Bridging the gap between concepts derived from Second Law of Thermodynamics and their
application to Engineering practice, the property exergy and the exergy balance can be a …

Exergy analysis is applied to assess the energy conversion processes that take place in the
human body, aiming at developing indicators of health and performance based on the …

By checking the reproducibility of conventional mid-infrared Fourier spectroscopy of human
breath in a small test study (15 individuals), we found that a set of volatile organic …

Automotive engines produce pollutant species which has the potential to damage human
health as well as the environment. The toxicity potential of these species depends on the …

Purpose This research aims at studying the influence of a classroom's inner environmental
conditions on undergraduate students' performance using an experimental methodology …

This work proposes exposure limits for carbon monoxide in the nuclear submarine
environment. Linear and non-linear forms of the Coburn-Foster-Kane equation were used to …

This paper reports a study of carbon monoxide sensing properties for a novel
nanocomposite material obtained by intercalation of a mixture of liquid crystal with magnetite …

The effect of altitude on exercise performance of lowlanders has long been discussed, but it
is still unclear whether the performance reduction is related to inefficiency of the respiratory …

The present work evaluates the impact of carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation on the human
lung's exergy behavior by considering different levels of intoxication and amounts of …

This work aims to develop a mathematical model for computing the distribution of
temperature, O 2, and CO 2 in the human body, depending on the ambient conditions. The …
