This study investigates the temperature distribution in an idealized cylindrical package subjected to the HAC Fire transient, with no internal heat generation. Cases for overpack materials with thermal conductivity spanning two orders of magnitude are considered. The results show that the peak internal temperature is determined by the thermal conductivity of the overpack material, for this case. The thermal wave effect, where the interior temperature continues to rise after the end of the fire exposure, is present in all three of the test cases. For contents with no heat generation, the most desirable overpack materials would have low thermal conductivity and low heat storage capability. The study complements the parametric studies of effects of thermal properties on thermal response of packages which were previously reported.

This study investigates the temperature distribution in an idealized cylindrical package subjected to the HAC Fire transient. Cases for several common overpack materials, with thermal conductivity spanning two orders of magnitude, are considered. The results show that the interior temperature distribution and maximum interior temperature are determined by the heat generation of the contents and the thermal resistance of the package materials. Heat generation has a dominant effect on the peak temperature in the center (containment vessel region) of the package, when the internal thermal resistance is high. For cases where the internal resistance is low, heat conducted into the interior during the fire determines the peak temperature in the center, containment vessel region. The thermal wave effect, where the interior temperature continues to rise after the end of the fire exposure, is present in all cases. The study complements the parametric studies of effects of thermal properties on thermal response of packages which were previously reported.

A mock handset with heat storage unit (HSU) has been designed, fabricated, and experimented under various conditions to examine the effect of external heat sink on the handset?s transient temperature distribution, performance of the individual HSU under different power level and orientation, as well as under the more realistic cyclic heating. The cooling of the handset is through using a phase change material (PCM), n-eicosane, stored in the external HSU connected to the handset through a miniature heat pipe. The heat pipe channels the internal heat dissipation to the HSU where it is absorbed by the PCM. Results show that the temperature is significantly lowered with the PCM-based HSU.

The transient, one-dimensional temperature distribution is determined for bodies with internal heat generation and nonlinear boundary condition in the form: k·e·gradθ+ε(θn−T0n)+ε1(θ−T0)=0 Approximate analytical solutions are derived with the aid of Biot’s variational method. The additional boundary condition introduced by Lardner is modified, and this modification makes it possible to solve the problem. The solution has been obtained assuming a parabolic profile of temperature distribution. Formulas are given for plates, cylinders, and spheres. Some results are illustrated with the graphs, and compared with the exact solution for the case of convective heat transfer.

The study reported in this paper deals with the development of a generalized and efficient computer-based model for parametric evaluation of heat partition and transient temperatures in dry and lubricated layered concentrated contacts. The program utilizes finite differences with the alternating direction implicit method. It is capable of treating this general class of problems provided that the heat generation distribution and the layer properties and thicknesses are known.

Abstract In this paper, the temperature distribution in a convective radial fins is analyzed through a fractional order energy balance equation with the consideration of internal heat generation and temperature dependent thermal conductivity. Adomian decomposition Sumudu transform method is used to study the influence of temperature distribution and the efficiency of radial fins for different values of thermal conductivity and to determine the role of thermal conductivity, thermo-geometric fin parameter as well as fractional order values in finding the temperature distribution and the fin efficiency of the convective radial fins. Finally, the efficiency of this proposed method has been studied by comparing the obtained results with the classical order results obtained by using numerical method and Variational Iteration Method (Coskun and Atay, 2007).

In this study, heat transfer in a longitudinal rectangular fin with temperature-dependent thermal properties and internal heat generation has been analyzed using finite volume method. The numerical solution was validated with the exact solution for the linear problem. The developed heat transfer models were used to investigate the effects of thermo-geometric parameters, coefficient of heat transfer and thermal conductivity (non-linear) parameters on the temperature distribution, heat transfer and thermal performance of the longitudinal rectangular fin. From the results, it shows that the fin temperature distribution, the total heat transfer, and the fin efficiency are significantly affected by the thermo-geometric of the fin. Therefore, the results obtained in this analysis serve as basis for comparison of any other method of analysis of the problem and they also provide platform for improvement in the design of fin in heat transfer equipment.

Abstract Background: During cataract operation (phacoemulsification), a phaco needle-tip is inserted into the anterior chamber of eye. Then, heat is generated by the oscillation of the phaco needle, which may injury the corneal endothelial cells. There are no data available for temperature responses at the corneal endothelium to heat from the phaco needle during phacoemulsification. Objective: Investigate temperature distribution on the corneal endothelium during ophthalmic phacoemulsification using numerical simulation, and compare the transient temperature response to heat between balanced salt solution (BSS) and ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD), Viscoat®. Methods: Heat flux from a phaco needle was measured with thermal properties of BSS and AVS in an experimental setting. Then, nodeless variable finite element method was applied to predict temperature changes in the eye by the phaco needle inserted into the anterior chamber. The transient temperature distribution on the corneal endothelium was calculated at 10, 20, and 30 seconds after heat generation by the needle. Results: The heat generation of phaco needle without sleeve cover was 1.6 kW/m2. The numerical simulation showed that the maximum temperature occurs on the wound location at all times after heat generation by the phaco needle. Especially, at time 30 seconds, it was 49.2 and 41.7°C in BSS and OVD, respectively. The temperature elevation by the phaco needle was lower in OVD than BSS. Conclusion: Phacoemulsification is a heat-generating procedure performed between the anterior chamber structures of eye. During this procedure, OVD may protect the corneal endothelium against heat better than BSS.
