Recent reviews of the literature on thermoregulation during exercise including the regulation of thermal sweating have been made by many scientists [see (1) for Jessen's review]. Human body temperature is determined by the balance between heat accumulation, whether generated by physical activity (metabolic heat production) or gained from the environment (environmental heat), and heat dissipatio...

This paper deals with a thermomechanical model describing phase transitions with thermal memory in terms of balance and equilibrium equations for entropy and microforces, respectively. After a presentation and discussion of the model, the large time behaviour of the solutions to the related integro-differential system of PDE’s is investigated.

We discuss the different physical processes that are important to understand the thermal X-ray emission and absorption spectra of the diffuse gas in clusters of galaxies and the warm-hot intergalactic medium. The ionisation balance, line and continuum emission and absorption properties are reviewed and several practical examples are given that illustrate the most important diagnostic features i...

In this paper we study the energy balance in quiescent solar prominences. For this investigation we use a simple 1D slab model in magneto-hydrostatic equilibrium. We divide the studied region into two parts: The inner region consisting of the prominence itself and the cool part of the transition region (up to 30000 K). In this region the plasma is optically thick in several atomic transitions a...

The Radiation Force Balance (RFB) technique is well established and most widely used for the measurement of total ultrasonic power radiated by ultrasonic transducer. The technique is used as a primary standard for calibration of ultrasonic transducers with relatively fair uncertainty in the low power (below 1 W) regime. In this technique, uncertainty comparatively increases in the range of few ...

A concise one dimensional thermal-hydraulic two-fluid model is presented for the numerical prediction of sulphur dioxide absorption from the flue gas onto drops of the water-limestone slurry in the vertical spray tower absorber. The model is based on mass, momentum and energy balance equations for each phase separately, i.e. downward falling droplets of water-limestone slurry and upward flowing...

We consider a wide class of linear stochastic problems driven off the equilibrium by a multiplicative asymmetric force. The force breaks detailed balance, maintained otherwise, thus producing entropy. The large deviation function of the entropy production in the system is calculated explicitly. The general result is illustrated using an example of a polymer immersed in a gradient flow and subje...

Arguments in favor of the importance of non-thermal factors in the control of skin circulation are presented. Such factors include exercise, posture, water and electrolyte balance, state of training, and acclimatization. The first three factors probably elicit their effects via high- and low-pressure baroreceptors, while the mechanisms involved for the remainder are unknown.

The native state of protein is a resultant of delicate balance of various interactions of protein within itself and with surrounding environment. Disruption of this balance by heat, cold, pressure, pH, denaturant etc., leads to protein denaturation. In the present paper we have investigated the effect of sodium acetate, magnesium acetate calcium acetate, sodium propionate and sodium butyrate on...

In the past most diagnostic studies of frontal cyclone development have been carried out through use of quasigeostrophic models. In this paper we present the results of vertical motions obtained from a 5-level general balance model. Nongeostrophic effects such as deformation and beta term of the balance equations, divergence, vertical advection, and the twisting term of the complete vorticity e...
