AbstractThe concept of “thermal inductance” expands the options of thermal circuits design. However, the inductive component is the only missing components in thermal circuits unlike their electromagnetic counterparts. Herein, we report an electrically controllable reverse heat flow, in which heat flows from a low-temperature side to a high-temperature side locally and temporarily in a single material by imposing thermal inertia and ac current. This effect can be regarded as an equivalent of the “thermoinductive” effect induced by the Peltier effect. We derive the exact solution indicating that this reverse heat flow occurs universally in solid-state systems, and that it is considerably enhanced by thermoelectric properties. A local cooling of 25 mK is demonstrated in (Bi,Sb)2Te3, which is explained by our exact solution. This effect can be directly applicable to the potential fabrication of “thermoinductor” in thermal circuits.

Abstract The inductive component is the only missing components in thermal circuits unlike their electromagnetic counterparts. Herein, we report an electrically controllable reverse heat flow, which can be regarded as a proper equivalent of the “thermoinductive” effect. The underlying concept is the heating and cooling of the ends of the material by the Peltier effect under an applied ac current; this form a negative temperature gradient in the opposite direction in a controllable manner. We have derived the exact solution indicating that this reverse heat flow occurs universally in solid-state systems, even in conventional metallic Cu, and that it is considerably enhanced by thermoelectric properties (i.e., a large Seebeck coefficient and low thermal conductivity). A local cooling of 25 mK was demonstrated in (Bi,Sb)2Te3, which was explained by our exact solution. This electrically controlled reverse heat flow is directly applicable to the fabrication of a “thermoinductor” in thermal circuits.

In a hydrogen-doped metallic glass, there appear low-temperature and high-temperature internal friction peaks respectively associated with a point-defect relaxation and the crystallization. The high-temperature-side slope of low-temperature peak and also the low-temperature-side slope of high-temperature peak enhance the background internal friction near the room temperature. A hydrogen-doped Mg-base metallic glass was proposed as a high-damping material to be used near and somewhat above the room temperature. Stability of the high damping was also checked.

AbstractAn understanding of wood’s moisture-dependent viscoelastic properties under various temperature conditions is important for assessing its utilization and product quality. In this study, we investigated the influence of moisture content (MC) on the orthotropic viscoelasticity of Chinese fir wood (Cunninghamia lanceolata [Lamb.] Hook.) during quenching ranging from 20 to −120°C. The storage modulus (E′) and loss factor (tan δ) of the longitudinal (L), radial (R) and tangential (T) specimens were determined for nine MC levels ranging from 0.6 to 60.0%. The results showed that E′ generally decreased with increasing amount of bound water in all orthotropic directions, regardless of the temperature. In contrast, a sharp increase in E′ was observed at temperatures below 0°C when free water was present, due to the formation of ice within the cell lumens. The γ-relaxation and β-relaxation were observed in the temperature spectrum. A comparison demonstrates that the β-relaxation showed evident grain orientation. When only bound water was present in the wood cell wall, one clear γ-relaxation was found for all orthotropic directions. In contrast, only the high-temperature side of the γ-relaxation was observed in the three anatomic directions in specimens with free water, which might be related to the amorphous wood cell wall coupling with the frozen free water during the quenching process. In addition, the differences in peak temperatures of the γ-relaxation among the three main directions diminished with increasing bound water.

The mode of occurrence of borosilicates and the breakdown fronts of prograde tourmaline (tourmaline-out isograd) in three anatectic migmatite regions of the Ryoke metamorphic belt, SW Japan, are reported. The breakdown of tourmaline in the migmatite zones and release of boron into the melts, followed by the extraction of the boron-bearing melts from the migmatite zones occurred throughout the Ryoke metamorphic belt. Retrograde, magmatic tourmaline in interboudin partitions filled with leucosome is useful for calculating the degree of partial melting in the migmatites. Using boron contents in the leucosomes and pelitic schists, the degree of partial melting at the migmatite front of the Aoyama area is estimated to be 12 wt.%. Extraction of the boron-bearing melt is suggested by the boron-depleted nature of the migmatites. Connection of boudinage structures probably supplied the vertical pathways of the segregated melts, and major transport of the melts was accomplished by dyking. Irregularly shaped, amoeboid tourmaline locally occurs on the high-temperature side of the tourmaline-out isograds in the Yanai and Komagane areas, implying incomplete extraction of boron-bearing melts from those areas. Discriminating retrograde from prograde tourmaline enables correct recognition of the tourmaline-out isograd. The amount of retrograde tourmaline in migmatites can potentially be used as an indicator of the degree of melt extraction from them.

Abstract Peltier effects, which produce a heat flux at the junction of two different materials, have been an important technology for heating and cooling by electrical means. Whereas Peltier devices have advantages such as cleanliness, silence, compactness, flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, relatively complicated modular structures are unavoidable, leading to a higher cost than that of commonly used refrigeration technology. Here, we provide a concept of a Peltier device composed of a single magnetic material exhibiting a first-order magnetic transition. Our concept is based on a controllable junction structure consisting of two magnetic phases with opposite Peltier coefficients instead of a semiconductor junction. Using Mn1.96Cr0.04Sb samples with the first-order magnetic transition between ferrimagnetic (FI) and antiferromagnetic (AF) states, we successfully made a stable junction structure of AF/FI/AF by a pulse heating method and achieved a maximum Peltier coefficient of 0.58 mV. Our device concept was further verified by a numerical simulation based on a finite element method. The single-material Peltier effect reported here avoids a complex device design involving material junctions and is importantly reconfigurable.

In this study, the exact transient differential equation was used to calculate the convection heat loss in a heat sink with a rectangular cross section fin. The result of the analytic solution was compared to the result from experiments conducted on a standard heat sink. The experiments were performed at a constant heat flow of 9000 W/m2 and a low airflow rate ranging from 12 to 100 cm3/s in seven steps. The comparative results showed that while there was good agreement between the experimental result and the exact solution, the average error ratio increased with an increase of the airflow rate. However, the maximum average error ratio between the experimental result and the exact solution did not exceed 6.4%. The maximum temperature distribution in the heat sink was obtained at a time of 900 s in all experiments.

The line source method of determining thermal conductivity is extended to include the transient effect associated with the fluid in flowing geothermal wells. The general equations describing transient heat flow are utilized. Approximate solutions are derived and compared to the exact solution of the general equations. The proposed method is operationally simple since the heater, and the associated problems of obtaining adequate thermal contact between the heater and the sides of the borehole are eliminated. Using this method downhole measurements were obtained and favorably compared with laboratory measurements on characterized core specimens taken from wells in a hot dry rock geothermal reservoir.

Recently Takeuchi reported a weak, 'metamagnetic-like' increase in the magnetization around 42 T in single crystals of CeIrIn 5 for field in the c-direction. We report specific heat measurements on single crystal CeIrIn 5, H parallel c-axis, measured in the dc hybrid magnet at NHMFL in Tallahassee between 1.4 and 10 K. A clear anomaly in C/T in 35 T is observed to peak at 1.8 K, with an entropy of 6% of RIn2. This anomaly grows in size and shifts upwards in temperature (both monotonically) with increasing H until at 45 T T peak =4.1 K , with the entropy associated with the transition equal to 14% of RIn2. C/T data at 32 T show3 only the high temperature side of the peak occurring above 1.4 K, while C/T data at 28.5 T show no anomaly down to 1.4 K. This is consistent with our Tpeak vs H data, which imply T peak → 0 at 26 T.
