Transient Thermal Response

AbstractThe non-spherical symmetric and exact thermal evolution model is used to calculate the transient thermal response to pulsar glitches. The three ways of energy release originated from glitches, namely the ‘shell’, ‘ring’ and ‘spot’ cases are compared. The ‘ring’ case is always the middle one in terms of the response time, the response duration and the intensity of the response. Taking the relativistic light bending effect and the rotational effect into consideration, the X-ray light curves resulting from the thermal response to the glitches are calculated. Only the ‘spot’ case produces modulative X-rays. Different sets of parameters result in different evolution patterns of light curves. This is thus a good method to determine the equations of state for pulsars.

Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations of phonon transport are performed in one-dimensional (1D) and 2D computational models of a silicon-on-insulator transistor, in order to investigate its transient thermal response under Joule heating conditions, which cause a nonequilibrium region of high temperature known as a hotspot. Predictions from Fourier diffusion are compared to those from a gray LBM based on the Debye assumption, and from a dispersion LBM which incorporates nonlinear dispersion for all phonon branches, including explicit treatment of optical phonons without simplifying assumptions. The simulations cover the effects of hotspot size and heat pulse duration, considering a frequency-dependent heat source term. Results indicate that, for both models, a transition from a Fourier diffusion regime to a ballistic phonon transport regime occurs as the hotspot size is decreased to tens of nanometers. The transition is characterized by the appearance of boundary effects, as well as by the propagation of thermal energy in the form of multiple, superimposed phonon waves. Additionally, hotspot peak temperature levels predicted by the dispersion LBM are found to be higher than those from Fourier diffusion predictions, displaying a nonlinear relation to hotspot size, for a given, fixed, domain size.

Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) promises to deliver higher storage areal density than the current perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) product. A laser is introduced to the HAMR system to heat the high coercively magnetic media above the Curie temperature (Tc) which is as high as 750 K in order to enable magnetic writing. The thermal response of the media becomes very critical for the success of the data writing process. In this paper, a new method is proposed to understand the transient thermal behavior of the HAMR media. The temperature response of the media is measured based on thermal erasure of the magnetically written signal. A lumped model is built to simplify the heat conduction problem to understand the transient thermal response. Finite element modeling (FEM) is implemented to simulate the transient thermal response of the media due to the laser pulse heating. The experimental and simulation results show fairly good agreement.

A number of past papers have described experimental techniques for measurement of thermal conductivity of substrates and thin films of technological interest. Nearly all substrates measured in the past are rigid. There is a lack of papers that report measurements on a flexible substrate such as thin plastic. The paper presents an experimental methodology to deposit a thin film microheater device on a plastic substrate. This device, comprising a microheater line and a temperature sensor line is used to measure the thermal conductivity of the plastic substrate using the transient thermal response of the plastic substrate to a heating current. An analytical model describing this thermal response is presented. Thermal conductivity of the plastic substrate is determined by comparison of experimental data with the analytical model. Results described in this paper may aid in development of an understanding of thermal transport in flexible substrates.

Multi-domain electro-thermal-optical models of LEDs are required so that their thermal and optical behavior may be predicted during a luminaire design process. Today, no standardized approach exists for the extraction of such models. Therefore, models are not readily provided by LED suppliers to end-users. This results in designers of LED-based luminaires wasting time on LED characterization and ad hoc model extraction themselves. The Delphi4LED project aims to address these deficiencies by identifying standardizable methodologies to extract both electro-optical and thermal compact models of LEDs that together can be used in a multi-domain simulation context. This article describes a methodology to extract compact thermal models of LEDs that are dynamic, in that they accommodate transient thermal effects, and are boundary condition-independent, in that their accuracy is independent of their thermal operating environment. Such models are achieved by first proposing an equivalent thermal nodal network topology. The thermal resistances and capacitances of that network are identified by means of optimization so that the transient thermal response of the network matches that of either an equivalent calibrated 3D thermal model or a transient thermal measurement of a physical sample. The accuracy of the thermal network is then verified by comparing the thermal compact model with a 3D detailed model, which predicts thermal responses within a 3D system-level model.

ABSTRACT We present X-ray observations of novae V2491 Cyg and KT Eri about 9 yr post-outburst of the dwarf nova and post-nova candidate EY Cyg, and of a VY Scl variable. The first three objects were observed with XMM–Newton, KT Eri also with the Chandra ACIS-S camera, V794 Aql with the Chandra ACIS-S camera and High Energy Transmission Gratings. The two recent novae, similar in outburst amplitude and light curve, appear very different at quiescence. Assuming half of the gravitational energy is irradiated in X-rays, V2491 Cyg is accreting at $\dot{m}=1.4\times 10^{-9}{\!-\!}10^{-8}\,{\rm M}_\odot \,{\rm yr}^{-1}$, while for KT Eri, $\dot{m}\lt 2\times 10^{-10}{\rm M}_\odot \,{\rm yr}$. V2491 Cyg shows signatures of a magnetized WD, specifically of an intermediate polar. A periodicity of  39 min, detected in outburst, was still measured and is likely due to WD rotation. EY Cyg is accreting at $\dot{m}\sim 1.8\times 10^{-11}{\rm M}_\odot \,{\rm yr}^{-1}$, one magnitude lower than KT Eri, consistently with its U Gem outburst behaviour and its quiescent UV flux. The X-rays are modulated with the orbital period, despite the system’s low inclination, probably due to the X-ray flux of the secondary. A period of  81 min is also detected, suggesting that it may also be an intermediate polar. V794 Aql had low X-ray luminosity during an optically high state, about the same level as in a recent optically low state. Thus, we find no clear correlation between optical and X-ray luminosity: the accretion rate seems unstable and variable. The very hard X-ray spectrum indicates a massive WD.
