Thermal diffusivity is a material physical property important in all problems involving non-steady state heat transfer calculations, being a decisive parameter in the response of materials subjected to thermal shock. In this work it is presented a fundamental study related to how the phase transitions may influence the thermal diffusivity behaviour as a function of temperature in the phase transforming SiO2. The experimental technique employed was the flash thermal diffusivity technique, and measurements were carried out from 100 ºC up to approximately 1200 ºC. It was found a strong dependence on the thermal diffusivity with the high and low temperature forms of the quartz and cristobalite phases.

The heat sink with vertically rectangular interrupted fins was investigated numerically in a natural convection field, with steady-state heat transfer. A numerical study has been conducted using ANSYS Fluent software (R16.1) in order to develop a 3-D numerical model.  The dimensions of the fins are (305 mm length, 100 mm width, 17 mm height, and 9.5 mm space between fins. The number of fins used on the surface is eight. In this study, the heat input was used as follows: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 watts. This study focused on interrupted rectangular fins with a different arrangement and angle of the fins. Results show that the addition of interruption in fins in various arrangements will improve the thermal performance of the heat sink, and through the results, a better interruption rate as an equation can be obtained.

In this paper, we present a new approach to model the steady-state heat transfer in heterogeneous materials. The multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) is improved and used to solve this problem. MsFEM is a fast and flexible method for upscaling. Its numerical efficiency is based on the natural parallelization of the main computations and their further simplifications due to the numerical nature of the problem. The approach does not require the distinct separation of scales, which makes its applicability to the numerical modeling of the composites very broad. Our novelty relies on modifications to the standard higher-order shape functions, which are then applied to the steady-state heat transfer problem. To the best of our knowledge, MsFEM (based on the special shape function assessment) has not been previously used for an approximation order higher than p = 2, with the hierarchical shape functions applied and non-periodic domains, in this problem. Some numerical results are presented and compared with the standard direct finite-element solutions. The first test shows the performance of higher-order MsFEM for the asphalt concrete sample which is subject to heating. The second test is the challenging problem of metal foam analysis. The thermal conductivity of air and aluminum differ by several orders of magnitude, which is typically very difficult for the upscaling methods. A very good agreement between our upscaled and reference results was observed, together with a significant reduction in the number of degrees of freedom. The error analysis and the p-convergence of the method are also presented. The latter is studied in terms of both the number of degrees of freedom and the computational time.

In order to improve the pipe dissipating area, a kind of new pipe with grid plate is proposed in this paper. Based on the basic principle of heat transfer and energy conservation law, by finite element software ANSYS the simulation analysis of the steady-state heat transfer of the new pipeline is carried out, process of ANSYS modeling, loading and solving is introduced in detail, the distribution of temperature and stress for pipe with a grid plate is given, these can provide the foundation for the selection of the optimal diameter of the grid plate and transient heat transfer analysis of pipe.
