An unknown transient heat source in a three-dimensional participating medium is reconstructed from temperature measurements using a Bayesian inference method. The heat source is modeled as a stochastic process. The joint posterior probability density function (PPDF) of heat source values at consecutive time points is computed using the Bayes’ formula. The errors in thermocouple readings are mod...

A finite element method was used to solve the unsteady state heat transfer equations for heating of turkeys in a conventional electric oven. Breast, and thigh and wing joint temperature in 5.9, 6.8, 8.6, 9.5, and 10.4 kg turkeys were simulated. A surface heat transfer coefficient of 19.252 W/m2K determined by transient temperature measurements in the same oven, was used. Thermal conductivity me...

This paper presents a set of classical analytical solutions to heat conduction in a two-layer composite hollow cylindrical medium, which are derived by the method of Laplace transform. The subjected boundary conditions are general and included various combinations of constant temperature, constant flux, zero flux, or convection boundary condition at either surface. The new solution can reduce t...

in order to study the effects of post – anthesis heat stress on source of six wheat genotypes (vee/nac, chamran, s79-10, dez, fong and kaveer), two separate field experiments were conducted as delayed as against optimum sowing dates in ahvaz coditions. plants in delayed sowing date experienced heat stress at post-anthesis growth stage. as study of grain yield indicated that the highest and the ...

Total thermal resistance of ground heat exchanger (GHE) is comprised of that of the soil and inside the borehole. The thermal resistance of soil can be calculated using the linear source theory and cylindrical source theory, while that inside the borehole is more complicated due to the integrated resistance of fluid convection, and the conduction through pipe and grout. Present study evaluates ...
