The High-Temperature-Short-Time (HTST) heat exchanger is widely used for pasteurizing liquid foods such as milk and juice. It relies on steam for heating and cold water for cooling via passive heat transfer, resulting in high energy consumption. This study proposes a ThermoElectric (TE) ... Read More
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for exploring brain function, offering detailed insights into its structure and physiology. Combining MRI technology with electrophysiological recording systems can enhance comprehension of brain functionality through synergistic ... Read More
Introduction Most current thermoregulation models represent the body in significantly simplified forms, e.g., cylinders or spheres. These simple geometries do not fully represent the complexity of bones, organs, etc. contained in the human body. Modern medical technologies allow for more ... Read More
Eddy current thermography (ECT) is a non-destructive contact-free method of defect detection in a conductive material combining the electromagnetic induction of eddy currents and thermal imaging. This technique uses an excitation system consisting of an inductor with coil(s) carrying ... Read More
Electromagnetic characterization plays an important role in both simulation and microwave heating applications. Particularly in the recovery of Mexican heavy oil, it is essential to perform electromagnetic characterization in order to understand more about the behavior of Mexican heavy ... Read More
Electrothermal actuators convert an electrical signal into a mechanical signal via Joule heating. Due to their simplicity and reliability, electrothermal actuators are commonly used in various fields across length scales: from human-scale soft robotics to nanometer-scale sensors. We ... Read More
Convection is a method of heat transfer which takes advantage of a fluid’s flow over a solid. At this boundary between the solid and fluid, the convection is quantified by the convective coefficient (h) and the following boundary condition is implemented: [9] k∇T=h∆T where h is the ... Read More
Introduction Wind presence in extreme cold temperatures is an accelerator of frostbite in susceptible areas. The National Weather Service (NWS) Wind Chill Temperature Index (WCTI) accounts for exposure time to frostbite in the cheek based on simplified human thermoregulatory models ... Read More
The scale up of electrical energy storage is one of the great technological challenges of our time as the world must quickly transform its energy infrastructure away from fossil fuels. Companies striving to commercialize new battery technologies must solve numerous electrochemical, ... Read More
Consumer electronic products are often cooled by air-convection to keep them operating at optimum performance. Air at elevated temperature may cause user discomfort and in some cases injury. It is important to understand the levels of air temperatures and velocities that may lead to ... Read More
