Heat Transfer Due to Thermoelastic Wave Propagation in a Porous Rod

This paper investigates the propagation of thermoelastic waves in a homogeneous, linear, and isotropic porous solid. For physical and mathematical simplicity, one-dimensional wave propagation in a porous solid rod is considered to explain the concept of heat transfer caused by motion. The solutions of governing equations show that the transfer of heat in a porous rod is not only due to the conduction but also produced by the local particle displacement phenomenon. It is observed that the time-averaged transfer of heat depends on the circular frequency, porosity, thermal conductivity, thermal relaxation, specific heat, and other material coefficients.

The Effect of a Hyperbolic Two-Temperature Model with and without Energy Dissipation in a Semiconductor Material

In this work, the new model of photothermal and elastic waves, with and without energy dissipation, under a hyperbolic two-temperature model, is used to compute the displacement, carrier density, thermodynamic temperature, conductive temperature and stress in a semiconductor medium. The medium is considered in the presence of the coupling of plasma and thermoelastic waves. To get the complete analytical expressions of the main physical fields, Laplace transforms and the eigenvalue scheme are used. The outcomes are presented graphically to display the differences between the classical two-temperature theory and the new hyperbolic two-temperature theory, with and without energy dissipation. Based on the numerical results, the hyperbolic two-temperature thermoelastic theory offers a finite speed of mechanical waves and propagation of thermal waves.
