This paper presents automated laser ablation strategies to improve the temperature distribution across the surface of inhomogeneous Ni-Fe-Cr-NiO electrical heating elements during joule heating. A number of iterative closed-loop laser control algorithms have been developed and analyzed in order to assess their impact on the efficacy of the heating element, in terms of homogeneous temperature control, and on the implications for automated fabrication of inhomogeneous metal oxide films. Analysis shows that the use of the leading method, i.e., use of a temperature-dependent variable-power approach with memory of previous processes, showed a 68% reduction in the standard deviation of the temperature distribution of the heating element and a greater uniformity of temperature profile as compared to existing manual methods of processing.

Abstract This study investigated the thermal insulation properties based on electrical heating test of graphene-based multi-layer fabric heating elements to confirm the possibility of application for fabric heating element for protective clothing. Four layers were designed as layers of outer, filler, electrical heating textile, and lining. The outer fabrics used two different densities of aramid woven fabrics (LD_ARW and HD_ARW), an aramid knit (AR_KT), and nonwoven (AR_NW). Fabricated graphene/polymer coated electrical heating textile (GR) exhibits a surface temperature of about 85 °C, a current of 0.12 A, and a power of 3 W when 30 V is applied. As composed with 4-layer, the surface temperature of LD_ARW and HD_ARW used as the outer for sample indicated less than 50 °C, due to their excellent heat resistance property; whereas, when AR_KT and AR_NW were used, the temperature was about 50 °C. This is because their fine fibers form high porosity that can entrap air. As a result of the thermal insulation properties, the temperature difference of each layer was in the order ΔT(GR-N3) < ΔT(GR-Lining) < ΔT(GR-Outer). In particular, when AR_NW was used as the outer fabric, ΔT(GR-Outer) was decreased by about 10 °C, compared with that of the other outer fabric. By the effect of relative humidity under dry 25% RH and comfortable 55% RH, the temperature difference was decreased under 55% RH; thus, the thermal insulation property was improved under comfortable humidity condition. Therefore, the best thermal insulation performance was exhibited when AR_NW was used as outer under 55% RH, and it is expected to expand its application to fabric heating element for protective clothing.

As the easy oil is more or less gone, the typical offshore development faces several challenges in the future. These may be related to ultra deep water or difficult operational conditions like high pressure and temperatures. In addition there are often challenges related to flow, for example wax or hydrates during shut-downs or in tail production. Prevention of wax and hydrates is often solved by injection of chemicals or alternatively by some sort of heating, e.g. direct electrical heating. It may also to some degree be solved by superior thermal insulation or a combination of the methods mentioned. A thick insulation coating may give additional challenges with respect to submerged weight. Pipe-in-pipe (PIP) designs, where the flowline is insulated and covered by an outer pipe, solve this challenge and are becoming more and more popular. However, the pipe-in-pipe concepts also provide some specific challenges. DNV has recently been involved in a PIP project with quite challenging operational conditions. The combination of high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) and a corrosive well fluid with a buried pipe-in-pipe without any release of axial force leads to a very conservative design using conventional design approach. This challenge can be solved by applying a stochastic design approach avoiding conservative assumptions on top of each other. A probabilistic analysis targeting an acceptable probability of failure according to DNV-OS-F101 [1] resulted in an optimised design with a balanced selection of input parameters and avoiding ultra-conservative, worst case input combinations.

The object of research is the repair processes of parts made of polymer composite materials using a local heating element. The goal is the development of technology, the selection of equipment for repair of parts and assemblies from polymer composite materials using a local heating element and a vacuum source outside the production area, as part of the aircraft. In the process of performing the work, an analysis and review of the existing equipment for local repair of parts from polymer composite materials was carried out. Equipment for local repair of own and imported production was tested. Based on the results of testing and market analysis, equipment was selected that meets the requirements of ND for the manufacture of parts from polymer composite materials. A technical process for repairing parts using a local heating element and a device for hot gluing has been developed.

Measurement of cardiac output is often investigated using a technique based on hot-film anemometry. Here, we discuss a modification to hot-film anemometry, which involves a cylindrical heating element mounted flush on the surface of a typical Swan-Ganz catheter. In contrast to traditional thermodilution, the method discussed here has the potential to allow continuous monitoring of cardiac output.This paper demonstrates that there is a simple approximate relationship between the power input to the device to maintain a temperature of one degree above blood heat and cardiac output. Since, the heat transfer and the fluid flow decouple, a numerical model of the heat transfer of a cylindrical catheter (with heating element) sitting concentrically within a rigid cylindrical artery is developed. Numerical results were obtained for a wide selection of flow profiles, including experimental data. The results indicate that the cardiac output/power input relationship is extremely robust with respect to flow profile and system parameter variation.

The objective of this research is to compare the efficiency of a direct current (DC) heating system with an electrical furnace coil. This was done using a house lab as a test bed located on the Durham College Whitby Campus in Canada. The house is approximately 1000 square feet, originally built circa 1950's/1960's, with an existing gas furnace of 60,000 BTUs and an energy efficiency EnerGuide rating of 95.5. Three options were tested during winter 2016 along with the electrical heating element. Weather normalization was taken into consideration using data provided by the weather network. The analysis showed that the direct current heating system option 3 had a higher BTUH/Watt= 3.73 compared to the furnace heating element=2.25 BTUH/Watt which represent a difference of 39.6%. An energy simulation was run using the HOT2000 software to evaluate the direct current technology vs gas, oil, propane and electricity. In each case the direct current technology showed an energy savings better than the comparative technology. From the data collected and analysis, it can be concluded that the direct current system is a valid technology for heating buildings. It is more efficient than the industry standard electrical heating coil with an efficiency of up to 40% better.

Abstract Some of the foundations of Heyes’ radical reasoning seem to be based on a fractional selection of available evidence. Using an ethological perspective, we argue against Heyes’ rapid dismissal of innate cognitive instincts. Heyes’ use of fMRI studies of literacy to claim that culture assembles pieces of mental technology seems an example of incorrect reverse inferences and overlap theories pervasive in cognitive neuroscience.
