“…Taking into account the kinematic/dynamic viscosity of nitrogen and the curved trajectory, we find that no convection cooling is observed at the crack tip during a time of the order of s on the crack surface. Thus, it is possible to proceed to the consideration of the thermal conductivity equation in view of meeting the criteria of the physical model discussed above [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Heat transfer by the mechanism of thermal conductivity in a solid material with internal heat sources is described by the differential equation of thermal conductivity (6): where is the selected area at the crack tip (see Figure 4 ), is the temperature (K), is the coefficient of specific thermal conductivity (W/(m 2 ·K)), is the specific heat capacity (J/(kg·K)), is the density (kg/m 3 ), and is the thermal power of internal heat sources (J/(s·m 3 )).…”
