Anisotropically-shaped metal nanoparticles act as nanoscale heaters via excitation of a localized surface plasmon resonance, utilizing a photothermal effect which converts the optical energy into local heat.

A discussion of the variables involved in the temperature gradient along a skirt support for a hot vessel is presented. A method is presented for reasonably approximating the maximum gradient since the temperature curve is rarely linear. For guidance in applying the formula and to illustrate the effect of some of the variables, several basic cases are calculated, using three different skirt support thicknesses and considering bare, fireproofed, and insulated types of skirts. Having a formula for a steady-state temperature along the length of a skirt, it is possible by means of mathematical manipulations to obtain the value of the radius of curvature of the neutral axis at any point. Using this, it is then possible to calculate the axial tension and compression stresses on the inside and outside of a free skirt wall.

Abstract Upper limit of experimental coefficient between the measured transfer of latent heat and the estimated vapour flux in the frame of the conventional model of latent heat transfer in soil was examined by analysing the measured latent heat transfer and temperature gradient in soil under steady-state temperature gradient. To exclude the temperature gradient as an uncertainty factor from the experimental coefficient, the temperature gradients of overall soil and soil pore were included into the vapour fluxes in the atmosphere. The estimated experimental coefficient did not exceed unity, which indicated that both the latent heat transfer and the vapour fluxes in the soil were smaller than those in the atmosphere. The gap that appeared between the experimental coefficient and the product of the tortuosity factor and air-filled porosity implied the existence of an unidentified parameter relevant to characteristic of the circulation of water in soil which is the main mechanism of latent heat transfer in soil. By quantifying this characteristic with simultaneous measurements of the latent heat transfer, distributions of temperature, water content and solute content in various soils under the steady-state condition, the conventional model would be modified, or an alternative model being independent of the conventional model would be developed.

In this paper, we propose a method for the identification of the differential inductance of saturable ferrite inductors adopted in DC–DC converters, considering the influence of the operating temperature. The inductor temperature rise is caused mainly by its losses, neglecting the heating contribution by the other components forming the converter layout. When the ohmic losses caused by the average current represent the principal portion of the inductor power losses, the steady-state temperature of the component can be related to the average current value. Under this assumption, usual for saturable inductors in DC–DC converters, the presented experimental setup and characterization method allow identifying a DC thermal steady-state differential inductance profile of a ferrite inductor. The curve is obtained from experimental measurements of the inductor voltage and current waveforms, at different average current values, that lead the component to operate from the linear region of the magnetization curve up to the saturation. The obtained inductance profile can be adopted to simulate the current waveform of a saturable inductor in a DC–DC converter, providing accurate results under a wide range of switching frequency, input voltage, duty cycle, and output current values.
