Following unstable ignition of carbon, but prior to explosion, a white dwarf (WD) in a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) undergoes a simmering phase. During this time, a central convective region grows and encompasses ∼ 1M⊙ of the WD over a timescale of ∼ 103 yrs, which sets the thermal and turbulent profile for the subsequent explosion. We study this time-dependent convection and summarize some of the...

We constructed hydrodynamical model atmospheres for mid M-type main-, as well as pre-main-sequence objects. Despite the complex chemistry encountered in such cool atmospheres a reasonably accurate representation of the radiative transfer is possible. The detailed treatment of the interplay between radiation and convection in the hydrodynamical models allows to study processes usually not access...

Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...

hypothermia generates potentially severe complications in operating or recovery room. forced air warmer is effective to maintain body temperature. extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf) is harmful to human body and mainly produced by electronic equipment including convective air warming system. we investigated elf-emf from convective air warming device on various temperature se...

Effects of rapid heat transfer using a fluidized bed on the heat-treating response of Al-Si-Mg alloys (both unmodified and Sr modified) were investigated. The heating rate in the fluidized bed is greater than in conventional air convective furnaces. Particle size analyses of eutectic Si showed that the high heating rate during fluidized bed solution heat treatment causes faster fragmentation an...

This study focuses on the possible relationship between ice water path (IWP) retrievals using high-frequency channels (89 and 150 GHZ) from: Advanced Microwave Sensor Unit B and Moisture Humidity Sounder sensors (NOAA 16-19) and the life cycle stage of convective clouds. In the first part of this study, the relationship between IWP and the cloud area expansion rate is analyzed using the 235 K i...

this work presents the heat transfer characteristics of a new type of porous radiant air heater that operates on the basis of effective energy conversion method between flowing gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. at each layer, the gas and solid phases are considered in non-local thermal equilibrium, and combustion in the porous radiant burner is modeled by considering a non-uniform heat genera...
