NEAR-FIELD RADIATIVE HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN TWO QUARTZ PLATES
Аннотация
With the increasing demand in energy use, new energy harvesting methods and prominent technologies have received significant attention. In this regard, near-field radiation is a newly developed efficient heat transfer mechanism to enhance heat transfer in various energy technologies. Much effort has been devoted to understanding the underlying mechanism of near-field radiation. The existing studies in literature extensively describe theories behind the near-field radiative transfer between two surfaces. In this work, we investigate in details contributing factor to the near field radiative transfer, including surface-phonon polaritons and evanescent waves, thus providing a comprehensive description of the near-field radiative transfer. Limited experimental studies have been put forth so far, however a sufficiently accurate experiment confirming the theory still needs to be developed to determine radiative heat transfer between two flat plates. Experiments are underway to validate the theoretical predictions.
