Comparative tests were conducted in an environment-controlled farrowing room (21 ° C, 70 ° F) to determine the choice of mat heat vs. lamp heat by piglets in farrowing crates. Two widened farrowing crates (2.40 × 2.13 m, 8 × 7 ft.) were used, each equipped with two double-size heat mats (0.6 × 1.2 m or 2 × 4 ft, 120 W capacity each). One mat was powered to provide the localized heat, while the ...

In this study a multi block procedure is implemented to solve accurately two-dimensional transient Inverse Heat Conduction Problems (IHCPs). The multi block method is implemented for geometric decomposition of physical domain into regions with blocked-interface structured grids. The Finite Element Method (FEM) with Galerkin weighting function is employed for direct solution of transient heat co...

This paper presents an approach to estimation of electronic circuit temperature solving an inverse problem. The main goal of the simulations presented in this paper is to investigate the possibility of improving the quality of circuit temperature estimates applying the function specification algorithm. Given information on circuit layout as well as typical working conditions and material therma...
