viscous dissipation lead to decrease in velocity profile and temperature distributions throughout the microchannel.

文摘Entropy generation is the loss of energy in thermodynamical systems due to resistive forces,diffusion processes,radiation effects and chemical reactions.The main aim of this research is to address entropy generation due to magnetic field,nonlinear thermal radiation,viscous dissipation,thermal diffusion and nonlinear chemical reaction in the transport of viscoelastic fluid in the vicinity of a stagnation point over a lubricated disk.The conservation laws of mass and momentum along with the first law of thermodynamics and Fick’s law are used to discuss the flow,heat and mass transfer,while the second law of thermodynamics is used to analyze the entropy and irreversibility.The numbers of independent variables in the modeled set of nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced using similarity variables and the resulting system is numerically approximated using the Keller box method.The effects of thermophoresis,Brownian motion and the magnetic parameter on temperature are presented for lubricated and rough disks.The local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are documented for both linear and nonlinear thermal radiation and lubricated and rough disks.Graphical representations of the entropy generation number and Bejan number for various parameters are also shown for lubricated and rough disks.The concentration of nanoparticles at the lubricated surface reduces with the magnetic parameter and Brownian motion.The entropy generation declines for thermophoresis diffusion and Brownian motion when lubrication effects are dominant.It is concluded that both entropy generation and the magnitude of the Bejan number increase in the presence of slip.The current results present many applications in the lubrication phenomenon,heating processes,cooling of devices,thermal engineering,energy production,extrusion processes etc.

文摘This manuscript presents a study of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell nanofluid flow across a slendering stretched surface with Joule heating.The impact of binary chemical reactions,heat generation,thermal radiation,and thermophoretic effect is also taken into consideration.The multiple slip boundary conditions are utilized at the boundary of the surface.The appropriate similarity variable is used to transfer the flow modeled equations into ODEs,which are numerically solved by the utilization of the MATLAB bvp4c algorithm.The involved parameter's impact on the concentration,velocity,and temperature distribution are scrutinized with graphs.The transport rates(mass,heat)are also investigated using the same variables,with the results reported in tabulated form.It is seen that the fluid relaxation,magnetic,and wall thickness characteristics diminish the velocities of fluid.Further,the velocity,concentration,and temperature slip parameters reduce the velocities of fluid,temperature,and concentration distribution.The results are compared to existing studies and shown to be in dependable agreement.

文摘Herein,we develop a transient heating-quenching strategy triggered by Joule heating for the synthesis of single-atom cobalt-and nitrogen-doped graphene materials with three-dimensional porous monolithic architecture(denoted as CoNG-JH).The ultrafast Joule heating procedure simultaneously enables the reduction of graphene oxide and the incorporation of metal and nitrogen atoms into the graphene matrix within 2-second period.Meanwhile,the transient quenching avoids the extended heating-induced atom aggregation,ensuring the rapid and stable dispersion of atomic-scale CoNx active sites in graphene.Additionally,the interconnected macropores and nanopores formed by the self-assembly of graphene sheets facilitate the unimpeded ion and gas transport during the catalytic process.When used as an electrode for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER),the fabricated free-standing CoNG-JH exhibits high catalytic activity and durability with a low overpotential of 106 mV at 10 mA·cm^(-2) and a small Tafel slope of 66 mV·dec^(-1) in 0.5 M H_(2)SO_(4) electrolyte.The presented synthesis and design strategy open up a rapid and facile route for the manufacturing of single atom catalysts.
