Modeling heat and mass transfer in the heat treatment step of yerba maté processing
(Brazilian Society of Chemical Engineering, 2007-09)
The aim of this research was to estimate the leaf and twig temperature and moisture content of yerba maté branches (Ilex paraguariensis Saint Hilaire) during heat treatment, carried out in a rotary kiln dryer. These variables ...
Explicit solutions for a non-classical heat conduction problem for a semi-infinite strip with a non-uniform heat source
(Springer, 2015-12)
A non-classical initial and boundary value problem for a non-homogeneous one-dimensional heat equation for a semi-infinite material with a zero temperature boundary condition is studied. It is not a standard heat conduction ...
Energy efficiency, thermal resilience, and health during extreme heat events in low-income housing in Argentina
(Elsevier Science SA, 2021-01)
Extreme heat events result in higher indoor temperatures in buildings, increased energy consumption, and more frequent health problems, mainly between the children, the elderly over 65, and vulnerable low-income people. ...
Optimization-based design of a heat flux concentrator
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-01)
To gain control over the diffusive heat flux in a given domain, one needs to engineer a thermal metamaterial with a specific distribution of the generally anisotropic thermal conductivity throughout the domain. Until now, ...
A Brief Review on Thermal Metamaterials for Cloaking and Heat Flux Manipulation
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2019-11)
Progress in material science has allowed the control of different physical fields in a manner that would be unachievable with ordinary materials. The development of engineered materials (the so-called metamaterials) to ...
Heat stress-mediated activation of immune–inflammatory pathways
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-10)
Physiological changes in animals exposed to elevated ambient temperature are character-ized by the redistribution of blood toward the periphery to dissipate heat, with a consequent decline in blood flow and oxygen and ...
Approximate solutions to one-phase Stefan-like problems with space-dependent latent heat
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-08)
The work in this paper concerns the study of different approximations for one-dimensional one-phase Stefan-like problems with a space-dependent latent heat. It is considered two different problems, which differ from each ...
The role of geotectonic setting on the heat flow distribution of southern South America
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04)
The surface heat flow of southern South America was examined based on an updated database containing 1113 locations. Accordingly, this study presents the most accurate heat flow map of the southern portion of the continent ...
Heat shock proteins and heat shock factor 1 in carcinogenesis and tumor development: an update
(Springer, 2013-01)
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are a subset of the molecular chaperones, best known for their rapid and abundant induction by stress. HSP genes are activated at the transcriptional level by heat shock transcription factor 1 ...
Steady-state and time-dependent heat fluxes through building envelope walls: A quantitative analysis to determine their relative significance all year round
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
The selection of the best type of building envelope wall for a given location and the calculation of the heat flux exchanged with the exterior environment are key issues in avoiding undesirable heat losses and gains, thus ...
