The Prandtl number over several orders of magnitude (5 < Pr <10 3) as well as different Knudsen number (0 < Kn <0.1) and different modified Brinkman number (-0.1 < Br <0.1) are considered. The momentum and energy equations are solved for first order boundaries of slip velocity and temperature jump. The influences of the Prandtl number, Knudsen number and Brinkman number on the temperature distribution and heat transfer characteristics are discussed.

Condenser in a housing was assumed to be cooled by an exhaust fan. This configuration is in accordance with a number of practical applications. Flow inside the housing was assumed turbulent. The fluid was assumed to be incompressible and Newtonian. The governing equations were solved by a computational fluid mechanics simulation software. The results show that when the pitch between the coils is increased, the heat transfer performance increases significantly. An increase of 27% in heat transfer rate is seen when the pitch value is increased from 6mm to 10mm. Further increase in the pitch value from 10mm to 12mm provides an extra 9% increase in heat transfer rate. As the increase in pitch value also increases condenser length, the pitch value of 10mm can be considered an optimum value when there is a strong restriction on space in chassis region.

The thermoelectric cooler is assumed to be mounted on the left sidewall of the enclosure. The right sidewall of the enclosure is at constant temperature and horizontal walls are adiabatic. Flow is assumed to be two dimensional, Newtonian, and incompressible. Governing equations are derived using Boussinesq approximation. Computational results are obtained for values of electric current ranging from 2 to 8A. The results show that a thermal plume develops at the bottom left part of the enclosure in the early stage of the flow. Flow field consists of a counter clockwise cell. As the electric current and hence the heat flux on the left wall of the enclosure increases, a secondary circulation cell develops at the bottom part of the enclosure as a result of the thermal plume. With the thermoelectric cooler, very low temperatures can be reached within a relatively short time.

The governing equations obtained with the Boussinesq approximation are solved using Comsol Multiphysics finite element analysis and simulation software. Computational results are obtained for nanoparticle solid volume fraction in the range of 0%-8% and for Rayleigh number in the range of 10 5-10 7. The results show that temperature inside the enclosure decreases considerably when nanoparticles are used in the cylindrical electronic control. The results also show that temperature inside the enclosure decreases substantially with an increase in the Rayleigh number.

Stream function, swirl velocity and temperature were expanded in series of time. The general results were applied to a spinning sphere to determine the effects of surface transpiration and buoyancy on the velocity and temperature fields in the case of forced convection and to investigate the type of boundary layer flow regimes in the case of free convection. Keywords: Spinning bodies, unsteady, boundary layer, laminar and separated flow 1. Introduction Boundary-layer flow over spinning bodies of revolution has important engineering applications involving projectile motion, reentry missile behaviour and rotary machine design. The flow field is greatly affected by the rotation of the body. In the case of a bluff body, the boundary layer separates and the flow field becomes more complex. The centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the body is known to facilitate and speed up the flow separation. Surface blowing and suction also influence the onset of separation providing a boundary-layer control mechanism. Furthermore when the temperature difference between the surface and the fluid is large and the velocity is small, the buoyancy force due to the density variation interacts with the centrifugal force altering the velocity field. In the case of free convection from a heated vertical body spinning in an otherwise quiescent fluid, interaction between the buoyancy and the centrifugal forces determines the boundary layer flow regimes. The number of solutions of the boundary-layer flows including the swirl velocity is very few. Flow about a spinning body of revolution has been investigated by Illingworth (1), Chu and Tifford (2). Schlichting (3) and Hoskin (4). These are all momentum-integral approximations and of uncertain accuracy. Measurements of Luthander and Rydberg (5) and the study of Hoskin (4) show that there is a marked influence of rotation on drag and separation on a spinning sphere in an axial stream. The problem of mixed convection about a rotating sphere in a stream has been investigated by Rajasekaran and Palekar (6). Tile results show that velocity profiles affected by buoyancy display an overshoot beyond a local free stream velocity for aiding flow. Le Palec and Daguenet (7) have used power series expansions for the stream function and temperature to study the laminar mixed convection about an isothermal rotating sphere in a stream of arbitrary direction with respect to the axis of rotation and solved the boundary layer equations numerically. Mixed convection over a spinning sphere with blowing and suction has been investigated numerically by Lien et al (8) and Wang and KleinstrelJer (9) to show that the wall suction and body rotation enhances heat transfer for aiding flow.

One of the drying methods that gained popularity in recent years is microwave drying. Accordingly, in this study, microwave drying behavior of mushroom slices in various thicknesses was studied experimentally for various microwave power levels. In the study, 90W and 360W were selected as microwave power level, and 2mm, 4mm and 6mm were selected as slice thickness. During the experiment, the amount of moisture removed from the product was determined by weight measurements with a scale mounted to microwave oven. Experimental results show that microwave power has a significant effect on the drying rate of product and decreases the drying time considerably. The results also show that the effect of slice thickness is relatively small as compared with the microwave power level. The results also indicate that the Midilli et al. model is an appropriate model to describe the moisture content during microwave drying of mushroom slices. A color analysis was also conducted in this study in order to examine the effect of microwave drying on product quality in terms of color. The results show that there is a decrease in the color quality of the product due to the microwave drying.

Drying process is generally performed by heating ambient air and then sending it by forced convection over the rough rice to be dried. The aim in heating air to a certain temperature is to reduce the relative humidity of the air, which has a positive effect on the drying potential. In this study, drying behavior of single layer rough rice for different drying air temperature was simulated by means of a liquid diffusion model numerically by finite element modeling and simulation software. The results show that temperature is an effective factor on the drying rate. The results also show that as drying proceeds, a moisture gradient develops within the grain. This slows down the drying rate considerably. Therefore, it can be concluded that performing drying with an intermittent period instead of continuous drying will cause a considerable energy-saving.

Stacks of rough rice having different heights were dried with a forced convection of warm air and the time rate of change of the bulk moisture ratio was experimentally determined. A theoretical model developed for a single ...
