Effect of Characteristic Size on the Effective Thermal Conductivity of Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) Porous Thin Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the surface morphology, a model is presented to investigate the heat transfer in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) porous thin films. The extra thermal resistance from the micropores will inevitably cause a change in thermal properties, which can be analyzed by the Fourier law. The effect of the characteristic size on the thermal conductivity is discussed in details by means of the theory of phenomenological model of phonon scattering. Considering the effects of porosity and the distribution of micropores reflected by parameter D, the function of the effective thermal conductivity of AAO porous thin films expressed by two independent variables, εp and D. The temperature field is simulated with the effective thermal conductivity and the result demonstrates a bigger temperature rise in AAO porous thin films.
