We re-examine the thermal evolution of the postshock layer in primordial gas clouds. Comparing the time scales, we nd that the evolutionary paths of postshock regions in primordial gas clouds are basically understood by the diagram drawn on ionization degree v.s. temperature plane. The results obtained from the diagram are independent of the density, in case we do not include photodissociation ...

synthesis, identification and thermal behavior studies of nanoparticles cobalt (ii) bromide has been studied in this research. cobalt (ii) bromide was synthesized by planetary high-energy ball mill. the general formula of this compound is cobr2.6h2o. the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and also size and structure of synthesized nanoparticl...

many environmental and physiological factors affect plant temperature. the objective of this study was to use thermal imagery to investigate robust features for early diagnosis of botrytis cinerea infection in cut rose flowers under the postharvest application of methyl jasmonate (meja). three cases treated with different concentrations of meja (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 µl.l−1), a control (0 µl.l−1 me...

In this paper thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of a two layer system is examined from the theoretical point of view. We use the one dimensional heat diffusion equation with the appropriate solution in each layer and boundary conditions at the interfaces to calculate the heat transport in this bounded system. We also consider the heat flux at the surface of the samle as boundary cond...

BACKGROUND Accidental hypothermia increases mortality and morbidity in trauma patients. Various methods for insulating and wrapping hypothermic patients are used worldwide. The aim of this study was to compare the thermal insulating effects and comfort of bubble wrap, ambulance blankets / quilts, and Hibler's method, a low-cost method combining a plastic outer layer with an insulating layer. ...

an attempt was made to investigate the thermal and residual stress distribution in a novel three layer (la 2 zr 2 o 7 / 8ysz/ nicraly) during a real-like heating regime which includes heating, service time and final cooling. for achieving maximum accuracy and consistency in calculation of thermal and mechanical properties of hybrid coating system, all related andrequired properties were introdu...

This article describes the impact of slip conditions on nanofluid flow through a stretching sheet. Nanofluids are very helpful to enhance the convective heat transfer in a boundary layer flow. Prandtl number also play a major role in controlling the thermal and momentum boundary layers. For this purpose, we have considered a model for effective Prandtl number which is borrowed by means of exper...
