Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeasurement of Gas-Phase Mass Transfer Coefficients in a Humidification Column through Random PackingMasoud Khorasani, Morteza Zivdar, Farshad Fashchi Tabrizi et al.Packed columns are an important part of the broad selection of mass and heat transfer equipment. Nowadays, the use of packed columns is increasing, which is because of its lower pressure drop, higher capacity and higher mass transfer in comparison to tray columns. The experiential tests and the hypothetical analysis display that the chemical dehumidification of air by hygroscopic salt … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2019 · 8,028 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Drying Methods on Coal Liquefaction ConversionMehran HeydariThe sample coal used in this work was lignite containing 25% of moisture and 19% of ash from Canada. Drying of lignite coal had considerable influence on the coal liquefaction conversion. Vacuum dried and nitrogen dried samples provided higher conversion than air dried samples. The air drying showed nearly lower conversion, which probably as a result of oxidation. Air Drying … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2019 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Comparisons of Anchovy Drying using Centrifugal and Gravitational Fluidized Bed TechniquesWatcharin Dongbang, Rungtawan WiwattanasirikulThe present study investigated experimental comparisons of anchovy drying using centrifugal and gravitational fluidized bed techniques; in addition, drying models and thermal efficiency were also investigated. In the first stage, fresh anchovy was dried with solar energy to reduce the initial moisture content from 81±1%wb to around 65%±1wb. In the second stage, the anchovy was dried with a dryer from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2015 · 7,349 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDRYING METHODS AND THEIR IMPLICATION ON QUALITY, QUANTITY AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF LAURUS NOBILIS L. FROM MOROCCOKhadija Dahak, Hafida Bouamama, Fatiha Benkhalti, Moha TaourirteThe effects of various methods of drying on the chemical quality and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Laurus nobilis were studied. The most prominent component in the air-dried, fresh leaf and microwave-dried leaf oils is 1,8 Cineole (58,8, 35.62 and 42,9% respectively). The essential oil has undergone significant chemical transformation in its monoterpenoids when the leaves of plant … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,550 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnchovy Drying Using Infrared RadiationWatcharin Dongbang, Anirut MatthujakThe present study investigated the drying of anchovy using infrared radiation experimentally; in addition, the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient in terms of Nusselt’s number was also investigated. The anchovy was dried from 78±1%wb down to 20±1%wb. The drying conditions were infrared power range 400-800 W, hot air temperatures range 50-70°C and hot air velocity range 0.5-1.5 ms-1. The lowest drying … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 14 Apr 2013 · 6,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying Poultry Manure for Pollution Potential Reduction and Production of Organic FertilizerA. E. Ghaly, M. AlhattabDisposal and storage of raw poultry manure has become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Poultry manure begins to decompose immediately after excretion giving off ammonia which, in high concentrations, can have adverse effects on the health and productivity of birds as well as the health of the farm workers. Application to land is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2013 · 9,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Testing of an Ammonia Removal Unit from the Exhaust Gas of a Manure Drying SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldThe storage and handling of animal wastes is one of the main sources of ammonia gas emissions. Ammonia gas has a distinct, unpleasant odor and can become detrimental to the health of humans and animals at high concentrations. Ammonia emissions are of particular concern in manure drying systems, where large losses of nitrogen, in the form of ammonia can cause … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 16 Feb 2013 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Passive Solar Dryer for Thin Layer Drying of Poultry ManureA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldAnimal and poultry manures have been recognized for centuries as organic fertilizers providing essential nutrients to crops and improving soil structure due to their large input of organic matter. Increasing demand for poultry and egg products has led to intensification of the poultry rearing process, resulting in large amounts of poultry manure. Drying can be used to reduce the environmental … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2012 · 10,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying of Poultry Manure for Use as Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldThe poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors of livestock production in the world. The estimated 2010 world flock was over 18 billion birds with a yearly manure output of 22 million tonnes. Storage and disposal of raw poultry manure have become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution.
