A new correlation function for the calculation of viscosity for five typical supercritical gases is presented using the rainwater-Friend and modified Enskog theory. It is shown that by using accurate value for the thermal pressure and co-volume in the modified Enskog theory, this correlation function is suitable for calculation of the viscosity of supercritical gases, without any density an...

Results of electro-thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded thick-walled spherical shell made of temperature dependent materials are presented in this article. All material properties are assumed temperature-dependent and also are graded along the thickness direction based on power function. Temperature dependency is accounted for all material properties including, thermal, mechanical a...

the three-phase-lag model and green–naghdi theory without energy dissipation are employed to study the deformation of a two-temperature fiber-reinforced medium with an internal heat source that is moving with a constant speed under a hydrostatic initial stress and the gravity field.  the modulus of the elasticity is given as a linear function of the reference temperature. the exact expressions ...

Background: It has been hypothesized that COVID-19 is less prevalent in regions with warm climates. Contradictory results led us to investigate the correlation between temperature and the cumulative COVID-19 incidence rate. Method: We obtained COVID data from CRONALAB, COVID-DASHBOARD, and MCMC databases of Fars province, linked data, and finalized daily COVID-19 cases. Daily data on the temp...

In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

This work uses the dual-phase-lag (DPL) model of heat conduction to demonstrate the effect of temperature gradient relaxation time on the result of non-Fourier hyperbolic conduction in a finite slab subjected to a periodic thermal disturbance. DPL model combines the wave features of hyperbolic conduction with a diffusion-like feature of the evidence not captured by the hyperbolic case. For the ...
