Prediction and measurement of temperature fields formed by a small heat source inside liquid are important for various thermal applications such as inductive heating of magnetic particles, crystal growth, laser heating, etc. However, as local temperature differences cause natural convection in many cases, the temperature field becomes complicated, which makes the prediction and measurement more difficult. We thus used the temperature imaging method based on the temperature dependence of the absorption band of water in the near-infrared region to investigate the temperature field around a 1-mm-diameter magnetic sphere under induction heating. Furthermore, to construct a quantitative model of natural convection around the heated sphere, the flow field was measured using particle tracking velocimetry with Kalman filter simultaneously with the temperature field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
