Heat transfer
Computer simulations are used to assess the impact of thermal insulation on the transfer of heat and moisture in the exterior walls of residential buildings. The effects of internal and external thermal insulation on a room in a terraced family house are compared using the COMSOL Multiphysics software package, evaluating the influence of the placement of expanded polystyrene thermal insulation on the distribution of heat and moisture in the external wall while monitoring the indoor air temperature during the heating and cooling regimes.

The problem of cooling in rescue robots is similar to that of the entire domain of product development involving electronic systems. When considering mission-oriented rescue robots, this issue becomes more severe, as the tolerance to failure is remarkably low. While cooling is considered indispensable, the hazardous environmental condition of the scene of deployment, comprising of water, dust, toxic gases, or fire, constrains the choices of the method.

Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) is an efficient rapid prototyping technology (RPT), a suitable technique with many applications. However, its application for wood product prototyping (WPP), especially in micro-thin wood objects, namely different types of wood veneers, the thermal heat effect emanating from LOM heat sources, challenge the quality of the final 3D wood products.
