I’m interested in the general case which a generic material (the adhesive) with thermal conductivity k, on substrates with different thermal conductivities. I’m interested in formulating some equations to show how the rate of cooling is effected by bead size abs substrate conductivity.
I am interested in the heat transfer from an adhesive bead. The bead is applied hot, and cools due to conduction into the substrate and convection into the ambient. The adhesive bead shape is a half cylinder (see attached figure). I am interested in understanding how the thermal conductivity of...
