Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn 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 accessPhrase in the titleKinetics of Thin Layer Drying of Poultry ManureA. 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 has become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Environmental and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 9,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment 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 abstractDrying 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 abstractMathematical Modeling of Drying Characteristics of Chilies in a Rotating Fluidized Bed TechniqueKittichai Triratanasirichai, Watcharin Dongbang, Worachest PirompugdProblem statements: The present study investigates experimentally the thin layer drying of chilies in the Rotating Fluidized Bed (RFB) technique and its mathematical modeling. Approach: The layer’s height was fixed at 4±0.5 cm. In addition, the drying air velocity and the centrifugal acceleration ratio were fixed at 2 m sec-1 and G = 2.5 (106 rpm), respectively. With 6 data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 6,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy 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 accessAll words, across the recordMATHEMATICAL 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
