An improved technology in utilizing solar energy for drying grain is the use of solar driers where the air is heated in a solar collector and then passed through beds of grain. There are two basic types of solar drier appropriate for use with grain : natural convection driers where the air flow is induced by thermal gradients; and forced convection driers wherein air is forced through a solar collector and the grain bed by a fan. 2, record 2, English, - solar%20dryer

Convection. Process of heat [(transfer of heat) ] carried from one point to another by movement of a liquid or a gas(i. e., air). Natural convection is caused by expansion of the liquid or gas when heated. Expansion reduces the density of the medium, causing it to rise above the cooler, more dense portions of the medium. Gravity heating systems are examples of the profitable use of natural convection. The air, heated by the furnace, becomes less dense(consequently lighter) and rises, distributing heat to the various areas of the house without any type of blower. When a blower is used, the heat transfer method is called "forced convection. " 5, record 8, English, - natural%20convection

Une installation de chauffage comporte toujours un ou plusieurs appareils générateurs de chaleur [...] Une installation de chauffage dit «central» comporte, en outre : un réseau de distribution qui permet de véhiculer la chaleur par l'intermédiaire d'un fluide chauffant vers les divers locaux desservis par l'installation; des émetteurs de chaleur qui, au niveau du local à chauffer, cèdent à ce local la chaleur dont il a besoin. Une installation de chauffage peut aussi comporter un ou plusieurs appareils mécaniques qui assurent ou accélèrent la circulation du fluide chauffant. 1, record 11, French, - installation%20de%20chauffage%20central

Another remaining major barrier to heat transfer in steam cooking has been the condensate that normally forms on the food. Cleveland has overcome this problem with forced convection steam. The turbulent force of the steam literally strokes off the condensate, so the food surface is more accessible to the available heat energy. 1, record 12, English, - forced%2Dconvection%20steam

L'autre obstacle primordial au transfert de la chaleur dans la cuisson à la vapeur était la condensation qui se formait normalement sur les aliments. Celevelant a résolu le problème par la vapeur à convection forcée. La turbulence de la vapeur élève vraiment la condensation, ce qui rend la surface de l'aliment plus accessible à l'énergie de chaleur disponible. 1, record 12, French, - vapeur%20%C3%A0%20convection%20forc%C3%A9e
