The summer 2018 saw temperatures far above the long-term average in Northern Hemisphere. It was England's hottest ever summer, with typical of those expected 2050s. In largest and most comprehensive study to date, summertime overheating 750 English homes assessed through both monitoring questionnaires. Overheating determined using adaptive thermal comfort criteria invariably produced patterns d...

Rotor cage faults as broken rotor bars, increased bars resistance and end-ring faults can be caused by thermal stresses, due to overload, overheating and thus mechanical stresses, magnetic stresses and dynamic stresses due to shaft torques. Environmental stresses as contamination or abrasion also contributes to the rotor cage faults. The rotor cage faults can also lead to the shaft vibration an...

The blood films both of patients with hereditary pyropoikilocytosis and of those with severe thermal burns are characterised by budding erythrocytes and the presence of microspherocytes. Recently, a fourth example of similar morphological features, caused by overheating of a blood specimen in a motor vehicle during transport to the laboratory, has been observed. It is important to be aware of t...

We report reaction temperature sensing (RTS)-based control to fundamentally enhance Li-ion battery safety. RTS placed at the electrochemical interface inside a Li-ion cell is shown to detect temperature rise much faster and more accurately than external measurement of cell surface temperature. We demonstrate, for the first time, that RTS-based control shuts down a dangerous short-circuit event ...

ISSN 2277 – 5056 | © 2012 Bonfring Abstract--General opinion for the cause of overheating in the engine is scarcity of water in the radiator which causes the engine to seize. Normally refilling the radiators would solve the problem but we have several proven cases where engines still seize due to loosening of belts. Though the current technology allows detection of engine temperature, there is ...

The success of any treatment modality depends on following a precise biological criteria which includes using atraumatic surgical procedures, minimal risk to surrounding tissues, improved visibility, hemostasis and post operative conditions2. Most of the instruments used are either manual or motor driven but in bone surgeries they do not help to achieve the above criteria because they are diffi...

This paper describes the potential of dynamic process simulation for operators and engineering contractors as a tool to analyse and solve operational and (front-end) engineering issues. The possibilities are illustrated by a typical project involving system dynamics. The objective of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of several alternatives to prevent surge and overheating in a com...
