This book was released on 1952 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The method presented in NACA TN 2692 for evaluating the skin friction of a turbulent boundary layer in compressible flow on an insulated surface is extended to evaluate the turbulent skin friction and heat transfer in compressible flow on a surface which is heated or cooled. The results of this analysis are in good agreement with the heat transfers measured in flight on the NACA RM-10 missile up to Mach number of 3.8.
Download or read book Temperature Regulation written by Stewart Richards and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MANY aspects of physiology are best understood in terms of bodily reactions to environmental stress, and temperature is one of the most often encountered stress factors in the environment. The responses to temperature can involve practically all of the organ systems of the body and it is for this reason that the study of the regulation of body temperatures represents one of the finest examples of complex reaction integrated by the nervous and endocrine systems, and hence of the principles of biological control. Thus, while thermoregulation offers an abundance of opportunities for the individual who likes to specialize in depth, it is an ideal type of physiology for those who prefer to think of the functioning of the body as whole. This book is written primarily for the undergraduate, but I hope also that some students may find time to read it, before embarking on a university course, as an introduction to some of the ideas that will be encountered in the more detailed study of the biological sciences, including medicine. I have tried to discuss the evidence for important ideas, since this is fundamental to the scientific method, and have been particularly concerned to avoid the use of the sort of technical jargon that gives a spurious impression of authority while in reality creating confusion out of what is in essence simple.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise overview of the common dermatological conditions most likely to present in general medicine From reviews: "... a perfect solution to the constant struggle that dermatology diagnosis presents to primary care physicians and other providers... This well-formatted book covers a vast array of topics ranging from common to rare skin disorders. The pictures are immensely helpful in the understanding of various skin rashes...." Fam Med 2019;51(5):451–452. “... easy to read and informative. One cannot emphasise enough the quality and comprehensive nature of the photographic content.... As someone who was interested in dermatology even as a medical student my only regret is that this book was not around when I was a student as it would have very adequately guided me into my beloved subspecialty.” Ulster Med J 2017;86(3):1–1. “The introduction outlines dermatological conditions by symptom, morphology and body site, providing an excellent index prior to delving into greater detail in the following chapters. The logical approach and level of detail make this text perfect for medical students, interns/residents, primary care physicians and other specialists who wish to quickly identify differential diagnoses or refresh their knowledge of dermatological conditions.” A Lecturer in Dermatology Dermatology Made Easy is based on the hugely popular DermNet New Zealand website and is designed to help GPs, medical students and dermatologists diagnose skin conditions with confidence. The book starts by providing a series of comprehensive tables, complete with over 500 thumbnail photos, to aid diagnosis according to symptoms, morphology, or body site. Once you have narrowed down the diagnosis, cross-references then guide you to more detailed descriptions, and another 700 photographs, covering: common infections inflammatory rashes non-inflammatory conditions skin lesions Every section provides consistent information on the disorder: who gets it and what causes it? what are the clinical features and does it cause any complications? how do you diagnose it? how do you treat it and how long does it take to resolve? The book concludes with a comprehensive section on further investigations and treatment options. Dermatology Made Easy combines the essential focus of the Made Easy book series with the authority and knowledge base of DermNet New Zealand’s unparalleled resources.

Download or read book Human Temperature Control written by Eugene H. Wissler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal objective of this book is to provide information needed to define human thermal behavior quantitatively. Human thermal physiology is defined using mathematical methods routinely employed by physicists and engineers, but seldom used by physiologists. Major sections of the book are devoted to blood flow, sweating, shivering, heat transfer within the body, and heat and mass transfer from skin and clothing to the environment. Simple algebraic models based on experimental data from a century of physiological investigation are developed for bodily processes. The book offers an invaluable source of information for physiologists and physical scientists interested in quantitative approaches to the fascinating field of human thermoregulation.

Download or read book Skin Friction and Heat Transfer Characteristics of the Compressible Laminar Boundary Layer with Injection of a Light Medium and Heavy Gas written by L. M. Albacete and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of the injection of a light, medium, and heavy gas on the skin friction and heat transfer characteristics of the laminar boundary layer flow over a flat plate were investigated. This was done by a numerical solution of the governing differential equations for injection rate parameters of -0, -0. 1, -0.2; Mach numers from 0 to 3; and wall-to-stream temperature ratios of 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00. The results show that the selection of discrete injection systems must represent a favorable compromise between conflicting factors (such as small molecular weight and large molecular diameters) which influence the amount of reduction in skin friction and heat transfer desired.
Download or read book Hypersonic Turbulent Cold wall Skin friction and Heat transfer Measurements on an Axisymmetric Sharp Cone written by Kuei-Yuan Chien and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent skin-friction coefficients directly measured on an axisymmetric five-degree-half-angle sharp cone by two floating-element skin-friction balances at a free-stream Mach number of 7.9 are presented. Heat-transfer distributions are obtained simultaneously. These results yield directly the Reynolds analogy factor. Experimental data are used to evaluate four predictive methods. Except for the relatively low-Reynolds-number case, the directly measured sharp-cone Reynolds analogy factor is between 1.01 and 1.07, which is in good agreement with recent flat-plate measurements. Results indicate that the Stanton Number is essentially constant for one range and decreases by about 10 percent in another. (Modified author abstract).

Download or read book A Correlation of Heat transfer and Skin friction Data and an Experimental Reynolds Analogy Factor for Highly Cooled Turbulent Boundary Layers at Mach 5 0 written by Donald M. Wilson and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulent boundary-layer heat transfer and skin-friction coefficients were measured on sharp slender cones at a free-stream Mach number of 5.0. Wall-to-stagnation temperature ratios from 0.15 to 0.80 were obtained by precooling or preheating the model. Tests were conducted for a wide range of Reynolds numbers by varying the tunnel supply pressure and temperature, thus providing data for naturally turbulent boundary layers. The experimental results were compared with existing theories which predict convective Stanton number or skin-friction coefficients. These comparisons indicate that the heat-transfer data are best predicted by the Spalding-Chi law and the skin friction by the Sommer-Short reference temperature method. The experimental Reynolds analogy factor is adequately predicted by Colburn's incompressible correlation for wall-to-stagnation temperature ratios above about 0.5. However, for lower wall temperature ratios, the experimental Reynolds analogy factor decreases with decreased temperature ratios in a manner which has not been previously reported. (Author).
