A model of heat transfer through feather layers of broiler chicks - An operation with a heat source
(2014-01-01)
Broilers acquire thermoregulatory maturity at approximately ten days post-hatching and undergo physiological changes during the rearing period. During this process, the birds have high sensitivity to low air temperatures ...
A transient three-dimensional heat transfer model of the human body
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The objective of this work is to develop an improved model of the human thermal system. The features included are important to solve real problems: 3D heat conduction, the use of elliptical cylinders to adequately approximate ...
Oxygen mass transfer studies on batch cultivation of P. aeruginosa in a biocalorimeter
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, 2008)
PREDICTION OF OPTIMUM SUPPLEMENTAL HEAT FOR PIGLETS
(Amer Soc Agricultural & Biological Engineers, 2019-01-01)
The thermal environment of farrowing facilities is generally controlled at the thermo-neutral zone for sows (15 degrees C to 19 degrees C). This imposes thermal challenges for newborn piglets, which are thermally comfortable ...
Graded meshes in bio-thermal problems with transmission-line modeling method
(Elsevier B. V., 2014)
In this study, the transmission-line modeling (TLM) applied to bio-thermal problems was improved by incorporating several novel computational techniques, which include application of graded meshes which resulted in 9 times ...

A mesoscopic drying model applied to the growth rings of softwood: mesh generation and simulation results
(Universidad del Bío-Bío, 2008)
Heat transfer and physical-mechanical properties analysis of particleboard produced with ZnO nanoparticles addition
(2019-01-01)
The use of particleboards (PB) has increased quickly as an alternative engineered wood product mainly due to its having a better ratio of resistance to weight and more elimination of wood defects, such as the presence of ...
Barrier properties and mechanical strength of bio-renewable, heat-sealable films based on gelatin, glycerol and soybean oil for sustainable food packaging
(Elsevier Science, 2018-04)
In this work we studied the mass transfer of renewable films based on gelatin (Ge), glycerol (Gly) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) for application in food packaging. Films were tested for water vapor absorption and diffusion ...
