Abstract Several studies indicate that the temperature distribution in concrete may affect the extent of frost scaling. This study presents a numerical model that describes the thermal response of freezing mortars in the presence of an external liquid reservoir, where the external liquid is either pure water or 3% sodium chloride solution. The phase transformation of supercooled external liquid is modelled in two stages: quick freezing, when the supercooled liquid starts to form crystals and slow freezing. The model is developed in two parts. In part I, the focus is the modelling of external liquid, and therefore a non-porous body with an external liquid reservoir is modelled and validated. In part II, the model developed in part I is developed further for a porous body containing different phases, i.e., unfrozen liquid and ice, in the pores. A comparison of simulated and experimentally measured temperature distributions shows a good agreement.

Abstract Thermal Response of Dielectric Nanoparticle Infused Tissue Phantoms during Microwave Assisted Hyperthermia treatment. In this paper, an experimental investigation of microwave assisted thermal heating (MWATH) of tissue phantom using a domestic microwave oven has been reported. Computer simulations using finite element method based tools was also carried out to support the experimental observations and probe insight on the thermal transport aspects deep within the tissue phantom. A good agreement between predicted and measured temperature were achieved. Furthermore, experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of dielectric nanoparticles viz. alumina (Al2O3) and titanium oxide (TiO2) during the MWATH of nanoparticle infused tumor phantoms. A deep seated tumor injected with nanoparticle solution was specifically mimicked in the experiments. Interesting results were obtained in terms of spatiotemporal thermal history of the nanoparticle infused tissue phantoms. An elevation in the temperature distribution was achieved in the vicinity of the targeted zone due to the presence of nanoparticles, and the spatial distribution of temperature was grossly morphed. We conclusively show, using experiments and simulations that unlike other nanoparticle mediated hyperthermia techniques, direct injection of the nanoparticles within the tumor leads to enhanced heat generation in the neighboring healthy tissues. The inhomogeneity of the hyperthermia event is evident from the local occurrence of hot spots and cold spots respectively. The present findings may have far reaching implications as a framework in predicting temperature distributions during MWA.

Turning experiments have been carried out on a low carbon iron using steel tools of different side rake face geometry. Temperature distributions have been determined using a recently developed metallographic method. It has been found that when using tools which have a controlled chip-tool contact length of 0.5 mm. the temperatures are ∼30 per cent lower than when using conventional, 6 deg rake tools and, as a result, tool life is longer. Theoretical equations are described which allow the calculation of the temperature distribution along the chip tool interface and the tribological conditions in this region are also considered in detail. There is good agreement between the calculated and measured temperature distributions.

A methodology for modeling and simulating the electrothermal behavior of an enclosed electronic package is presented and validated. The electro-thermal model is constructed using system dynamics. The system model, in which the electrical and the thermal domain are combined, is presented. The developed model describes the dynamic thermal behavior system that was an electronic device in the test enclosure. An effective way to identify the thermal parameters of the system, especially the thermal contact resistance, is suggested. Based on the proposed model, either the variation of the heat source or the ambient temperature can be estimated. Simulated results were in good agreement with the measured temperature in the transient state accompanying with the variation of the environment.

An inverse solution scheme based on the conjugate gradient method with the minimization of the object function is presented for estimating the unknown wall heat flux of conjugated forced convection flows between two corotating disks from temperature measurements acquired within the flow field. The validity of the proposed approach is demonstrated via the estimation of three time- and space-dependent heat flux profiles. A good agreement is observed between the estimated results and the exact solution in every case. In general, the accuracy of the estimated results is found to improve as the temperature sensors are moved closer to the unknown boundary surface and the error in the measured temperature data is reduced.

Thermoresponsive polymers are a promising material for drug nanocarrier preparation, which makes the study of their aggregation in physiological conditions very important. In this paper, the thermal behaviour of the thermoresponsive polymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline-co-2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline) and poly[(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-co-oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] were studied in phosphate buffer (PBS) and solutions of its salts in concentration as in PBS. The thermal response of the polymers was measured using UV-Vis and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The salts shifted the cloud point temperature (TCP) of the (co)polymers to higher values compared to the TCP of aqueous polymer solutions. In PBS and NaCl solutions, all polymers exhibited an unexpected and previously unreported transmittance profile. During heating, an additional aggregation of polymers appeared above the TCP accompanied by the formation of a precipitate. In monosodium phosphate solutions and pure water, the studied polymers showed lower critical solution temperature (LCST-type) behaviour. DLS measurements showed that a salt influenced the size of the resulting polymer particles. The sizes and stability of particles depended on the heating rate. In PBS and NaCl solutions, the size of particles in the dispersion decreased above 60 °C, and the precipitate appeared on the bottom of the cuvette. The additional aggregation of polymer and its falling out of solution may hinder the removal of carriers from the body and has to be taken into account when preparing nanocarriers.

Constructing accurate constitutive equation from the optimal material constants is the basis for finite element numerical simulation. To accurately describe the creep ageing behavior of 2A12 aluminum alloy, the present work is tentatively to construct an elastic-plastic constitutive model for simulation based on the ANSYS environment. A time hardening model including two stages of primary and steady-state is physically derived firstly, and then determined by electronic creep tensile tests. The material constants within the creep constitutive equations are obtained. Furthermore, to verify the feasibility of the material model, the ANSYS based numerical scheme is established to simulate the creep tensile process by using the proposed material model. Results show that the creep constitutive equation can better describe the deformation characteristics of materials, and the numerical simulations and experimental test points are in good agreement.

Рассматривается оценка согласованности мнений экспертов при проведении экспертного опроса. Наиболее часто в качестве такой оценки применяется коэффициент конкордации Кендалла. Однако этот коэффициент не может в полной мере применяться для установления хорошей согласованности мнений экспертов, поскольку он показывает только отклонение от случаев полной несогласованности. Для устранения данного недостатка может рассматриваться альтернативный коэффициент конкордации, оценивающий близость сумм рангов альтернатив к случаю полной согласованности. Здесь дается определение этого коэффициента при наличии связанных рангов. Сложность определения заключается в том, что в этом случае наблюдается несколько случаев полной согласованности с различными суммами рангов. Определение альтернативного коэффициента конкордации при наличии связанных рангов проводится в два этапа. Сначала вводится его определение для упорядоченных таблиц специального вида и показывается его совпадение с коэффициентом конкордации Кендалла в этом случае. После дается определение альтернативного коэффициента конкордации в общем случае и показывается более простая формула его вычисления. Далее приводятся некоторые примеры сравнений значений рассматриваемых коэффициентов конкордации, их статистических характеристик и гистограмм The article considers evaluation of expert opinion consistency when conducting an expert survey. The most commonly used score is Kendall's coefficient of concordance. However, this coefficient cannot be fully applied to establish good agreement of expert opinions, as it only shows deviations from cases of complete inconsistency. To eliminate this drawback, an alternative concordance coefficient can be considered, which estimates the proximity of the sums of the ranks of the alternatives to the case of complete consistency. The article gives the definition of this coefficient in the presence of connected ranks. The difficulty of this definition lies in the fact that in this case there are several cases of complete consistency with different sums of ranks. Definition of the alternative coefficient of concordance in the presence of tied ranks is carried out in two stages. First, its definition for ordered tables of a special kind is introduced and its coincidence with Kendall's coefficient of concordance in this case is shown. After that, the definition of the alternative coefficient of concordance in the general case is given and a simpler formula for its calculation is shown. Below are some examples of comparisons of the values of the considered concordance coefficients, their statistical characteristics, and histograms

AbstractWe present the design and first results from two experiments using a wireless subglacial sensor system (WiSe) that is able to transmit data through 2500 m thick ice. Energy consumption of the probes is minimized, enabling the transmission of data for at least 10 years. In July 2010 the first prototype of the system was used to measure subglacial pressure at the base and a temperature profile consisting of 23 probes in two 600 m deep holes at Russell Glacier, a land-terminating part of the West Greenland ice sheet near Kangerlussuaq. The time series of subglacial pressure show very good agreement between data from the WiSe system and the wired reference system. The wireless-measured temperature data were validated by comparison with the theoretical decrease of melting point with water pressure inside the water-filled hole directly after installation. To test the depth range of the WiSe system a second experiment using three different probe types and two different surface antennas was performed inside the 2537 m deep hole at NEEM. It is demonstrated that, with the proper combination of transmission power and surface antenna type, the WiSe system transmits data through 2500 m thick ice.

A soil temperature estimation model for increasing depth in a permafrost area in Alaska near the Bering Sea is proposed based on a thermal response concept. Thermal response is a measure of the internal physical heat transfer of soil due to transferred heat into the soil. Soil temperature data at different depths from late spring to the early autumn period at multiple permafrost sites were collected using automatic sensor measurements. From the analysis results, a model was established based on the relationship between the normalized cumulative soil temperatures (CRCST*i,m and CST*ud,m) of two different depths. CST*ud,m is the parameter of the soil temperature measurement at a depth of 5 cm, and CRCST*i,m is the parameter of the soil temperature measured at deeper depths of i cm (i = 10, 15, 20, and 30). Additionally, the fitting parameters of the mathematical models of the CRCST*i,m–CST*ud,m relationship were determined. The measured soil temperature depth profiles at a different site were compared with their predicted soil temperatures using the developed model for the model validation purpose. Consequently, the predicted soil temperatures at different soil depths using the soil temperature measurement of the uppermost depth (5 cm) were in good agreement with the measured results.

Shunt Tubing

✓ A method of measuring flow rate through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts is reported. It consists of two thermistors in series applied to the skin over the shunt tubing. The thermistors respond by a drop in measured temperature following application of an ice cube placed on the skin overlying the proximal shunt tube. The time required for the thermal response to travel between the two thermistors is related to the velocity of flow through the shunt tubing. Flow rate can then be calculated using the internal diameter of the tubing. A series of animal experiments employing a constant infusion of mock CSF through subcutaneously implanted shunt tubing showed excellent correlation between calculated flow rates and actual infusion rates. The device is noninvasive and easily adapted to use in patients. The measurements are readily repeatable.
