Modelling of Heat Transfer Processes with Compartment/Population Balance Model

Modelling of heat and mass transfer processes in neonatology.

This paper reviews some of our recent applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model heat and mass transfer problems in neonatology and investigates the major heat and mass transfer mechanisms taking place in medical devices such as incubators and oxygen hoods. This includes novel mathematical developments giving rise to a supplementary model, entitled infant heat balance module, w...

Modelling of Heat Transfer

Heat transfer is essential to maintaining a thennal balance. While it is generally understood that the passive flow of heat is in a direction from high to low temperature, the active transfer of heat via blood flow plays a very important role in thermoregulation. The fonner mechanism is labelled conductive heat transfer while the latter is labelled convective and is the primary means of transfe...

Heat Transfer Modelling in Wide Gap Rail Thermite Welding

In the current study, a thermal model was used to investigate the effects of welding parameters on the distribution of temperature in wide gap aluminothermic rail welds. To solve the governing thermal equation, SUTCAST, a finite difference program (FDM) was employed while different aspects such as phase change and convective heat transfer in weld pool were taken into account in the numerical so...
