1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study investigated a novel two-color LIF (laser-induced fluorescence) technique for thermometry in coolants relevant for electric components. In principle, this diagnostic enables thermometry in liquid flows but also a simultaneous determination of film thickness and film temperature, which is relevant, e.g., for jet impingement cooled electric components. Temperature measurements are based on a temperature-sensitive intensity ratio of special tracers realized by suitable band pass filters within the respective emission spectra. For this purpose, the heat transfer fluids Fragoltherm F12, Marlotherm LH, and a water-glycol mixture WG20 (80 vol.% water, 20 vol.% glycol) and its individual components were doped with suitable tracers. The tracer Eosin-Y was utilized for polar coolants (water, WG20, and glycol) and Nile red was utilized for non-polar solvents (Fragoltherm F12 and Marlotherm LH). The spectral LIF intensities were recorded for a wide range of temperatures (253-393 K), which are relevant for cooling of electric motors, batteries, and power electronics. Furthermore, absorption spectra were analyzed as well. The temperature-dependent fluorescence measurements revealed different behavior for the polar and non-polar solvents. A temperature increase in the polar solvents (water, WG20, glycol) led to a spectral shift of the emission peaks of Eosin-Y towards longer wavelengths (red-shifted), while the peaks of Nile red in the non-polar solvents (Fragoltherm F12 and Marlotherm LH) showed an opposite behavior and were blue-shifted. The highest average temperature sensitivity was achieved for Marlotherm LH (4.22%/K), followed by glycol (1.99%/K), WG20 (1.80%/K), water (1.62%/K), and Fragoltherm F12 (1.12%/K). These sensitivities are similar to or even much higher than the literature data of other LIF tracers, which were, however, not determined in those coolants. Consequently, the two novel proposed dyes for the studied heat transfer liquids enable a reliable temperature determination.
