[19p-C304-4] Thermal Transport in Polymer Liquids and Soft Matter, and Its Application to Reduction of Thermal Resistance at Solid Contact
Keywords:molecular dynamics, heat conduction, liquids
Thermophysical properties of liquids has been important in thermal engineering as characteristics of working fluids for thermal equipments. In these days, the application is not limited to bulk liquids; soft matters and interfaces for example are being analyzed as new targets. Moreover, the concept of material design that enables production of materials best fitted to the individual engineering needs extends into fluids. These trends make it important to clarify molecular-scale mechanisms that determines thermophysical properties of liquids. Some studies of the authors concerning this subject are descibed in the present report.
