Experimental Research of Drying Characteristic of Red Banana in a Single Slope Direct Solar Dryer Based on Natural and Forced Convection. [PDF]
Research background. Traditionally, open sun drying method serves to dry the products for long time preservation. Solar drying is also employed to minimise the drying time to achieve the required moisture content.

Cooling PV panels by free and forced convections: Experiments and comparative study
This work concerns a comparative experimental study of cooling PV panels by free and forced convection and using finned plates. To this end, four prototypes are considered: the first one with a PV panel alone without cooling techniques, the second one ...

Effects of rotation and surface forcing on deep stellar convection zones [PDF]
The canonical undestanding of stellar convection has recently been put under doubt due to helioseismic results and global 3D convection simulations. This "convective conundrum" is manifested by much higher velocity amplitudes in simulations at large scales in comparison to helioseismic results, and the difficulty in reproducing the solar differential ...

Effect of Stirring on the Defect-Free Filling of Deep Through-Silicon Vias
Through-silicon-via (TSV) is an advanced 3D electronic integration technology. In order to achieve the defect-free filling of deep TSV, forced convection is commonly applied during TSV filling process.

Strong suppression of electron convection in Dirac and Weyl semimetals [PDF]
It is shown that the convective instability in electron fluids in three- and two-dimensional (3D and 2D) Dirac and Weyl semimetals is strongly inhibited. The major obstacles for electron convection are the effects of the Coulomb forces and the momentum relaxation related to the interaction with impurities and phonons.

Magnetic Forces in Paramagnetic Fluids [PDF]
An overview of the effect of a magnetic field gradient on fluids with linear magnetic susceptibilities is given. It is shown that two commonly encountered expressions, the magnetic field gradient force and the concentration gradient force for paramagnetic species in solution are equivalent for incompressible fluids.

Evaporation of a liquid sessile droplet subjected to forced convection
Experiments on measuring the rate of evaporation of liquid sessile droplets into air show that the rate of evaporation increases in the presence of forced convection flows.
