Ugalj kao fosilno gorivo sadrži brojne prirodne radioaktivne izotope koji pripadaju uranovom i torijumovom nizu, kao i 40K. Najviše se koristi u industriji, kao i u proizvodnji energije. Problem u vezi sa proizvodnjom energije iz uglja je takozvani „energetski otpad“, kao što su pepeo i šljaka, koji predstavljaju nesagorivi i nesagoreli ostatak pri sagorevanja uglja. Ako se pepeo i šljaka odlažu u životnu sredinu, može doći do povećanja i/ili preraspodele prirodnog sadržaja radionuklida. Da bi se utvrdio potencijalni uticaj „energetskog otpada“ na životnu sredinu, uzorci uglja, pepela i šljake iz termoelektrana „Nikola Tesla“ i „Kolubara“ mereni su poluprovodničkim HPGe spektrometrom u Laboratoriji za nuklearnu i plazmu fiziku Instituta „Vinča“. Kao rezultat ovih merenja, dobijene su koncentracije prirodnih radionuklida i veštačkog radionuklida 137Cs kao, što je prikazano u ranije objavljenim radovima. Prikazani rezultati su u saglasnosti sa istraživanjima sprovedenim širom sveta. Da bi se obezbedila tačnost i preciznost (pouzdanost) dobijenih rezultata merenja, u okviru Laboratorije uspostavljen je program kontrole kvaliteta (QC) i osiguranja kvaliteta (QA). Interna kontrola obuhvata proveru karakteristika poluprovodničkog HPGe spektrometra koji se koristi za merenje svih analiziranih uzoraka. Tačkasti izvori 60Co i 137Cs se koriste kao kontrolni izvori za proveru položaja pika, ukupne površine ispod pika, FWHM (puna širina na polovini maksimuma pika), FWTM (puna širina na desetini maksimuma pika) i odnos FWHM/FWTM. Pored navedenih karakteristika, redovno se kontroliše i ukupni odbroj prirodnog fona. Svaka od navedenih karakteristika može ukazati na neku nepravilnost u radu detektorskog sistema. Cilj ovograda je da se prikažu kontrolne karte ispitivanih karakteristika poluprovodničkog HPGe spektrometra korišćenog za merenje uzoraka uglja, pepela i šljake. Dobijene kontrolne karte predstavljaju važan alat na osnovu kojeg se analizira dugoročna stabilnost spektrome, eir daughter products, as well as 40K. It is widely used in industry as well as in energy pro-duction. The problems associated with the production of energy from coal is the so-called “energy waste”, such as ash and slag, which are incombustible and unburnt residue from combustion of coal. If ash and slag are released into the environment an increase and/or redistribution of natural radio-nuclide content can occur. To determine the potential impact of “energy waste” on the environment, samples of coal, ash, and slag from thermal power plant "Nikola Tesla" and "Kolubara" were meas-ured with a semiconductor HPGe spectrometer. Results of activity concentration of natural radionu-clides and artificial 137Cs in coal, slag and ash are presented in few previously published papers and obtained values are in accordance with similar worldwide investigations. o ensure the accuracy and precision (reliability) ofthe obtained measurement results, quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) program were established. Internal control includes check-ing of the characteristics of HPGe spectrometer used for measurement of all analysed samples. Point sources of 60Co and 137Cs are used as control sources for checking following characteristics: peak positions, net peak area, FWHMs (Full Width at Half Maximum), FWTMs (Full Width at Tenth Max-imum) and FWHM/FWTM ratios. In addition to the mentioned characteristics, the counting of back-ground is also regularly controlled. Each of the mentioned characteristics may indicate some irreg-ularity in the operation of the detector system and thus could influence reliability of performed activ-ity concentration measurements.The paper presents the control charts of the examined characteristics of the HPGe spectrometer used for measurements of coal, ash and slag samples. The obtained control charts indicate the long-term stability of the spectrometer and hence confirm accuracy and precision of measurement results.

In recent years, the City of Los Angeles has been leading the efforts to combat Urban Heat. In particular, the City outlined a goal of reducing the urban-rural temperature differential by 3°F by 2035 (Sustainable City pLAn, 2015). To achieve this goal, the Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA), initiated the installation of solar reflective 'Cool Pavements' across fifteen City Council Districts. The report draws upon three empirical research methods to examine the thermal comfort of the novel Cool Pavements Project in the Sun Valley neighborhood in Los Angeles. For this study, Sun Valley site was selected because the area received three different treatments of the Cool Pavements, and has a patch of regular asphalt pavement within the same neighborhood block.

Sugar-containing foods offered at cooler temperatures tend to be less appealing to many animals. However, the mechanism through which the gustatory system senses thermal input and integrates temperature and chemical signals to produce a given behavioral output is poorly understood. To study this fundamental problem, we used the fly, Drosophila melanogaster. We found that the palatability of sucrose is strongly reduced by modest cooling. Using Ca2+ imaging and electrophysiological recordings, we demonstrate that bitter gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) and mechanosensory neurons (MSNs) are activated by slight cooling, although sugar neurons are insensitive to the same mild stimulus. We found that a rhodopsin, Rh6, is expressed and required in bitter GRNs for cool-induced suppression of sugar appeal. Our findings reveal that the palatability of sugary food is reduced by slightly cool temperatures through different sets of thermally activated neurons, one of which depends on a rhodopsin (Rh6) for cool sensation.

We often think of “cool” as an imperative of youth. But what does it mean to think of “cool” in relation to the aging body? This essay engages the shifting aesthetics of aging bodies asking what this view of the self and identity signals and in what contexts? In philosophy and political theory aging is rarely studied in terms of views of the self, experience, or aesthetics; more frequently we see aging in terms of demographics, workers past their prime, or in a framework of decline. I argue that there is an emerging “cool” aesthetics of aging bodies that is not simply about chasing youth. These aesthetics revolve in particular around what aging bodies wear, or do not wear. That is, fashion in terms of clothing, accessories, dress, and ways to augment assisting tools (canes for example) has an outsized role in the aesthetics of the aging body. Although who ages well and how, and who can dress well and how, are shaped by nation, gender, class, religion, and other social identity categories, aging is an identity still undertheorized in fashion and political philosophy.

“I’m cool … / That’s cool … / He/She’s the coolest ...:” exclamations like these have described various types of elements: names, things, cities, characters, in a constant search of novelty and more à la page, more exciting and, of course, more niche. Who is cool is unique, unrepeatable but with a lot of imitators who sublimate the image and reverberate through many different means of communication: from the traditional to the contemporary, from the mass media to the most elite channels. But what identifies a person, a product, or a city as cool? Is it a strategy? Is it marketing or a spontaneous attitude? Is it one of these things or a combination of them? Starting from this assumption and from some emblematic case studies from the worlds of fashion, art, music, and in general all the creative fields (from the Marchesa Casati to Frida Kahlo, from Anna Piaggi to Miuccia Prada, from the “presence” of John Galliano and Maurizio Cattelan to the “absence” of Martin Margiela and Banksy, from Virgil Abloh’s multitasking attitude to Alessandro Michele’s conceptual retro-aesthetics, from Tamara de Lempicka’s “being cool and famous strategy” to the analysis of the trends’ life cycle, from the movie parodies of Totò (the Neapolitan actor) to Steve Jobs’s cool-nerd aesthetics and the design of contemporary new icons, this paper intends to investigate the roots behind the construction of coolness. This is a concept, that to be long-term and broadly resilient and not to be lost in “the long tail” of niches and subcultures, requires, now more than ever, solid cultural foundations and distinct elements wisely mixed.

The cool minimalism of the 1960s and 1970s was an attempt to democratise art and open the work to the audience. From a general socio-political perspective it was part of the struggle to overturn hierarchies and create a shared activism that would bring about a new society and world order. The cool media of the art scene were thus part of a passionate political movement. Concrete poetry wanted to foster a new corporeal sensibility that would involve readers in the performative completion of the work, as an erotic act of reading as well as a personal act of imagination. But readers were not necessarily willing to step into the “open work” and provide the bodily warmth and mental energy needed to see the “undramatic emptiness” of concrete poetry as “attractive or even beautiful” and to imagine “what sense of life is implied” (Nielsen). Although both writers and theorists imagined the “new cycle of relations between the artist and his audience”, the “new mechanics of aesthetic perception”, and the resulting “different status for the artistic product in contemporary society” (Eco) would happen spontaneously as part of the ongoing social and technological changes, more time and training was needed for such avant-garde practices to become sufficiently familiar for readers to recognise the warmth beneath the cool surface.

The Ironman triathlon consists of a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike, and 42.195 km run. Thermoregulation responses play an important role in performance optimization and injury prevention. Factors such as environmental conditions including heat and humidity, athlete training level, and race duration can affect thermoregulation. Hyperthermia occurs when the core temperature rises above 38.5 degrees C. The present study aims to describe core temperature (Tcore) in top-level and well-trained age group triathletes during the marathon of Ironman World Championship 2014 in Kona-Hawaii under thermal stress conditions. Tcore of 15 triathletes (age: 36.11 +/- 7.36 years, body mass: 71.14 +/- 7.12 kg, height: 179 +/- 0.04 cm, and fat %: 8.48 +/- 0.85) who classified for the Ironman World Championship was measured by an ingestible pill telemetry system prior to competition, during the marathon and 60 min after finishing the race. Mean wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) during the marathon was 24.66 degrees C (range 22.44-28.50 degrees C). Body mass index (BMI) and perceived exertion (Borg Scale and Visual Analog Scale-Pain) were collected before the race and 60 min after the event. Time variables were extracted from their official race time and split times. Finish time was 10: 06:56 +/- 0:48:30. Tcore was initially 36.62 +/- 0.17 degrees C, increased at the end of the event (38.55 +/- 0.64; p < 0.01) and remained elevated 60 min after the event (38.65 +/- 0.41 degrees C; p < 0.002). BMI significantly decreased after the event (22.85 +/- 1.11 vs. 21.73 +/- 1.36; p < 0.05), whereas both exercise perceived exertion [Borg Scale (10.2 +/- 1.64 vs. 18.60 +/- 1.67; p < 0.003)] and perceived muscle pain [VAS Pain (2.75 +/- 1.59 vs. 9.08 +/- 1.13; p < 0.001)] increased significantly after the event. Tcore during competition correlated negatively with position in age group (r - 0.949, p = 0.051), but not with race time (r = -0.817; p = 0.183). High-level age group triathletes competing under th

This report outlines the key outcomes of research project RP1037u1 ‘Above-Roof Temperature Impacts on Heating Penalties of Large Cool Roofs in Australian Climates’, an extension to project RP1037 ‘Driving increased utilisation of cool roofs on large-footprint buildings’. The research has been focused on two key aspects of roof thermal performance that had, up until the time of writing, not been taken into account in most investigations into cool roof technology: 1. The condensation and evaporation of dew on the roof surface, and the effect this has on roof temperature by way of: a. The latent heat that is absorbed and released; and b. Any change in the effective radiative-optical properties of the roof top surface due to accumulated water. 2. The effect of roof temperature on above-roof air temperatures, and the influence this can have on the performance of rooftop heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment. A review of relevant literature (included in this report) did not reveal any previous studies that had investigated both 1a and 1b, above.

Signaled in its reputation as a “hookup app” or “sex app,” the mobile dating app Tinder has been accused of having ignited “hookup culture” associated with superficiality and sexual innuendo. However, little is known about how Tinder has obtained this notoriety and what Tinder is actually responsible for. This study analyzes talks about Tinder on Reddit (/r/Tinder), as part of Tinder culture where Tinder discourse and norms are established and shared in relation to broader youth pairing culture. Through a lens of feminist media scholarship, I show that an association between Tinder and hookups is couched in a gendered code of conduct, coolness. I argue that this gendered coolness in the economy of visibility of Tinder evokes and justifies misogyny online in line with the sexism inherent to hookup culture.

HEAT WAVES is a collection of confessional poetry exploring themes of masculinity, maturation, loss, consumerism, the growing disparity between the speaker and his family, and American identity. The collection is divided into three sections. The poems in the first section deal with childhood, friendship, and coming of age in Southwest Florida. The second section deals with family and considers the contrast between the beliefs, educational backgrounds, and career of the speaker’s father and the speaker himself. The final section explores 21st century America and its issues including environmental damage, consumerism, and alienation.

This is the final report for the Driving Increased Utilisation of Cool Roofs on Large Footprint Buildings project, providing case studies about how cool roof technology reduces the amount of heat transmitted into buildings on hot days, and in turn the amount of air-conditioning required for cooling.

Millennials are not as committed to charity as the generations before them. Millennials have also been proven very difficult to attract, which is problematic since Millennials are the future donors’ charity organizations must depend on. The purpose of this study is therefore to identify possible patterns, relationships and opportunities that would make Millennials donate to charity. The study presents the current situation of charity on the Swedish market, which follows by an introduction for how non-profit promote themselves and do their marketing. This leads to the research question: How should charity organizations promote themselves to get Millennials to become loyal? This study applies a qualitative research strategy. The primary data has been collected through semi-structured interviews with five representatives from five different charity organizations. All five organizations work with international projects. The result shows that the five organizations have knowledge about how to market to attract and engage Millennials, but they do not apply this knowledge. The result presents four paradoxes. We consider that the perception of these paradoxes, as well as responding to them, determines the charity organizations outcomes and overall ability to attract Millennials. The result also shows that to engage with Millennials and create long-lasting relationships, charity organizations marketing must be innovative, cool, and creative with repetitive messages. Charity organizations also must use the communication channels that Millennials engage with. The result has given rise to the "Interactional Model for Targeting Millennials", which is built on 11 key factors that charity organizations must apply to establish, develop and maintain a relationship with Millennials.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework of cool for social marketing through a comprehensive literature review and integrating extant literature on cool. Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive search and review of extant literature across social marketing, business disciplines, arts, psychology, social sciences and humanities was undertaken to develop an understanding of cool and its relevance to social marketing. The review permitted developing a comprehensive set of characteristics that are associated with cool. FindingsA conceptual framework of cool organised according to the following dimensions is presented and discussed: deviating from norm, self-expressive, indicative of maturity, subversive, pro-social, evasive, and attractive. Originality/valueThis paper advances theoretical knowledge in the social marketing domain by offering a conceptual framework of cool, and by suggesting a set of guidelines to develop cool social marketing programs. © 2016, © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Mainstream literature shows that demand for counterfeit luxury brand products is primarily driven by consumers who want the status and image of luxury brands without the price tag. However, emerging evidence suggests that the interest of some consumers may be somewhat independent of the replicated brand. To date, the literature does not necessarily offer an alternate, or complementary, theory for these anomalous results. The current study proposes that the theory of 'cool consumption' by Generation Y helps to explain atypical demand for counterfeits. The cool consumption ideals of fun, rebellion and being a bit bad appear to fit with emerging evidence that some consumers see using counterfeits as fun and a way to go against the mainstream. A survey of 251 Gen Y young adults examines whether their consumption relates more closely to counterfeit-oriented attitudes, norms and beliefs than attitudes towards the genuine brand and price considerations. The research also compares counterfeit owners and non-owners in terms of genuine brand evaluations and loyalty to counterfeits in general. Overall, the findings show that for this segment, consuming counterfeit luxury products is more about the counterfeit aspects than brands or price, and the theory of cool consumption provides a plausible explanation for the results.

The following article aims to clarify the concept of transient energy as heat when received or emitted by the human body which activates the thermoregulatory system making a person feel "hot" or "cold" respectively. Mechanical engineers use these concepts and relate to the design of air conditioning systems of buildings and vehicles in order to achieve thermal comfort in people who occupy those spaces., El siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo aclarar el concepto de la energía transitoria en forma de calor cuando es recibida o emitida por el cuerpo humano la cual activa el sistema termorregulador haciendo que una persona sienta “calor” o “frío”, respectivamente. Los ingenieros mecánicos utilizan estos conceptos y los relacionan al diseño de los sistemas de climatización de edificaciones y medios de transporte con la finalidad de lograr la comodidad térmica en las personas que ocupan esos espacios.

A year ago this week, the ageing, doctrinaire and aristocratic Pope, Benedict XVI, shocked keen Vatican watchers and the public alike by his sudden resignation. Few were prepared for the shockwaves that would follow. The church had become embroiled in scandal after scandal: from corruption at the Vatican Bank through to its continuing refusal to deal with sexual abuse. It had lost, many would have thought irretrievably, what little relevance it still claimed in the contemporary world. So nobody would have predicted that, less than a year later, Benedict’s successor would be lauded as Person of the Year by both Time magazine and, even more surprisingly, the lesbian and gay newsweekly, The Advocate. Then one-time-youth-culture bible Rolling Stone’s cover story earlier this year made it official: the man Gawker dubbed “cool Pope Francis” is a rock star.

This case study outlines a methodology that combines vox pop style interviews, hand-drawn maps and specialised computer mapping techniques to produce a threedimensional representation of a city's cultural vitality - as judged by its residents. In 2009, CAMRA researchers conducted a 'mapping lounge' at Wollongong's largest annual festival, gathering stories and maps that identified over 2300 cool and creative places, spread across the city. The data revealed the localised nature of 'creativity', and the value of small-scale, decentralised cultural infrastructure.

Australia's "big three" surf brands have found themselves in choppy financial waters. Last week, Billabong, one of Australia's most iconic surf brands confirmed a $386 million refinancing agreement with US consortium Centerbridge-Oaktree Capital Management acquiring a 40% share, guaranteeing the struggling brand's short-term future after it posted an $859 million loss last financial year. Like Billabong, public surf company Quiksilver has reported declining revenues, asset write-downs and growing losses, recently announcing third-quarterly earnings had declined 84%. Privately-owned Rip Curl has also been in profit free-fall. In mid-2012 Rip Curl founders Brian Singer and Doug Warbrick engaged Bank of America Merrill Lynch to help source a prospective buyer for the brand. The planned sale was abandoned in March with a lack of interest at the asking price of $400 million. The current woes are a long way from the heady days of the 1990s and 2000s, which saw each of the big three surf brands aggressively pursue international expansion and high-profile sports sponsorship deals. So, why have the Big Three surf brands found themselves struggling? And what is the way to calmer waters?

This article stems from a project examining cultural assets in Wollongong - a medium-sized Australian city with a decentralized and linear suburban pattern that challenges orthodox binaries of inner-city bohemia/outer-suburban domesticity. In Wollongong we documented community perceptions of cultural assets across this unusual setting, through a simple public research method. At the city's largest annual festival we recruited the general public to nominate the city's most 'cool' and 'creative' places, by drawing on a map of Wollongong and telling their stories. Hand-drawn maps from 205 participants were combined in a Geographical Information System and 50 hours of stories transcribed for qualitative analysis. Over 2300 places were identified. Among them were some surprising results: although places known for the arts and bohemian creative industries figured prominently, these were not only in the inner-city but in beachside suburbs with unique cultural histories. Also, a range of affective engagements with place, including unconventional forms of creativity, were described in industrial and blue-collar suburbs. Network topology analysis by place of residence also revealed the extent of localism, as well as specializations and aggrandizements among suburbs. Our conclusions are threefold: first, that 'creativity' is relationally situated and linked across all parts of the city; second, that decentralized forms of small-scale cultural infrastructure provision are vital for vernacular cultural pursuits; and, third, that 'creativity' is a polysemic and contested category - only ever partially revealing the contours of cultural vitality in the suburbs.

Introduction: Patient coolingtime can impact upon the prognosis of heat illness. Although ice-cold-water immersion will rapidly extract heat, access to ice or cold water may be limited in hot climates. Indeed, some have concerns regarding the sudden cold-water immersion of hyperthermic individuals, whereas others believe that cutaneous vasoconstriction may reduce convective heat transfer from the core. It was hypothesized that warmer immersion temperatures, which induce less powerful vasoconstriction, may still facilitate rapid cooling in hyperthermic individuals. Methods: Eight males participated in three trials and were heated to an esophageal temperature of 39.5[degrees]C by exercising in the heat (36[degrees]C, 50% relative humidity) while wearing a water-perfusion garment (40[degrees]C). Subjects were cooled using each of the following methods: air (20-22[degrees]C), cold-water immersion (14[degrees]C), and temperate-water immersion (26[degrees]C). Results: The time to reach an esophageal temperature of 37.5[degrees]C averaged 22.81 min (air), 2.16 min (cold), and 2.91 min (temperate). Whereas each of the between-trial comparisons was statistically significant (P < 0.05), cooling in temperate water took only marginally longer than that in cold water, and one cannot imagine that the 45-s cooling time difference would have any meaningful physiological or clinical implications. Conclusion: It is assumed that this rapid heat loss was due to a less powerful peripheral vasoconstrictor response, with central heat being more rapidly transported to the skin surface for dissipation. Although the core-to-water thermal gradient was much smaller with temperate-water cooling, greater skin and deeper tissue blood flows would support a superior convective heat delivery. Thus, a sustained physiological mechanism (blood flow) appears to have countered a less powerful thermal gradient, resulting in clinically insignificant differences in heat extraction between the cold and tempe

In fashion, as in the rest of the economy, the globalisation of taste, power and production now plays a major role. The industry is dominated by fashion capitals like Paris, London or New York, populated by star designers like Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld or Jean-Paul Gaultier and controlled through MNC giants like Prada, Gucci, DKNY and Dior, who together influence consumer preferences on a global scale. However, there are numerous smaller actors that compete successfully in the fashion industry. Sweden is one such example, where fashion is a growing. In this thesis, there is a focus on group of small and medium sized Swedish fashion firms with a brand focused business strategy. Their products are design intensive, but their main competitive advantage rests on the brand and brand management. This group of firms are proficient at ‘putting fashion into clothes’ (Weller 2004). In other words, their main competitive advantage rests neither on price, nor on the most experimental design. More exactly, they produce clothes for a fashion conscious but not too adventurous consumer group. In the thesis it is argued that they are better described as trend forerunners than as trend setters. The subject of this thesis is this group of firms within the Swedish fashion industry and the aim is to improve understanding of their innovation processes, competitiveness, and the systemic character of the business they are a part of. As with most other fashion firms in high cost countries, Swedish companies has outsourced the garment production. They secure their competitive edge through high value added activities like design, marketing and retail. This points to the fact that fashion has both material and immaterial dimensions: it relates to clothing, design, textile and quality, but also to consumers’ subjective feelings and attitudes towards the clothes and their brands. This is a study of the interface between these dimensions, with a focal point on the production of immaterial and symb

The aim of this paper is to discuss how the masculinity position cool boy is articulated in interviews, and performed in lessons and playground activities among boys in three Swedish primary school classes and are discussed by three teenage boys. Taking point of departure in Feminist poststructuralism, Queer theory and Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities the focus is directed at ambivalences and contradictions in the discourses constituting the subjects position boy. The position cool boy can be understood as fluid, classed, ethnicified and sexualised position that is both articulated as a stereotypical masculinity position performed as opposition to school and teachers discipline and as a subversive, masculinity position contesting and questioning this stereotypical masculinity. The paper is a report from a project in progress, Becoming a Real Boy, studying how masculinity and masculinity hierarchies are constructed and embodied in preschool, in primary school and in leisure activities

Problematika této diplomové práce pojednává o chlazení asynchronních strojů. Konkrétně výpočtem chlazení asynchronního motoru pomocí metody konečných objemů. Pomocí programu Autodesk Inventor vytvoříme 3D model reálného elektrického stroje, tedy asynchronního motoru a následně v programu ANSYS WORKBENCH provedeme systémovou analýzu CFX, založenou na metodě konečných objemů. Dále uskutečníme měření rychlosti proudění vzduchu na konkrétním stroji a jednotlivé výsledky získané měřením a samotným výpočtem mezi sebou porovnáme. Diplomová práce se také okrajově zabývá výpočtem oteplení asynchronního motoru, protože samotné chlazení s ním úzce souvisí. Na stejný model stroje aplikujeme výpočet teplotních polí pomocí metody konečných objemů a následně provedeme teplotní analýzu. Dále pak uskutečníme měření teploty na samotném motoru a vypočtené i změřené hodnoty mezi s sebou porovnáme., The issue this master’s thesis discusses the cooling synchronous machines. Specifically, the calculation of cooling induction motor using the finite volume method. Using Autodesk Inventor will create a 3D model of a real electric machine, ie asynchronous motor and then ANSYS WORKBENCH perform system analysis CFX, based on the finite volume method. Furthermore, we realize the air speed measurements on a particular machine and the individual results obtained by measuring and calculating the actual compared with each other. The master’s thesis also deals marginally with closely related to it. For the same machine model, we apply the calculation of the temperature fields using the finite volume method and them perform a thermal analysis. Next, we can carry out the measurement of the temperature on the motor itself and calculate the measured values and the measured compare each other.
