Reshaping Metal Conductors: Investigating How a Single Bend Can Enhance Temperature Diffusion

Reshaping a rectangular metal conductor into an L-shape, while maintaining its original area and perimeter, significantly alters its temperature diffusion. Our experimental investigation involves placing a local RTD probe at the end tip of various conductor geometries to explore the influence of the L-bend on temperature diffusion. Numerical studies support our experimental findings, revealing noteworthy global changes in the conductor's temperature distribution. Additionally, through a perturbation analysis, we gain valuable insights into the underlying reasons behind this phenomenon. This research sheds light on an effective method to control thermal behavior in metal conductors, with potential implications in controlling heat exchange in electronics applications.
