Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Energy Aspects of Apple Drying in the Hot-Air and Infrared DryersSeyed Hashem Samadi, Issa LoghmaniehDrying is an energy-intensive process. In general, heating and evaporation require large quantities of energy. This study has been conducted to evaluate analysis for dying apple slices in two drying systems including hot-air convection and infrared drying. The apple samples were dried at temperatures of 90, 120 and 150°C and radiation intensity of 0.22, 0.31 and 0.49 W/cm2 in the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 8,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTriton for Nuclear FusionRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria Petrescu, Antonio Apicella et al.In the nuclear fusion process that is permanently produced in the stars (suns) there is a thermonuclear reaction that uses as the main raw material the very first isotope of hydrogen, namely the Protium. This process is possible due to the huge temperatures and the unimaginably high pressures existing inside a star. At very high temperatures and pressures, matter begins … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2017 · 8,917 accessesView PDFCite
