Enhancement of heat transfer using ultrasonic waves: Experimental investigation and empirical correlations

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
This work aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasonic waves on heat transfer enhancement under a subcooled pool condition. For this purpose, a cylindrical rod is submerged in distilled water and a 1.7 MHz ultrasonic transducer was utilized to generate ...

Intense heat waves: dynamical-physical factors and characteristics of these heat waves

open access: yesSakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2017
Dynamical and physical factors that trigger and maintain heat waves (HW) were examined. Since high pressure systems play a role in HW processes, an atmospheric blocking method was introduced.

A framework for adaptation of Australian households to heat waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Climate change is leading to an increased frequency and severity of heat waves. Spells of several consecutive days of unusually high temperatures have led to increased mortality rates for the more vulnerable in the community. The problem is compounded by

Parental exposure to heat waves improves offspring reproductive investment in Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), but not in its predator, Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
The more frequent and intense occurrence of heat waves is a challenge for arthropods because their unpredictable incidence requires fast adaptations by the exposed individuals.

Gravitational wave heating

open access: yesPhysical Review D
It was shown in previous work that when a gravitational wave (GW) passes through a viscous shell of matter the magnitude of the GW will be damped and there are astrohysical circumstances in which the damping is almost complete. The energy transfer from the GWs to the fluid will increase its temperature.

Emerging risks from marine heat waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Recent marine heat waves have caused devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. Substantial progress in understanding past and future changes in marine heat waves and their risks for marine ecosystems is needed to predict how marine systems, and the goods

Characterization and Spatial Coverage of Heat Waves in Subtropical Brazil

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
Given the increase in the frequency, intensity, and persistence of heat waves since the 1970s, and in view of the impacts that extreme temperatures may cause for society and the economy, this study aims to characterize heat waves in the subtropical ...
