Abstract:
The paper presents results obtained in the framework of mass and heat transfer studies carried out in two limiting cases corresponding to a small and anomalously large value of the pulse power. These condition correspond to the high energy excitations of the crystal lattice. In the case of a large pulse power, Fick's law are unable to describe kinetic processes. The data on structural changes in the metal, characteristic of the pulsed thermal exposure caused by a giant laser pulse in the Q-switched mode, are presented. Experimental results establish that under conditions of high-speed metal deformation both accelerated transfer processes-mass and heat-share a common nature. An additional contribution to heat transfer is considered as energy transfer by a directed flow of edge dislocations. The estimates of energy transferred by dislocations, obtained using the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) equation, corresponded well to the results of the laser flash method experiments. A mass transfer is studied both the fixation of the final static concentration of the transported atoms and through the results of thermophysical studies. The Peierls stress was calculated.

Mechanisms of Heat Transfer
Conduction, accounting for approximately 3% of body heat loss at rest, is the process of exchanging heat between molecules of two materials in direct contact. This can result in both heat loss and gain. For instance, when the body is submerged in water, which conducts heat 20 times more effectively than air, it can either lose or gain significant...
