bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. high mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

This paper addresses the challenge of solution verification and accuracy assessment for computing complex Partial Differential Equation (PDE) model. Our main target applications are bio-heat transfer and blood flow simulation problems. However our long term goal is to provide a postprocessing package that can be attached to any existing numerical simulation package, for example widely used comm...

A normal mode analysis for characterizing the temperature fluctuation in tissues was proposed based on the Penne’s bio-heat transfer equation. Closed-form analytical solutions to obtain the heating pattern due to the propagation of ultrasonic waves in tissue system are presented. The evaluation of temporal and spatial distributions of temperature is investigated with the effect of relaxation ti...

Abstract. In this report the development of a finite volume method for the time-accurate simulation of the temperature distribution in a premature infant inside an incubator or in an open radiant warmer is described. The real geometry of a premature infant is obtained from MRT-images. The infants thermoregulation is modelled by the so-called bio-heat-transfer-equation incorporating source terms...

Introduction: Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia is a promising cancer treatment approach. It is based on the evidence that by injecting MNPs such as Fe3O4 in the tumor and subjecting them to an alternating magnetic field, they release heat, generating temperatures up to 42°C that can kill cancer cells by apoptosis, usually with lowest damage to normal tissue. In previous...

basic understanding of the process of coolant heat transfer inside an engine is an indispensable prerequisite to devise an infallible cooling strategy. coolant flow and its heat transfer affect the cooling efficiency, thermal load of heated components, and thermal efficiency of a diesel engine. an efficient approach to studying cooling system for diesel engine is a 3d computational fluid dynami...

In this paper, the non-Fourier heat conduction in a semi-infinite body was examined. The heat wave non-Fourier heat conduction model was used for thermal analysis. Thermal conductivity was assumed temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-linear equation. The heat source was also considered temperature-dependent which resulted in a non-homogeneous equation. The Mac-Cormack predictor-correct...
