Use of Volumetric Heating to Improve Heat Transfer During Vial Freeze-Drying
… The goal of this project was to show that volumetric heating can be used in pharmaceutical freeze-drying and that this mode of heating offers some advantages. There were two approaches taken to the work, one experimental and one analytical. The experimental approach was broken into two …

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Microwave Heating of Thermal Runaway Materials
… of microwave processing of materials is in heating. The most important characteristic of microwave heating is {\it volumetric} heating, which is quite different from conventional heating where the heat must diffuse in from the surface of the material. Volumetric heating means that materials …

Nuclear reactor multi-physics simulations with coupled MCNP5 and STAR-CCM+
… the exchange of temperature, density, and volumetric heating information between the codes using ASCII text data files. Fortran90 and Java utility programs the assist job automation with data post-processing and file management. The MCNP5 utility code, MAKXSF, pre-generates temperature …

A steady-state L-mode tokamak fusion reactor : large scale and minimum scale
… edge localized modes (ELMs) and that it allows volumetric heating in the mantle due to the absence of a pedestal. Steady-state L-mode tokamak reactors could be the future of controlled fusion research and even play an important role in meeting the world's clean energy needs.

Theoretical Feasibility Study of Preferential Hyperthermia Using Silicon Carbide Inserts
… was to determine theoretically if preferential heating could be used to attain the desired thermal dose (DTD) for a two cm diameter tumor. The simulations in this work show that, when using a single silicon carbide insert, the model cannot provide enough energy for an entire 2 cm diameter tumor …

Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticle Synthesis and Manufacture using Microwave Processing for Biomedical Applications
… processing has been shown to homogenize the heating profiles of materials via bulk or volumetric heating, as well as reduce processing times. This results in more uniform particle formation and products with improved integrity. The precipitated CaPn were sintered via microwave heating while …

Silver nanoparticles and thin films for strained-silicon surface enhanced raman spectroscopy and capacitively-coupled radiofrequency heating
… data. For the cell hyperthermia studies the heating efficacies of commercially available Ag and Au NPs, synthesied via citrate reduction techniques, were also investigated by means of a capacitively-coupled RF heating system with a thermal imaging camera. Although there was rapid heat …

Volumetric creation of ultra-high-energy-density plasma by irradiation of ordered nanowire arrays
Creating appreciable volumes of Ultra-High-Energy Density (UHED) matter in the laboratory is a challenge. Recent developments in the fabrication of vertically aligned nanowire array targets, in coordination with ultra-high-contrast femtosecond laser pulses focused to relativistic intensity, have …
