Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the numerical simulation of a heat exchanger with a numerical model comprising a plurality of elemental volumes such that they all correspond to the same configuration such that the joint of all the elemental volumes reproduces the volume in which heat transfer occurs between a hot fluid and a cold fluid. The simulation method establishes an iterative method on the set of elemental volumes in such a way that the relevant variables of each volume are updated using the data provided by the interpolation module without the need to run a classical simulation on the flow. The result is the assessment of the variables of interest in the entire volume of the heat exchanger for predetermined operating conditions.

Abstract: A system that provides an improved way of scheduling a plurality of imaging tasks in a medical imaging system is disclosed. The system enables a user (i.e. a technician or medical expert) to group different imaging tasks and executes them simultaneously to significantly reduce scan time. These imaging tasks are of different types or are related to different imaging techniques. If different imaging tasks need to be performed substantially at the same location and have substantially same scan time then they can be scheduled simultaneously so that overall scan time can be reduced.
