Semiconductor inspection equipment makes components using materials with insulating properties for functional inspection including current and voltage of semiconductor parts. A representative insulating material is plastic, and plastic is made of a component through an injection process using plastic pellet. When plastic pellets contain excessive moisture, problems such as performance degradation and product surface defects occur. To prevent this, pre-drying is essential, and the heat convective type is the most applied. However, the heat convective type has a problem of low consumption efficiency and a long drying time. Recently, many studies have been conducted on a drying method using microwaves due to high energy efficiency. In this paper, drying was performed using a microwave for drying PC pellets. Energy consumption and drying efficiency analyzed by set up an experimental apparatus of heat convective, microwave, and hybrid(heat convective + microwave) types. It was confirmed that energy consumption and drying efficiency were high when drying using microwaves, and it was confirmed that the hybrid method improved drying performance compared to the heat convective method. It is expected that the research results of this paper can be used as basic data for drying plastic pellets using microwave.

In this paper we look at the three dimensional stagnation point flow problem over a rough rotating disk. We study the theoretical behaviour of the stagnation point flow, or forced flow, in the presence of a slip factor in which convective instability stationary modes appear. We make a numerical investigation of the effects of slip on the behaviour of the flow components of the stagnation point flow where the disk is rough. We provide, for the first time in the literature, a complete convective instability analysis and an energy analysis. Suitable similarity transformations are used to reduce the Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation into a system of highly non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations, and these are solved numerically subject to suitable boundary conditions using the bvp4c function of MATLAB. The convective instability analysis and the energy analysis are performed using the Chebyshev spectral method in order to obtain the neutral curves and the energy bars. We observe that the roughness of the disk has a destabilising effect on both Type-I and Type-II instability modes. The results obtained will be prominently treated as benchmarks for our future studies on stagnation flow.

In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of the one-dimensional convective Cahn-Hilliard equation(CCHE) on a periodic cell [$-{\pi},{\pi}$]. We prove that as the control parameter passes through the critical number, the CCHE bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor. We describe the bifurcated attractor in detail which gives the final patterns of solutions near the trivial solution.

Accurate quantitative forecasting of rainfall for basins with a short response time is essential to predict flash floods. In this study, a Quantitative Flood Forecasting (QFF) model was developed by incorporating the evolving structure and frequency of intense weather systems and by using neural network approach. Besides using radiosonde and rainfall data, the model also used the satellite-derived characteristics of storm systems such as tropical cyclones, mesoscale convective complex systems and convective cloud clusters as input. The convective classification and tracking system (CCATS) was used to identify and quantify storm properties such as lifetime, area, eccentricity, and track. As in standard expert prediction systems, the fundamental structure of the neural network model was learned from the hydroclimatology of the relationships between weather system, rainfall production and streamflow response in the study area. All these processes stretched leadtime up to 18 hours. The QFF model will be applied to the mid-Atlantic region of United States in a forthcoming paper.

Recent researches on nanofluids have mainly focused on the increase of thermal conductivity of nanofluids under static condition. The ultimate goal of using nanofluids, however, is to enhance the heat transfer performance under fluid flow. So it has been highly necessary to devise a simple and accurate measuring apparatus which effectively compares the heat transfer capability between the base and nanofluids. Though the convective heat transfer coefficient is not the complete index for the heat transfer capability, it might be one of useful indications of heat transfer enhancement. In this article, the working principles of experimental system for convective heat transfer coefficient around a heated fine wire in cross flow of nanofluids and its application example to three samples of nano lubrication oils are explained in detail.

In this study, characteristics of microwave and convective drying are studied by using a multiphase porous media model. Temperature and moisture profiles for hot-air convective heating and microwave heating of 1-D porous media with varying time and space are numerically investigated. This result shows the microwave drying method is more effective than the convective drying method. Comparing to convective drying, microwave drying can increase temperature and evaporation rate significantly since microwave generates internal heat and increases internal pressure, which results in moisture movement toward the surface on which moisture is vaporized.

The effects of convection on the measurement of the diffusion coefficients of liquids by the pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) NMR method at low temperature are discussed. To examine the generation of convective flows, we used four different types of sample tubes in the diffusion measurements with temperature variation; a normal 5 mm NMR tube, a Shigemi tube, an ELISE type tube, and a capillary tube. Below room temperature, the calculated diffusion coefficients of chloroform in 5 mm o.d. type tubes increased with decreasing temperature, while those in the capillary tube decreased linearly. The convective flow was found to be significant even at low temperature and it seemed to be mainly induced by the transverse temperature gradient. It was also found that the capillary tube was most appropriate to measure the diffusion coefficients, since its small diameter is effective in suppressing the convective flows at both high and low temperatures.

An improved mechanistic model was developed to predict a convective boiling critical heat flux (CHF) in the vertical round tubes with uniform heat fluxes. The CHF formula for subcooled and low quality boiling was derived from the local conservation equations of mass, energy and momentum, together with appropriate constitutive relations. The model is characterized by the momentum balance equation to determine the limiting transverse interchange of mass flux crossing the interface of wall bubbly layer and core by taking account of the convective shear effect due to the frictional drag on the wall-attached bubbles. Comparison between the present model predictions and experimental CHF data from several sources shows good agreement over a wide range of How conditions. The present model shows comparable prediction accuracy with the CHF look-up table of Groeneveld et al. Also the model correctly accounts for the effects of flow variables as well as geometry parameters.

The rogue wave was generated in a two-dimensional wave tank the rogue wave kinematics was investigated including local and convective accelerations of the water particle and verification of existing prediction methods. PIV technique was applied to measure the wave kinematics near the wave crest which extended to compute the local and convective accelerations. The experimental results were compared with several analytical predictions. The convective acceleration under the crest of rogue wave has a similar magnitude with the local acceleration.
