Abstract:
Within the framework of heat conduction by the Fourier's law, one is able to observe thermal rectification phenomenon in a two-segment bar with segments that have different temperature dependences. However, the interface thermal resistance between these two segments has been neglected in the previous studies. In the present work, an interface thermal resistance has been introduced into the thermal rectification model, and its influence on the thermal rectification effect is investigated by numerical method. It is found that the thermal rectification ratio could be enhanced by week interface thermal resistance, while high interface thermal resistance suppresses the heat conduction and reduce the thermal rectification ratio. © 2016, Science Press.
