Proper evaluation of the surface and the depth of a burn wound, especially in the case of a severe burn, enables an appropriate choice of treatment to be made. This choice decides subsequently about the success of the entire medical treatment. Clinical assessment is currently the most frequently applied method in burn depth evaluation. Unfortunately the use of this method results in a high numb...

High-reflectivity fused silica mirrors are at the epicentre of today’s advanced gravitational wave detectors. In these detectors, the mirrors interact with high power laser beams. As a result of finite absorption in the high reflectivity coatings the mirrors suffer from a variety of thermal effects that impact on the detectors’ performance. We propose a model of the Advanced LIGO mirrors that i...

The purpose of this paper is to present a brief overview of the MD* thermal spray process, review the current existing models of heat transfer and fluid mechanics relevant to this process, outline a simplified thermal model implemented together with the results, and discuss the activities required for the implementation and verification of an accurate temperature model of the MD* thermal spray ...

In this work, we present a system of equations which describes non-isothermal flow in a bidispersive porous medium under conditions of local thermal non-equilibrium. The porous medium consists of macro pores, and in the solid skeleton are cracks or fissures which give rise to micro pores. The temperatures in the solid skeleton and in the fluids in the macro and micro pores are all allowed to be...

Realistic estimates of daily streamflow and water temperature are required for effective management of water resources (e.g. for electricity and drinking water production) and freshwater ecosystems. Although hydrological and process-based water temperature modelling approaches have been successfully applied to small catchments and short time periods, much less work has been done at large spatia...

This paper presents three equivalent thermal circuit models with multiple input parameters, namely, the state of health (SOH), charge (SOC), current and temperature. Typical physiochemical include parameters such as porosity tortuosity, which are not easily experimentally available; this model allows for internal impedance to be estimated using more practical inputs. The resistance a LiFePO4 ba...

The article presents the mathematical models and the results obtained has the numerical modelling of the thermal status of the electrical leads isolated for cryogenic applications. Model them mathematics are based on the equation of thermal conduction 1D and 2D. For the numerical resolution of the thermal conduction equation one uses the finite volumes method. The elaborate program permits to g...
