longitudinal heat conduction is an important parameter in the cryogenic field, especially in cryogenic heat exchangers. in the present work, the parasitic effect of tube wall longitudinal heat conduction on temperature measurement has been studied in cryogenic laminar hydrogen flow. the effects of various parameters such as wall cold end temperature, wall thermal conductivity, gas volumetric fl...

Blubber, the specialized hypodermis of cetaceans, provides thermal insulation through the quantity and quality of lipids it contains. Quality refers to percent lipid content; however, not all lipids are the same. Certain deep-diving cetacean groups possess blubber with lipids - wax esters (WE) - that are not typically found in mammals, and the insulative quality of 'waxy' blubber is unknown. Ou...

with C−1 ≤ ρ ≤ C, C > 1. When n = 3 it describes the evolution of temperature u in a medium where the thermal conductivity is constant and the heat capacity is ρ. It also applies to diffusion in porous rocks, where ρ is the specific storage, if the hydraulic conductivity is constant. We consider the problem of the determination of ρ in Ω from boundary measurements. Consider the system:   ∆u(...

the abrasion is a significant issue, especially in machining of rigid steels. a functional and suitable approach for enhancing the heat transfer from machining area is using an intermediate fluid with higher heat transfer potential instead of common fluids. the objective of this experimental study is to discuss production, stability and thermal conductivity examination of water/graphene oxide n...

application of feed pellets in animal and aquatic farming industries has grown because of both the physical and the nutritional benefits it provides. development of feed pellets manufacturing industry is also considerable. steam conditioning process, which plays an important role in pelleting production, includes heating feed particles, adding moisture, and mixing the mash. pellets cooling and ...

This study develops a novel composite phase change material (PCM) based onparaffin/hydrophobic expanded perlite and exfoliated graphene nanoplatelets as heat transferpromoter. The experimental analysis was systematically carried out on fabrication,characterization and testing the thermal storage properties of composite PCM.

This study presents new Nano-enhanced Phase Change Materials, NePCMs, formulated as dispersions of functionalized graphene nanoplatelets in a poly(ethylene glycol) with a mass-average molecular mass of 400 g·mol-1 for possible use in Thermal Energy Storage. Morphology, functionalization, purity, molecular mass and thermal stability of the graphene nanomaterial and/or the poly(ethylene glycol) w...

We consider one-dimensional two-phase Stefan problems for a finite substance with different boundary conditions at the fixed faces. The goal of this paper is to determine the behavior of the free boundary and the temperature when the thermal coefficients of the material change. We obtain properties of monotony with respect to the latent heat, the common mass density, the specific heat of each p...

A two dimensional deformation due to internal heat source in a thermoelastic solid with microtemperatures under the dependence of modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity on reference temperature has been studied. A mechanical force of constant magnitude is applied at the free surface of thermoelastic half space. The normal modes technique has been applied to obtain the exact expressions ...
