Abstract
New results of steady-state two-dimensional finite-element computations of temperature distributions of high power semiconductor laser arrays are presented. The influence of different thermal loads on the 2D temperature distribution in AlGaAs/GaAs gain-guided laser arrays is investigated. TheFEM model is tested by comparing it with analytical solutions. For numerical convenience, the latter is rewritten in a novel form, which is free of overflow problems. The maximum temperatures calculated by both methods agree within 1%. Several factors determining the thermal resistance of the device are quantitatively examined: the ratio of light emitting to non-emitting areas along the active zone, the amount of Joule losses, the current spreading, the solder thickness, and voids in the solder. This yields design rules for optimum thermal performance.
Negative thermal expansion materials
Thermal properties and implications for composite materials
Abstract
Finite element analysis is used to explore composites of negative thermal expansion materials with positive thermal expansion materials (ZrW2O8 in Cu and ZrO2 in ZrW2O8) and evaluate how thermal and mechanical properties, rates of cooling/heating, and geometry and packing fraction influence the overall expansion and thermal stress. During rapid temperature changes, the transient short-time thermal expansion can be considerably larger than the steady-state value. Furthermore, thermal stress in the composite can be large, especially at the interface between the materials, and can exceed the material strength.
Heat transfer modelling in a polymer sample located in a microwave field
II. Transient state
Abstract
This work presents the modelling of heat transfer in a polymer sample submitted to a microwave field in the quartz column of a dilatometer surrounded by vacuum to avoid convection. The temperature rise is studied in transient state by the finite element method. It is assumed that a uniform and constant heat production is maintained in the entire volume of the sample. It is shown that it is possible to design the set composed of the sample and of the column to achieve a nearly uniform temperature in the whole volume of the sample while its temperature is raised from 20 to 250°C at a heating rate of 5 deg·min−1.
