Abstract:
The heat transfer through nanoscale confined fluids under transversal temperature gradients are investigated by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. Due to the asymmetric adsorption on the heterogeneous structure, the thermal accommodation coefficients and the fluid pressure for the forward and backward directions are found to be different with each other, which in turn results in the thermal rectification effect. By increasing the discrepancy between the left and right solid-fluid interface parameters, the thermal rectification effect can be enhanced. © 2020, Science Press. All right reserved.
