Inhaltsangabe

Many phenomena in social, natural and engineering fields are governed by wave, potential, parabolic heat-conduction, hyperbolic heat-conduction and dual-phase-lagging heat-conduction equations. These equations are not only appropriate for describing heat conduction at various scales, but also the most important mathematical equations in physics. The focus of the present monograph is on these equations: their solution structures, methods of finding their solutions under various supplementary conditions, as well as the physical implication and applications of their solutions.

Therefore, the present monograph can serve as a reference for researchers working on heat conduction of macro- and micro-scales as well as on mathematical methods of physics. It can also serve as a text for graduate courses on heat conduction or on mathematical equations in physics.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Pingan Zhu received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2017 and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2013. He is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. His research interests include microfluidics, fluid dynamics, surface wettability, micro/nanorobots, and biomimetics. Dr. Zhu has developed a versatile microfluidic platform for engineering fluid templates into solid materials with tailored properties and interdisciplinary applications, which has been widely featured by local, national, and international media. He has published more than 30 papers in prestigious journals including Science, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, and Chemical Reviews. His work has been recognized by a number of awards, such as the 2018 TechConnect Global Innovation Award, the honorable mention of the 2017Hong Kong Young Scientist Award, and the 2016-2017 HKU Mechanical Engineering Outstanding Thesis Award. Prof. Liqiu Wang received his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta, Canada, and is currently a chair professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Programme at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). He also serves as the Director and the Chief Scientist for the Laboratory for Nanofluids and Thermal Engineering at the Zhejiang Institute of Research and Innovation (HKU-ZIRI), the University of Hong Kong. Prof. Wang has 25 years of HKU experience in transport phenomena, materials, nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy and environment, thermal and power engineering, and mathematics, and ~2 years of industry experience in technology and IP development, management, and transfer as a Chief Scientist and Global CTO. In addition to 11 scholarly monographs/books, five book chapters, 78 keynote lectures at international conferences, and over 170 invited lectures in universities/industries/organizations, Prof. Wang has published over 250 papers in various prestigious journals including Chemical Reviews, Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Materials Today, Advanced Materials, Physics Reports, Nature Communications, Science Advances, PNAS, and Physical Review Letters, many of which have been widely used by researchers all over the world. Prof. Wang has also filed 38 patents and software copyrights, and developed, with an international team consisting of about 100 scientists and engineers, a state-of-the-art thermal control system for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station that ensures AMS and all its sub-detectors working at their designed temperatures ± 1 ¿ for an environment temperature variation from -40 ¿ to 60 ¿ every 90 minutes. His work has been widely featured by local, national, and international media, journals, and magazines, and received recognition through a number of awards, including the 2021 Gold Medal of International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, the 2018 TechConnect Global Innovation Award, the 2018 Silver Medal of International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, the 2017 OSA Innovation Award, and the 2016 First Outstanding Achievement Award of Hangzhou Oversea Scholars, among others.
