A First-Order Parametric Model of Steady-State Heat Transfer Through Layered Materials
Abstract
A parametric model of steady-state heat transfer through layered materials is examined. This model is formally based on a first-order approximation of the solution to advection-diffusion equation, which includes the effects of multiple layers with varying thermal diffusivities, interface effects (e.g., large changes in thermal properties), contact resistance, and the effects of singular heat-sinks that are represented by negative heat sources. This model provides parametric representations of temperature distributions within layered-material systems, which can be utilized for their design and optimization for layer-configuration, including heat-sink control of thermal transport. Results of prototypemodeling of controlled heat transfer in layered-material systems are presented and validated, demonstrating general aspects of the parametricmodel for thermal analysis and simulation of heat-transfer control using layer configurations and embedded heat sinks.
