This book was released on 2017 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the surface temperature of a heat-generating solid body can be measured using a variety of methods, there is a scarcity of techniques that exist for non-invasively measuring the temperature inside the solid body. Internal temperature measurement is very desirable as mere measurement of surface temperature gives no indication of the internal temperature. The highest temperature, usually located at the core of the body, dictates system performance and safety. For example, Li-ion cells provide good energy storage and conversion characteristics, but unfortunately suffer from safety problems related to overheating due to insufficient heat removal during operation. The following thesis presents a technique to non-invasively measure the core temperature of a heat generating solid body for both steady state and transient cases, utilizing the theoretical relationship between the core and surface temperatures of the body. This method is experimentally validated by determining the core temperature of various heat generating cylindrical bodies - a thermal test cell and a Li-ion cell - using infrared temperature measurement on the surface, and comparing with measurements from embedded thermocouples within each cell. There is excellent agreement throughout the heat generation period between the predicted core temperature and measurements from the embedded thermocouple. These measurements demonstrate an accurate, non-invasive measurement method for real-time, core temperature monitoring. This thesis also investigates thermal performance of a Li-ion cell with a heat pipe inserted into the core. It is shown that active cooling of the protruding tip of the heat pipe results in maximum thermal benefit, which is shown to reduce the core temperature to as low as, or even lower than the surface temperature. This work contributes towards fundamental thermal metrology, and toward effective thermal management techniques for future Li-ion cell manufacturer designs, with possible applications in a wide variety of engineering systems.

Download or read book Human Body Temperature written by Y. Houdas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physiology of man is a complex subject. Unfortunately the regulation of temperature in the human body is not always well explained in textbooks. Many conference proceedings on the subject have been produced that give excellent detail on research topics. However, the subject matter is rarely presented as a composite whole. New technology has broadened the scope of methods available for studying body temperature. Thermography in particular has made it possible to record in real time the temperature distribution of large areas of the body surface. Modem image processing methods permit dynamic studies to be carried out and detailed analyses made retrospectively-a tremendous advance over the complex and slow techniques formerly used by physiologists. Yet although the associa tion between disease and temperature is as old as medicine itself, beyond the implicit faith in the clinical mercury thermometer, other measuring techniques are finding a slow acceptance. This book is designed to put into perspective the critical factors that make up "body temperature. " Body temperature cannot be viewed as a static entity but rather must be seen as a dynamic process. An understanding of this phenomenon is important to all who use thermal imaging and measuring techniques in clinical medi cine. These methods have, in recent years, brought engineers, physi cists, technicians, and clinicians together. Inevitably, however, there v vi Preface are gaps and overlaps in technology and understanding.
