In this paper, the problem of heat and mass transfer on the flow of non-Newtonian micropolar fluid with uniform suction/blowing, heat generation, radiation, thermophoresis and chemical reaction is presented and discussed. The Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. The effects...

BACKGROUND To compare the heat production of 3 different phacoemulsification machines under strict laboratory test conditions. More specifically, the thermal behavior was analyzed between the torsional modality of the Infiniti system and longitudinal modalities of the Abbot WhiteStar Signature Phacoemulsification system and Bausch and Lomb Stellaris system. METHODS Experiments were performed ...

NTT Laboratories have focused on finding a radical solution to the problem of high power consumption and heat generation in ICT equipment by reducing the power consumption of microprocessors (MPU). This is because MPUs consume most of the power in this equipment. In this context, NTT Laboratories have developed optical data transmission technologies for off-chip and on-chip optical interconnect...

In numerous applications of energy harvesting via transformation of light into heat the focus recently shifted towards highly absorptive nanoplasmonic materials. It is currently established that noble metals-based absorptive plasmonic platforms deliver significant light-capturing capability and can be viewed as super-absorbers of optical radiation. Naturally, approaches to the direct experiment...

Considering importance of stress concentration around holes and notches of arbitrary shape in a given elastic medium for modern engineering, a two dimensional model for a thermoelastic problem in an hexagon region with an elliptic hole is established. The expressions for the temperature distribution and thermal stresses which have their importance in nuclear engineering are obtained for the mod...

Genetic algorithms are employed to optimize dimensionless temperature in nonlinear heat conduction problems. Three common geometries are selected for the analysis and the concept of minimum entropy generation is used to determine the optimum temperatures under the same constraints. The thermal conductivity is assumed to vary linearly with temperature while internal heat generation is assumed to...

Plasmonic absorbers have recently become important for a broad spectrum of sunlight-harvesting applications exploiting either heat generation, such as in thermal photovoltaics and solar thermoelectrics, or hot-electron generation, such as in photochemical and solid state devices. So far, despite impressive progress, combining the needed high performance with fabrication simplicity and scalabili...

Model generation has emerged as a key task in engineering design and analysis. AI research in this area has focused on model based reasoning emphasising qualitative models in attempting to automate this process. In this paper, we propose that this work on the use of model based reasoning in model generation would benefit from the inclusion of case-based reasoning (CBR) techniques. We argue that...
