“…The Fourier law, which states that heat is transferred by diffusion process alone, cannot account for the transient heat transfer in situations such as extremely short time duration, very low temperature, and extremely large heat flux. Hence, there has been a growing interest in discovering new heat transfer models [7] as well as applying existing non-Fourier models to physical problems [2,13,24]. Most recent examples include but not limited to the application of non-Fourier heat transfer to study laser-induced thermal damage in biological tissues with nonhomogeneous inner structures [24], to investigate the critical energy characteristics of cooled composite superconductor [2], and to examine the physical anomalies during the transient heat transfer process under the dual-phase-lag model [13].…”
