Temperature Dependent Properties

Parameters in the heat conduction equation are frequently modeled as temperature dependent. Thermal conductivity, volumetric heat capacity, convection coefficients, emissivity, and volumetric source terms are parameters that may depend on temperature. Many applications, such as parameter estimation, optimal experimental design, optimization, and uncertainty analysis, require sensitivity to the parameters describing temperature-dependent properties. A general procedure to compute the sensitivity of the temperature field to model parameters for nonlinear heat conduction is studied. Parameters are modeled as arbitrary functions of temperature. Sensitivity equations are implemented in an unstructured grid, element-based numerical solver. The objectives of this study are to describe the methodology to derive sensitivity equations for the temperature-dependent parameters and present demonstration calculations. In addition to a verification problem, the design of an experiment to estimate temperature variable thermal properties is discussed.

The Impact

The formation of the present work is based on the development of the exact analytical solution of two-dimensional temperature response by employing the hyperbolic heat conduction bioheat model in a single-layered human skin tissue subjected to the regional hyperthermia therapy (RHT) for cancer treatment. The mathematical approach has been utilized as a hybrid form of ‘separation of variables’ and ‘finite integral transform’ method. Three kinds of surface heat fluxes (constant, sinusoidal and cosine) have been employed as an external heat source on the therapeutic surface of the square-shaped skin tissue of 100 mm × 100 mm. An innovative form of initial condition (spatially dependent) has been implemented in the present mathematical formulation as skin tissues are highly non-homogeneous and non-uniform in structure. The present research outcome indicates that cosine heat flux would be a suitable alternative for the sinusoidal heat flux. The impact of the relaxation time lag has been clearly noted in the thermal response with the waveform-like behaviour and it justifies the postulate of hyperbolic heat conduction. The two-dimensional temperature of the skin tissue has been observed in the range of 48.1 ℃–40 ℃ (in decreasing order). Estimated peak temperatures are in the proposed spectrum of hyperthermia therapy for an exposure time of 100 s, and this fact is true in an agreement with the medical protocol of the cancer treatment. The accuracy of the mathematical modelling and in-house computer codes are justified with the published numerical models and the maximum deviation of the thermal response has been noticed in order of 1.5–3%. The two-dimensional surface thermal contours have provided a glimpse of heat flow in the physical domain of skin tissue under different heating conditions and this research output may be beneficial to establish the theoretical standard of the regional hyperthermia treatment for cancer eradication.

Temperature Dependent Properties

Despite significant efforts examining the suitability of the proper form of the heat transfer partial differential equation (PDE) as a function of the time scale of interest (e.g. seconds, picoseconds, femtoseconds, etc.), very little work has been done to investigate the millisecond-microsecond regime. This paper examines the differences between the parabolic and one of the hyber-bolic forms of the heat conduction PDE that govern the thermal energy conservation on these intermediate timescales. Emphasis is given to the types of problems where relatively fast heat flux deposition is realized. Specifically, the classical parabolic form is contrasted against the lesser known Cattaneo-Vernotte hyperbolic form. A comparative study of the behavior of these forms over various pulsed conditions are applied at the center of a rectangular plate. Further emphasis is given to the variability of the solutions subject to constant or temperature-dependent thermal properties. Additionally, two materials, Al-6061 and refractory Nb1Zr, with widely varying thermal properties, were investigated.
