The transportation sector in Brazil is a significant consumer of energy. This consumption
progressed at a regular speed, even though vehicles individually become more efficient …

The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive thermodynamic model of the
human respiratory system and quantify the effects of inspiratory air temperature, relative …

Over the past decades, thermodynamics concepts applied to biological systems, such as the
human body, have aided in explaining their functioning. The first law of thermodynamics is …

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning during pregnancy is a rare occurrence, associated with
high maternal and fetal mortality rates. As CO can cross the placenta, leading to intrauterine …

A comparative study of the three main methods for inducing hypothermia in post-cardiac
arrest patients is performed. A human thermal model from the literature is adapted to …

The combination of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics results in exergy, a size that
quantitatively represents the ability to do useful work. Whenever energy is used, in …

In this paper, the topic of human catabiosis has been explored from the vantage of
thermodynamics. Research works on human catabiosis based on non-equilibrium …
