Investigation of Solar Drying of Plantain and Cassava Slices under Natural Convection [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Research, 2016 Solar drying of cassava and plantain under natural convection were investigated in this study. Slices of cassava and plantain weighing 451.2 and 369.8 g respectively were dried in a natural convection solar dryer while equal masses were dried in the open

Horizontal velocity field near the hot plate in turbulent natural convection [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We study the velocity field in a horizontal (x-y) plane 1.5 mm above the hot plate in turbulent natural convection using PIV at a Rayleigh number Raw=106 and Prandtl number Pr=5.2. The plane of measurement is inside the velocity boundary layer estimated from the natural convection boundary layer equations[7] as well as inside the velocity boundary ...

Influence of zero-G on single-cell systems and zero-G fermenter design concepts [PDF]
An analysis was made to identify potential gravity-sensitive mechanisms that may be present in the single-cell growth system. Natural convection (density gradients, induced sedimentation, and buoyancy) is important in microbial systems.

THE PECULIARITIES OF THERMAL INDUCEMENT VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Вестник СибАДИ, 2018 Introduction. For increasing the efficiency of natural ventilation systems, it is possible to use the thermal incentives - additional heating of the exhaust ventilation duct, which allows to expand temperature difference between ambient and exhaust air
