Special session on Thermal control devices and thermal circuitsIn recent years, intensive studies on thermal control devices have been conducted for the thermal management of electronics as well as for applications in energy conversion, chemistry, sensors, buildings, and even outer space. Conventional cooling or heating techniques that use traditional thermal resistors and capacitors cannot meet the thermal requirements of advanced systems.
Therefore, new thermal control devices are being investigated to satisfy these requirements. These devices include thermal diodes, thermal switches, thermal regulators, and thermal transistors, all of which manage heat in a manner analogous to how electronic devices and circuits control electricity. To design or apply these novel devices as well as thermal control principles, fluidic, mechanical and solid-state thermal control devices are under consideration and are being developed for various applications for different size scales and temperature ranges. Apart from thermal management, the thermal control devices can form different thermal control circuits, among which it worth to mention also the thermal logic.The conference session will have an ecosystem of interdisciplinary speakers at different levels, from fundamental to system level:• theoretical analysis of materials & devices with both nonlinear and other advanced thermal transport, i.e. nano- & micro-scale heat transport,• experimental demonstration of advanced thermal control devices, and,• novel advanced thermal management approaches,• thermal control circuits.
