.... Since a dimensionless solution is used in this research, the effect of various values of dimensionless convection coefficients, or Biot number values, are explored. An understandable concern with a general analytical solution is the effect of the choice of convection coefficients on the precision...

... a passive process) or time varying internal heat generation induced by a magnetic field (representing an active magnetic process). The governing equations are nondimensionalized and the efficiency of the sphere is presented as a function of the Fourier number and Biot number. Results . An approximate...
