Heat shield reduces water loss.

Problems of body heat loss in water immersion.

Evaporative water loss from rats in the heat.

1968.-In rats in the heat water lost through saliva is the major component of evaporative water loss. Total evaporative water loss was measured from normal and desalivated rats and salivary evaporative water loss was then estimated as the difference in evaporation between normal and desalivated rats. Above 32 C the salivary evaporation gradually increased up to 44 C which was the highest experi...

Investigation of Heat Loss in Ethanol-Water Distillation Column with Direct Vapour Recompression Heat Pump

Vapour recompression system has been used to enhance reduction in energy consumption and improvement in energy effectiveness of distillation columns. However, the effects of certain parameters have not been taken into consideration. One of such parameters is the column heat loss which has either been assumed to be a certain percent of reboiler heat transfer or negligible. The purpose of this st...

Tensegrity Heat Shield for Atmospheric Entry through Celestial Bodies

Heat shields play a vital role in protecting space vehicles during the atmosphere reentry. Therefore, they are essential for space vehicles, and better designed heat shields will vastly improve the ability both of robots and humans to explore extraterrestrial destinations. The main goal of the current paper is to investigate the feasibility of designing, building and deploying a tensegrity-base...

Shield or not to Shield: Effects of Solar Radiation on Water Temperature Sensor Accuracy

Temperature sensors are potentially susceptible to errors due to heating by solar radiation. Although this is well known for air temperature (Ta), significance to continuous water temperature (Tw) monitoring is relatively untested. This paper assesses radiative errors by comparing measurements of exposed and shielded Tinytag sensors under indirect and direct solar radiation, and in laboratory e...
