Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMATHEMATICAL MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THIN LAYER HALOGEN DRYER OF STRAWBERRY AND STUDY IT’S EFFECT ON ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITYAsaad Rehman Saeed Al-Hilphy, Ali Khudhair Jaber AlRikabiThe halogen drying characteristics of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch) slices were investigated. Drying experiments were carried out a three different drying temperatures (60, 70 and 80°C). The effect of drying temperature on the drying rate, drying coefficient, efficiency, effective diffusivity of the strawberry and antioxidant activity were evaluated. The best model for describing the halogen drying process was chosen by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of the Geometrical Parameters of a Solar Bubble Pump for Absorption-Diffusion Cooling SystemsN. Dammak, B. Chaouachi, S. Gabsi, M. BourouisProblem statement: The objective of this study was to optimize the geometrical parameters of a bubble pump integrated in a solar flat plate collector. Approach: This solar bubble pump was part of an ammonia/water/helium (NH3/H2O/He) absorption-diffusion cooling system. Results: An empirical model was developed on the basis of momentum, mass, material equations and energy balances. The mathematical model was solved … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSH Waves Diffusion in Fluid-Saturated MediumC.C. Dennis Ling, S. Y. Faisal, A. A. ZainalProblem statement: Characteristics of the seismic waves have been studied mainly the amplitudes, attenuation, frequency, porosity and the velocity of the waves. In this study, the SH-waves were studied for the diffusion which was related to the diffraction of SH-waves in the saturated medium. Approach: The elastic wave equation was being used to show the SH-waves. A comparison was made … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Flow Past a Vertical Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface TemperatureHassan A.M. El-ArabawyProblem statement: In this research the researchers studied and made an analysis to the heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium with surface temperature distribution proportional to xλ by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. Approach: The governing partial differential equations were transformed into a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto a Low-Cost Natural Jordanian TripoliAtef S. ALzaydienProblem statement: It is well documented that lead is one of contaminants of industrial wastewaters and its pollution exists in the wastewater of many industries. As a result, recent research has focused on the development of cost effective alternatives using various natural sources and industrial wastes. In this setting, the use of low-cost agricultural materials, waste and residues for recovering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Heat Transport in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel CellE. Afshari, S.A. JazayeriIn this study a two-phases, single-domain and non-isothermal model of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been studied to investigate thermal management effects on fuel cell performance. A set of governing equations, conservation of mass, momentum, species, energy and charge for gas diffusion layers, catalyst layers and the membrane regions are considered. These equations are solved numerically in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolute or Heat Transport in a Flat DuctElijah Johnson, Ayaovi D. Apeti, Sekeenia Haynes, Larry RobinsonSteady state solute and heat transfer for laminar flow in a flat duct has been widely studied[1-4]. The same problem in a circular tube is called the Graetz Problem[5,6]. The transfer rate of solute and heat from fluids is of importance in a number of processes, such as diffusion of drugs in the blood stream and the uptake of environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Behavior for Solution of Reaction-Diffusion SystemsM. Yahi, K. SaoudiThe existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of the solution of a balanced two-component reaction-diffusion system have been investigated. It was shown that a global and unique solution existed and its second component can be estimated using the Lyapunov Functional. It was, also, demonstrated that each component of the solution converged, at infinity, to a constant which can be found in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Pb+2 Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Adsorption on Kaolinite ClayWaid Omar, Hossam Al-ItawiThe adsorption potential of the kaolinite clay for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions was tested. The measured adsorption isotherms at the different temperatures 298.15 K, 308.15 K and 318.15 K were found to be perfectly fit to the Langmuir isotherm equation. A high adsorption capacity was calculated. An increase in the retention capacity with increasing temperature was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,792 accessesView PDFCite
