Microwave radiation can be used to pre-damage hard rock to reduce the cost of drilling and
excavation typically required in tunneling, mining, and deep Earth energy recovery. A 3D …

This study presents an experimental technique to simultaneously estimate the thermal
conductivity (k) and the specific heat (cp) as functions of temperature of AISI 304 stainless …

Vortex Search (VS) algorithm is a single-solution-based optimization algorithm that requires
the high maximum number of iterations (NOI) to solve optimization problems. In this study …

This paper introduces a novel population-based vortex search algorithm (PVS) to improve
the weakness of the global search capability of the original Vortex Search (VS) algorithm …

This article describes an experimental and straightforward technique towards the
simultaneous estimation of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat of …

In this work, we show the development of a numerical model to investigate the 3D
interactions between microwave radiation and basalt, granite, and sandstone rock samples …

In this paper, a new method is used based on polynomials equipped with a parameter to
solve two parabolic inverse problems. These inverse problems have nonlocal boundary …

In this work was used infrared imagery to estimate thermal properties of solid materials. The
Two Superficial Hot Points Technique (TSHP) was proposed and it uses heat flux and …

This paper presents an experimental inverse approach to simultaneously estimate the
temperature-dependent thermal properties of AISI 316 stainless steel. The heat flux …
