CURRENT THEORIES OF DISSIPATION IN THE RELATIVISTIC REGIME SUFFER FROM ONE OF TWO DEFICITS: either their dissipation is not causal or no profiles for strong shock waves exist. This paper proposes a relativistic Navier-Stokes-Fourier-type viscosity and heat conduction tensor such that the resulting second-order system of partial differential equations for the fluid dynamics of pure radiation is ...

We look at a basic introduction to classical models of heat conduction, with a few examples including both finite and infinite systems, with techniques appropriate to each based on the boundary and initial conditions. Portions of the paper follow chapter 11 of Theoretical Mechanics of Particles and Continua [1], where I have attempted to expand the analysis in an attempt to provide clarity wher...

The deterioration of the performance of a cross flow heat exchanger with condensation due to the longitudinal conduction was investigated. For a relatively small change of wall temperature along the flow directions which was shown to be common in many applications, the energy equations were solved numerically. An iterative method was used to solve the resulting equations of the finite differenc...

In modern surgery, a multitude of minimally intrusive operational techniques are used which are based on the punctual heating of target zones of human tissue via laser or radio-frequency currents. Traditionally, these processes are modeled by the bioheat equation introduced by Pennes, who considers Fourier’s theory of heat conduction. We present an alternative and more realistic model establish...

The interaction of thermal radiation with conduction and laminar natural convection in a vertical circular pin, situated at participating gas, is numerically investigated. An absorbing and emitting gas is considered, and treated to be a gray participating media. Under the idealizing of gray gas, the Rosselan4 approximation is employed to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. ...

in the present paper, a numerical method is considered for solving one-dimensionalheat equation subject to both neumann and dirichlet initial boundaryconditions. this method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions (rbfs). the operational matrix of derivative for laguerre-gaussians (lg) radial basis functions is used to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations...
