... (Johnson and Christy, 1974); (b) the local Joule heating is found to be predominantly along the polarization direction of the impinging radiation and the steady state temperature profile of the particle (R = 0.5 μm) irradiated with laser power density P₀ = 200 W/cm²...

... the polymer powder waste‐saving standpoint. Research limitations/implications Owing to the software limitation, radiation is the only source of heat transfer in this research (convection and conduction were not considered). Also, a limited number of patterns were examined for the heater design...
