Our research project is devoted to derive and analyze models of nonlocal heat transfer at nanoscale in rigid bodies. The interaction's mechanism between the heat carriers and the lateral walls will be considered. Such interactions strongly influence the choice of boundary conditions. The well posedness of the deduced Cauchy problem will be investigated and, if possible, the explicit analytic expr

Our research project is devoted to derive a model of nonlocal heat transfer at nanoscale in rigid bodies. In particular, the interactionâ¿¿s mechanism between the heat carriers and the lateral walls will be considered and so, consequently, different strategies for the setting of the boundary conditions. For the proposed model different aspect will be analyzed: the well position of the problem, the p

In the present research project we aim at deriving a brand new nonlinear and nonlocal thermodynamical model of heat transfer at nanoscale beyond the well-known Maxwell-Cattaneo theory. As a first step in this research, the compatibility of the proposed model with second law of thermodynamic will be proved in order to be sure that our model agrees with the basic tenets of continuum mechanics. Then
