Introduction Application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient  photothermal effects. Gold-gold sulfide (GGS) is considered as one of these nanostructures. This study was performed on a tissue-equivalent optical-thermal phantom to determine the temperature profile in the presence and absence of GGS and millisecond pulses of a ...

in this study, thermal performance of a cylindrical heat pipe is investigated numerically. three different types of water based nanofluids, namely (al2o3+water), (diamond+water) and (multi-wall carbon nano tube (mwcnt) +water) have been used. the influence of using the simple nanofluids and mwcnt nanofluid on the heat pipe characteristics such as liquid velocity, pressure profile, temperature p...

We study the temperature profile for a semi-infinite thin layer due to a Gaussian heat source. We follow the time-dependent temperature profile at the center of the top surface of the layer, deriving the asymptotic behavior and both the short time and long time behaviors. We also show that one can estimate thermal properites from various time measurements of the temperature at the center of the...

In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

EGL3 and RCE1 are glycoside hydrolase family 45 endoglucanases isolated from Humicola grisea and Rhizopus oryzae respectively. The amino acid sequences of the two endoglucanases are homologous; on the other hand, the optimum temperature of EGL3 is higher than that of RCE1. In this study, four chimeric endoglucanases, named ER1, ER2, ER3 and ER4, in which one of four sequential amino acid region...

In this paper the influence of the temperature cycle time history profile on the fatigue life of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints is studied. Temperature time history in a Pentium processor laptop computer was measured for a three-month period by means of thermocouples placed inside the computer. In addition, pentium BGA packages were subjected to industry standard temperature cycles and als...

The effect of spatial variability of the atmospheric CO2 distribution on temperature and water vapor retrievals from high spectral resolution observations of infrared emission is estimated by performing 4 different retrieval experiments. Using a global mean CO2 value, as currently routinely used, introduces errors in the retrieved temperature profile of up to 0.85 K compared to a retrieval in w...

The accurate prediction of wellbore temperature distribution helps to accurately estimate well pressure profile and bottom-hole pressure (BHP) which is important in the under-balanced drilling (UBD) operation. In this paper effect of temperature variation due to heat transfer of drilling fluid with the formation and also oil and gas production from the reservoir into the annulus in under-balanc...

Comparisons of satellite temperature profile products from GPS radio occultation (RO) and hyperspectral infrared (IR)/microwave (MW) sounders are made using a previously developed matchup technique. The profile matchup technique matches GPS RO and IR/MW sounder profiles temporally, within 1 h, and spatially, taking into account the unique RO profile geometry and theoretical spatial resolution b...

In this paper we describe a semianalytical approach to computing the temperature and thermal stress inside a III-V compound grown with the Czochralski technique. An analysis of the growing conditions indicates that the crystal growth occurs on the conductive time scale. A perturbation method for the temperature field is developed for an arbitrary crystal profile using the Biot number as a (smal...
