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 ...
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 ...
Experimental Determination of Surface Heat Transfer Coefficient in a Dry Ice-ethanol Cooling Bath Using a Numerical Approach
(Cryo Letters, 2017-03)
Dry ice-ethanol bath (-78ºC) have been widely used in low temperature biological research to attain rapid cooling of samples below freezing temperature. The prediction of cooling rates of biological samples immersed in dry ...
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 ...
Solving heat conduction problems with phase-change under the heat source term approach and the element-free Galerkin formulation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-07)
The present work has been conducted in order to introduce an alternative solution for heat transfer problems with phase-change and moving boundaries, via the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method. In this novel approach, the ...
Mesophyll conductance modulates photosynthetic rate in cotton crops exposed to heat stress under field conditions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Cotton is often exposed to high temperatures during the reproductive stage, which can negatively affect its productivity. The objectives were to: i) test whether heat stress impacts during the reproductive stage on ...

Theroretical prediction of the effect of heat transfer parameters on cooling rates of liquid-filled plastic straws used for cryopreservation os spermatozoa
(Cryo Letters, 2010-05)
Heat transfer plays a key role in cryopreservation of liquid semen in plastic straws. The effect of several parameters on the cooling rate of a liquid-filled polypropylene straw when plunged into liquid nitrogen was ...
