Nonlocal heat conduction in single‐walled carbon nanotubes

Abstract

This paper explores how reinforcing the hyperbolic heat conduction by the nonlocality affects temperature distribution in nanostructures such as nanobeam and single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The work dissects the nonlocal heat conduction by advocating a thoroughly new application of the differential quadrature method. The nanobeam is modeled like a SWCNT (cylindrical shell), and the boundaries on the inner and outer sides are considered under a temperature jump at the nanoscale. The effects of several parameters on the temperature distribution through the thickness of the nanobeam are highlighted, including time‐dependent boundary conditions, time lag, nonlocal parameter, length, and radius of the hollow beam.
