AIMS To use microstructural computer models to study how four features of myocardial architecture affect propagation: brick wall tissue structures, jutting at cell ends, gap junction distribution and conductance along cell borders, and increased structural discontinuity. METHODS AND RESULTS Simulations of longitudinal and transverse plane wave propagation and point propagation were performed ...

ABSTRACT:A mathematical model for the performance prediction of an industrial glass furnace with six ports on each side was developed. This model comprises of two main sub-models for the combustion chamber and glass-melting tank. The first sub-model consists of the models for the combustion and the heat transfer model including, radiation, convection and conduction. The fuel combustion in a...

In this paper numerical technique has been used to solve multidimensional unsteady state heat conduction equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We focus on finite volume numerical technique for solution of multidimensional time dependent heat conduction problems. Finally, the efficiency of this technique is tested for some heat conduction problems with known analytical solutions and the n...

Critical points arising in transonic flow profiles of the steady compressible Euler equations with heat conduction are investigated. Two examples of transonic flow profiles are studied, namely, radial outflow in a gravitational field, and flow in a quasi-one-dimensional nozzle. The stationary flow equations are reformulated in terms of a dynamical system that parametrizes the flow profiles. Add...

small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. non-fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of fourier heat tran...

the falling and settling of solid particles in gases and liquids is a natural phenomenon happens in many industrial processes. this phenomenon has altered pure forced convection to a combination of heat conduction and heat convection in a flow over a plate. in this paper, the coupling of conduction (inside the plate) and forced convection of a non-homogeneous nanofluid flow (over a flat plate) ...

Heat conduction by phonons is a ubiquitous process that incorporates a wide range of physics and plays an essential role in applications ranging from space power generation to LED lighting. Heat conduction has been studied for over two hundred years, yet many microscopic aspects of heat conduction have remained unclear in most crystalline solids, including which phonons carry heat and how natur...
