✦ Synopsis

During cooling with low air velocity (u 0.2 m•s -1 ) of a stack of foodstuffs (a few centimeters dimension), the radiation and conduction between products can be of the same order of magnitude as convection. A method was developed to quantify these various transfer modes. The experiment was carried out using an in-line spherical arrangement; however, the same methodology can be applied to other product shapes. The results confirm that the heat transfers by radiation and conduction cannot be neglected. In addition, the convective heat transfer coefficient varies not only with air velocity but also with the product position in the stack.

The thermal heat performance of a solar air collector depends strongly on the thermal heat loss and the e$ciency factor. In order to increase these performances, it is necessary to use a solar air collector which is well insulated and where the #uid #ow is fully developed turbulent #ow. It needs a h
