Abstract Physical and mathematical models are the key to analyze thermal behavior of charring materials in the thermal protection system of reentry vehicles subjected to aerodynamic heating. To explore the thermal behavior of charring ablator, we developed and compared two models (pyrolysis interface model and pyrolysis layer model) with pyrolysis and surface recession. Taking AVCOAT composites as an example, its nonlinear thermal behavior, which are caused by temperature dependent thermal properties, moving interfaces and moving boundary, were simulated using the calculation codes written respectively on the basis of the pyrolysis layer model and the pyrolysis interface More >

Abstract Due to the strong demand of electronic products with light-weight, flexibility and portability and rollability from consumers, the development of flexible electronics with flexible interconnects is presently underway. Flexible electronics is a technology that extends electronics devices beyond the rigid form factor. It is highly recognized that it can bring a very vigorous drive toward the new flourish of economic growth in the electronics industry.
In the study, a flexible interconnect technology based on an ultra thin chip and a very thin flexible polyimide (PI) circuited substrate is developed, as shown in Fig. 1. The… More >

Abstract The transient thermal behavior of a two-dimensional circulating porous bed is analytically investigated. A one-energy equation model, representing both the gas and solid phases via a unified temperature, is employed to describe the thermal behavior of the circulating bed. The latter is essentially a tube and shell heat exchanger commonly used in technologically important applications. The model equation is transformed into a simpler set of partial differential equations using an analytical procedure. The analytical solution, based on the method of separation of variables and the principle of superposition, is formulated for the calculation of the More >
