AbstractAccurate and responsive non-invasive temperature measurements are enablers for process monitoring and plant optimization use cases in the context of Industry 4.0. If their performance is proven for large classes of applications, such measurement principles can replace traditional invasive measurements. In this paper we describe a two-step model to estimate the process temperature from a pipe surface temperature measurement. This static case model is compared to and enhanced by computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculations to predict transient situations. The predictions of the approach are validated by means of controlled experiments in a laboratory environment. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the model, the responsiveness of the pipe surface temperature, and that state of the art industrial non-invasive sensors can achieve the performance of invasive thermowells. The non-invasive sensors are then used to demonstrate the performance of the model in industrial applications for cooling fluids and steam.

The Ideal

Penthrox (methoxyflurane) is an inhaled analgesic. It is a non-invasive, lightweight, portable handheld inhaler indicated for the emergency relief of moderate-to-severe pain in conscious adult patients with trauma. It is becoming very popular in the pre-hospital setting and in the emergency department and has been proven to reduce acute pain within 6–10 inhalations. One 3 ml bottle will provide effective analgesic relief for up to 30 minutes (continuous use) or 1 hour (intermittent use). With very few drug interactions and a short half-life, it is the ideal analgesic for conscious patients. However, it is not recommended to use regularly and should not replace a good analgesic approach.
