How forest fires kill trees: A review of the fundamental biophysical processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the fundamental biophysical processes that link fire behavior to tree mortality is presented, with a brief introduction to heat transfer theory and a discussion on how fire behavior is linked to injuries in the tree roots, bole and crown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-fluid-dynamics of submerged jets impinging at short nozzle-to-plate distance: A review
TL;DR: In this article, some of the experimental contributions evolved while studying the heat transfer behavior of these jets (with a specific focusing on the secondary annular peak) are reviewed, along with the development of specific experimental techniques in thermal-fluid sciences over the last 50 years.

Going below the wet-bulb temperature by indirect evaporative cooling: Analysis using a modified ε-NTU method
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model is developed based on the effectivenessNTU method (e-NTU) for achieving sub-wet bulb temperature by indirect evaporative cooling of air by indirectly precooling the working air before it enters the wet passage.
