    The bakery industry is faced with the need to increase production speed due to society's growing demand for bakery products. In this context, forced convection ovens have proven to be a more efficient solution compared to static ovens, offering efficiency comparable to that of rotary ovens. A prototype of a forced convection oven was designed and built for the Rico Pan bakery, located in the parish of Santa Rosa. Both the static and dynamic mechanical elements of the oven were made of AISI 430 stainless steel due to its resistance to corrosion, guaranteeing durability and reliability. The oven includes fans that generate forced convection, allowing a homogeneous distribution of heat and, therefore, uniform baking of the products. The oven capacity is 5 kg of product and has a useful interior volume of 0.24 cubic meters, managing to operate efficiently in a temperature range of 125 to 180 degrees Celsius for a time of 20 to 25 minutes, ensuring thermal stability. As a result, in the operating tests, negligible levels of carbon monoxide were detected, which is a positive indicator for both human consumption and environmental impact, however, certain areas were found inside the furnace chamber where there are energy losses, for this reason, in terms of efficiency, the system reached 29.62 percent, which is optimal for this type of operation.

    The present research work is focused on the temperature distributions inside the drying chamber with a radiation heat source that in this case four infrared lamps of 250 W each are used. In order to obtain these temperatures, experimental analyses are carried out in the prototype of the chamber and also with a modeling of the dryer simulations were obtained in the software, in a transient state with time intervals of 180, 240 and 688 seconds. The methodology proposed for the study was software simulation, first verifying the modeling of the chamber, then proceeding with the steps for data entry such as: parameters for the type of analysis, type of fluid (air), initial conditions, selection of materials, boundary conditions, amount of heat and radiating surfaces, also through calculations of the parameters of heat transfer inside the chamber by natural convection, forced and radiation, with their combinations reaching 771 W, also obtained the variation of stored energy for the air of 15.65 W. Applying energy balance, the losses by convection to the outside are determined, which reach 25 W. The combined results of the heat transfer methods help to calculate the efficiency of the chamber in vacuum (without load) and considering only the heating of the air inside gives us 6.4 percent. In the experimental and simulated time intervals analyzed, the temperature distributions in the middle and lower part of the chamber reach maximum values of 47 and 58.75 degrees Celsius, respectively.

    This technical project has the function of recovering the residual heat from the gases or fumes that are expelled directly into the environment by the boiler chimney, which will also contribute to a large extent to solve a deficit of equipment in the energy laboratory, and will help so that students can carry out practices of the theory learned. The compilation of information was carried out through reliable research sources such as magazines, books, scientific publications, and duly verified websites that provide relevant data to the project. First, the metallic heat recovery unit was chosen, then the design and simulation in software was carried out to verify its operation and thus can be validated and used, later it was passed to the manufacturing process, and finally it was completed with physical tests of operation. The simulation was carried out with the existing data of the temperature with which the combustion gases exit through the boiler chimney and with the support of the properties of the fluids found in the software library, also the data of the cold fluid that will be air at room temperature, when performing the simulation, the temperature increase of the cold fluid was verified by means of the circulation carried out during the heat recovery process. Finally, the results were obtained and it was observed that the lower the speed, the greater the increase in temperature we have of the cold fluid, to mention when the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius at a speed of 5 meters per second, it reaches a temperature of 34.2 degrees Celsius, all we can see the data with different speeds in the simulation results.

    The present technical project has as its central research objective the design and construction of an energy converter that allows to transform the electric voltage of the batteries that is generated by a system of unconventional resources consisting of a combination of photovoltaic solar panels and a wind generator, to obtain thermal energy used in the process of heating water for domestic use. The geographic and environmental conditions of the white river community as a cold climate prevails, generated the need to install a water preheating system consisting of flat plate thermal panels and vacuum tubes driven by the solar radiation intensity of the area and connected directly to the water supply for exploiting the potential of volumetric flow. The design of the converter components was made based on the technical characteristics of the electrical potential installed in the white river community to increase the efficiency of the water heating processes guaranteed a low energy consumption through drive depending on the hot water requirement. The purpose of the operation tests is to verify and sustain that the converter can operate continuously and without interruptions and reach high levels of efficiency during all times of the year considering the climatic conditions to which it is exposed in the community, the climate variation as a function of time is quantified with the data obtained in the area by previous investigations in order to make projections that allow to know the trend of behavior of parameters such as radiation. Finally, the performance tests were carried out by taking data in the area through the control and monitoring system that allowed the collection of values with respect to the increase in the magnitude of the water temperature, and the operation of the converter was guaranteed throughout the year by means of projections with reference to previous bibliographic data taken from the irradiance of the area, thus demonstrating the high efficiency of operation of the project under all conditions likely to arise in the area.
