The temperature stays the same when a solid is melting or a liquid is boiling during a change of state, even though heat energy is being absorbed. The specific latent heat of a substance is a ...

Traditional heat conduction relies primarily on acoustic phonons ... To interpret the data, the researchers applied a transfer matrix method (TMM) to model the thermoreflectance response. They focused ...

The classical heat transfer theory does not account for the high speed at which our newer surface removes condensates," said Monga, the paper's lead author. "In the new model, we included ...
