Graphene and 2D Materials in Heat Transfer (Paperback)

Heat transfer is a major engineering challenge that has implications in several areas including space, energy, transportation, manufacturing, and medicine. Graphene and other 2D materials have outstanding thermo-physical properties. As a result, these materials are being exploited in various applications. Although several reports have been published on fundamental heat transfer aspects of such materials, the topic remains challenging to understand for many who are new to it. Graphene and 2D Materials in Heat Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications aims to provide readers with the most recent information on the synthesis and applications of graphene in heat transfer. Furthermore, mechanical and thermal properties of 2D materials, solid-liquid interface phonon transfer at the molecular level, methods and observations of transport phenomena in nano-micro domains will be addressed. The book also offers detailed coverage of the emerging applications of 2D nanofluids and nanolubricants as alternatives to conventional heat transfer fluids The book explores applications in microchannel heat sinks, micro heat exchangers, and micro heat pipes, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for heat transport problems related to 2D materials and applications. In addition, convective heat transfer approaches for 2D materials and nanocomposites are also addressed. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about how graphene and other classes of 2D materials are being used as heat transfer agents.

• Provides readers with a single information source to learn about how graphene and other 2D materials are being used as heat transfer agents
• Explains why the properties of graphene make this an effective materials for heat transfer
• Outlines the major challenges of using graphene as a heat transfer agent
