Abstract: A dynamic thermal-hydraulic model of a once-through subcritical steam generator is presented which allows the investigation of power plant system transients. The three-section (economizer, evaporator, ...

Abstract: A technique is presented for the simultaneous determination of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of biomaterials. Measurements are derived from the transient power supplied to a thermistor ...

Abstract: An improved technique is presented for the “in-vivo” determination of thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and perfusion using a self-heated spherical thermistor probe. In the presence of ...

Abstract: The CO2 laser provides radiation that is strongly absorbed and only weakly back-scattered by high water-content materials, such as biological tissue. Several methods can be employed to obtain ...

Abstract: Pool-boiling experiments were performed in helium from high purity copper which had been exposed to various amounts of fast neutron radiation. The residual effects of the radiation influenced ...

Abstract: An isolated, thermally regulated, perfused rat liver model system is presented. The model was developed to evaluate thermal methods to quantify perfusion in small volumes of tissue. The surgically ...
