Researchers from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University have designed an experimental system that shows exposure of SARS-CoV-2 to a very high temperature, even if applied for less than a second, can be sufficient to neutralize the virus so that it can no longer infect another human host. Their process works by heating one section of a stainless-steel tube, through which the coronavirus-containing solution is run, to a high temperature and then cooling the section immediately afterward. if the solution is heated to nearly 72 degrees Celsius for about half a second, it can reduce the virus titer, or quantity of the virus in the solution, by 100,000 times which is sufficient to neutralize the virus and prevent transmission.

[this is in experimental stage. from this, they have to develop equipment that can be usable practically. just putting some heat does not kill virus. scientifically proven equipment or process have to be built based on this finding.]
