Influence of Natural Convection on Design of Thermal Diodes
Abstract
Thermal diode, analogous to the electrical diode, is an emerging field of interest due to its potential application in thermal management, thermal shielding, and thermal circuits. Application of Phase Change Material (PCM) is among the different approaches proposed and analyzed to achieve high thermal rectification. However, these studies often limit the analysis to conduction heat transfer and neglect advection. In the present study, the …
