Is posible to use a Unsteady State Heat Transfer Dimensionless Value to aid in the understanding of how the heat of the fire influences the mortality of the stems of tree plants?
Heat flow inside plant tissues is always difficult to calculate because you have different layers with different moisture contents and physical properties. have you seen the ones below for more complex calculations?
