Heating Performance (heating + performance)
Selected AbstractsA zone-control induction heating (ZCIH) system for semiconductor processingELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN JAPAN, Issue 1 2010Hideaki Fujita Abstract This paper proposes a new induction heating technology capable of controlling a precise exothermic distribution, which is termed zone-control induction heating (ZCIH). The ZCIH system consists of two or more sets of a high-frequency inverter unit and a work coil. The inverter units control the phase angle of the coil current to be in phase with each other. The ZCIH has the capability of operation with the mutual inductance, and enables locating the coils as close as possible. As a result, the ZCIH technology makes it possible to achieve rapid heating performance with extremely precise exothermic distribution. This paper presents experimental results of a 150-kW six-zone ZCIH system for semiconductor heat processing. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ghosal Abstract A thermal model has been developed to investigate the potential of using the stored thermal energy of the ground for greenhouse heating with the help of an earth to air heat exchanger (EAHE) system integrated with the greenhouse located in the premises of IIT, Delhi, India. Experiments were conducted extensively during the winter period from November 2002 to March 2003, but the model developed was validated against the clear and sunny days. Parametric studies performed for EAHE coupled with the greenhouse illustrate the effects of buried pipe length, pipe diameter, mass flow rate of air, depth of ground and soil types on greenhouse air temperatures. Temperatures of greenhouse air with the experimental parameters of EAHE were found to be on an average 7,8°C more in the winter than the same greenhouse without EAHE. Greenhouse air temperatures increase in the winter with increasing pipe length, decreasing pipe diameter, decreasing mass flow rate of flowing air inside buried pipe and increasing depth of ground up to 4 m. Predicted and measured values of greenhouse air temperature, which were verified in terms of root mean square of percent deviation and correlation coefficient, exhibited fair agreement.

[source] A test procedure to characterise the heating performance of domestic microwave ovensINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, Issue 1 2008Mark Jeffery Swain Summary A test procedure has been developed and used to characterise the performance of domestic microwave ovens in relation to the heating of chilled ready meals. The procedure uses reproducible test loads, which simulate the heating and weight loss characteristics of a chilled ready meal under consumer use. The temperature distribution after heating from 5 °C to a defined minimum temperature of 70 °C is measured in the food simulant using a purpose designed multipoint thermocouple ,hedgehog' probe. The temperature, weight loss and heating time data from the test are entered into a spreadsheet analysis program, which provides a simple oven performance ,score' and/or comprehensive heating performance data. [source] A heating stage up to 1173,K for X-ray diffraction studies in the whole orientation spaceJOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, Issue 1 2003R. Resel A multi-purpose heating attachment designed primarily for X-ray four-circle diffractometers but applicable also for classical powder diffraction is presented. When working in reflection geometry, the air-cooled heating stage allows diffraction studies to be performed on plate-like samples up to 1173,K in the whole orientation space. This paper gives a detailed description of the assembly and important technical specifications for the performance of experiments. The heating characteristics of the heating stage, the displacement of the sample from the goniometer centre as a result of thermal expansion and the influence of the protecting dome on the diffraction experiment are presented. The simple technical construction, the low weight, the small size and good heating performance make this equipment a general purpose heating attachment for X-ray diffraction experiments in reflection geometry. [source] DEVELOPMENT and EVALUATION of MICROWAVE HEATING of APPLE MASH AS A PRETREATMENT to PRESSINGJOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING, Issue 1 2004J.S. ROBERTS ABSTRACT Fuji, McIntosh, and Red Delicious apple mashes were heated in a 2450 MHz oven to achieve bulk temperatures of 40, 50, 60, and 70C. Three kilograms of mash at a depth of 0.016 m heated using 1500 W were the optimum parameters to heat apple mash in the microwave. Variety of the apple mash was shown not to have a significant effect on the heating performance. Comparing actual bulk temperature to the predicted bulk temperatures of 40, 50, 60, and 70C showed reproducibility of heating these mashes using microwave energy. Average variation between actual and predicted bulk temperatures were 1.48C for the Fuji mash, 0.98C for the McIntosh mash, and 1.13C for the Red Delicious mash. In addition, regional heating was investigated and four distinct regions of heating were observed: the corner, the edge, the middle, and the center. Color and moisture content of the mash were also measured and compared to unheated mash at 21C. [source] | |||||||||||||
