This study delves into the intricate interplay of thermography, ice nucleation, and heat transfer during the phase change from supercooled liquid water to crystallized ice. Utilizing high-resolution, high-speed infrared thermography, real-time temperature data is captured during ice nucleation events. By analysing these temperature profiles, valuable information about the dynamics of ice nucleation ...

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a commonly employed technique in commercial plastic recycling for purposes including classification, sorting, identification, and elemental analysis. However, understanding the molecular-level kinetics, thermodynamic interactions, bonding cleavage, and process parameter impacts is crucial for identifying necessary modifications to enhance plastic ...

Studies report that writing skills of many beginner students in Norwegian higher education institutions are not adequately developed, showing a lack of critical thinking and referencing technique and a poor requisite language ability (Wollcheid et al. 2020). Literature also shows that a traditional lecture setting does not help students to enhance their learning autonomy (Rynning, 2014). ...

Wind power is an excellent source of renewable energy in areas with sufficient wind resources. Usually, the best locations for wind turbines are on the tops of hills and ridges, where there are lower temperatures [1]. Cold temperatures are responsible for novel challenges [2, 3]. Due to cold climatic conditions, turbine blades are subjected to icing [4]. A number of methods have been proposed and ...

The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the influenza epidemics have revived the interest in understanding how these highly contagious enveloped viruses respond to alterations in the physicochemical properties of their microenvironment. By understanding the mechanisms and conditions by which viruses exploit the pH environment of the host cell during endocytosis, we can gain a better understanding ...

The landscape of engineering is undergoing a transformative evolution, and at its forefront is the paradigm of multiphysics—a revolutionary approach that integrates and simulates multiple physical phenomena within a single computational framework. This abstract explores the significance of multiphysics in shaping the future of engineering and its profound impact on innovation, efficiency, and ...

Surfers daring the harshest waves, including the frigid arctic waters of Norway, rely on wetsuits for extended cold-water sessions. Understanding the thermal behavior of wetsuit materials is crucial for enhancing surfers' comfort and safety. In this study, we investigate the thermal properties of neoprene and natural rubber, the primary materials used in wetsuit construction, with a focus on conductive ...
