Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation 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 accessEvery word in the titleHigh Temperature Convective Drying of a Packed Bed with Humid Air at Different HumiditiesJ. Sghaier, S. Messai, D. Lecomte, A. BelghithProblem statement: Drying a packed bed of porous particle at high temperature with varying humidity of hot air is an attractive process. Many researches on experimental and simulation on a fixed bed drying at low and average temperature are proposed. Few studies showed drying at high temperature with humid air or using superheated steam. The latest is compared to dry … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Tomato Geometries and Air Temperature on the Drying Behavior of Plum TomatoM.S. Brooks, N.H. Abou El-Hana, A.E. GhalyThe drying behavior of plum tomatoes as affected by drying temperature and tomato pieces geometry was investigated. The tomato was cut into halves, quarters and eighths and dried at temperatures of 55 and 65°C. During drying, the moisture content followed an exponential decay curve with R2>0.98. The time required to achieve the critical moisture content for storage (15%) for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,104 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCassava Chip Drying by Using a Small-Scale Hot-Air Microwave OvenPatomsok WilaiponCharacteristics of cassava microwave hot-air drying were investigated in a 2-planes microwave hot-air dryer. The drying experiments were carried out at two levels of sample surface temperature set-points viz. 70 and 80°C respectively. Cassava (Rayong-9) with 2.5 kg weight and 61% moisture content on wet basis was dried in the dryer for about 5-5.3 h. It was found that the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2013 · 7,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDrying Characteristics of the Borneo Canarium odontophyllum (Dabai) FruitDayang Fredalina Basri, Ahmad Fudholi, Mohd Hafidz RuslanThe quality and shelf-life of an underutilized fruits are compromised by the conventional method of drying. We therefore proposed using hot-air chamber to develop the drying curves of Canarium odontophyllum (dabai) fruit. Present study provides evidence of the best mathematical model to demonstrate the drying characteristics of this indigenous fruit and thus, may generate or add to the existing database. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2012 · 8,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Drying Kinetics of Chilies using a Rotating Fluidized Bed TechniqueWatcharin Dongbang, Worachest Pirompugd, Kittichai TriratanasirichaiProblem statements: The present study investigates experimentally the drying of chilies (Capsicum annuum L.) with rotating fluidized bed technique and the biological properties: capsaicin content, moisture diffusivity and activation energy. Approach: The drying experiment was conducted at the drying air temperatures ranged 70-120°C and the drying air velocity was fixed at 1.8 m sec-1, while the layer's height was fixed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of the Drying Kinetics of Lemon GrassMustafa Ibrahim, K. Sopian, W. R.W. DaudProblem statement: The thin- layer drying experiments were conducted to examine the effect of drying air temperature and humidity on the drying kinetics. Approach: A model to estimate the drying behavior of Lemon grass was developed). Results: Four different thin-layer drying models were compared with respect to their coefficient of determination (R2), Mean Bias Error (MBE) and Root Mean Square … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsContinuous Production of Lime Juice by Vacuum Freeze DryingWasan Theansuwan, Kitichai Triratanasirichai, Kiatfa TangchaichitAn experimental dryer was developed to determine the characteristics of lime juice powder that produced from freeze-drying processes on continuous production. The experimental process consists of two processes, freezing process (the air blast freezer type) and freeze-drying process (tray method with heating plate type). NaHCO3 (2% by weight of lime juice) was dissolved in lime juice as solid aid. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Surface Morphology and Effectiveness of Common Nasopharyngeal Masks: A Case of Kathmandu, NepalPrasidha Raj Neupane, Iswor Bajracharya, Sunil Babu KhatryFacemasks are widely used worldwide to prevent inhaling airborneparticles and viruses, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19. To assess theeffectiveness of various facemasks against PM10 and PM2.5,experiments with a mannequin head were conducted at 10 and 55 LPM airflowrates.
