Hot Air Blower

A hot air blower is an engineering device that heats and directs a controlled stream of air for processes requiring localized thermal energy. An electric heating element raises the air temperature, while a fan or impeller moves it through a nozzle; adjustable temperature and airflow settings control heat transfer to the target surface. Hot air blowers are used for drying, softening, shrinking, stripping coatings, forming thermoplastics, and reworking soldered components. Their ability to deliver repeatable, contact-free heating makes them valuable in manufacturing, maintenance, electronics, and laboratory operations, where precise control helps protect materials and improve process efficiency.

Source: Robert M. Rioux & Suprita Jharimune, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA Working with extreme temperatures, both high and low, is an integral part of many laboratory operations. For many, mentioning a laboratory instantly evokes the mental picture of a Bunsen burner. Bunsen burners and hot plates are used extensively in small and large operations in research laboratories and industries, thus making it necessary for all users to be aware of their safe handling...

Hot Wire Anemometry

Source: Ricardo Mejia-Alvarez and Hussam Hikmat Jabbar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI Hot-wire anemometers have a very short time-response, which makes them ideal to measure rapidly fluctuating phenomena such as turbulent flows. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the use of hot-wire anemometry.

Hot Weather Concreting

Concreting at elevated temperatures accelerates the hydration process, leading to quicker setting but potentially reducing the long-term strength of the concrete structure. Additionally, low air humidity fosters rapid moisture loss from the concrete, resulting in reduced workability, pronounced plastic shrinkage, and a higher likelihood of crazing. Mitigating the heat increase in concrete can be economically achieved by shading aggregate stockpiles to prevent heating from solar radiation,...
