Research ArticleOpen accessMathematical 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessThe 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 PDF Cite
