Transformation Thermotics for Thermal Conduction, Convection and Radiation

Abstract

In Chaps. 2, 3 and 4, we have investigated the transformation of thermal conduction, convection, and radiation. In fact, in our model of transforming thermal convection or radiation, thermal conduction has also been considered; see Chaps. 3 and 4. However, we have not considered the most general case of heat transfer consisting of conduction, convection and radiation together. Here we integrate the relevant content of the previous chapters and give a comprehensive framework of transforming heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation). In this case, a thermal cloak is also designed as an application.
