Drying peanut seed using air ambient temperature at low relative humidity

RICE QUALITY AND PROCESSING Low - Temperature , Low - Relative Humidity Drying of Rough Rice

The use of low air temperatures (79 to 93 °F) and relative humidities (19% to 68%) to dry thin-layer samples of rough rice to the desired 12.5% moisture content was investigated. Drying rates and durations and their effects on the quality parameters of head rice yield, color, and pasting viscosity of longand medium-grain rice cultivars harvested at 19.6% and 17.5% moisture contents, respectivel...

Lyophilizing Foot-and Mouth Disease Virus at Low Drying Temperature

Air Temperature and Relative Humidity Study: Torgac Cave, New Mexico

Torgac Cave, located in south-central New Mexico is remarkable for at least three reasons: its extraordinary gypsum speleothems, its large bat population, and the unusually cold temperatures within the cave. It has been proposed that the presence of the bats and the speleothems may be related to the anomalous temperatures observed in the cave. This paper reports the results of a five week study...

Temperature and Relative Humidity Estimation and Prediction in the Tobacco Drying Process Using Artificial Neural Networks

This paper presents a system based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for estimating and predicting environmental variables related to tobacco drying processes. This system has been validated with temperature and relative humidity data obtained from a real tobacco dryer with a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). A fitting ANN was used to estimate temperature and relative humidity in different loc...

Optimized Operating Drying Control for Temperature, Relative Humidity and Air Velocity Parameters by Means of Fuzzy Logic Approach

The contribution of this paper is to provide a nonlinear MIMO scheme for a drying process, composed by four fuzzy controllers: Fuzzy Dehumidifier Controller (FDC-PD), Fuzzy Humidifier Controller (FHRC-PD), Fuzzy Electrical Resistance controller (FERC-PD) and Fuzzy Blower Controller (FBC-FD) and compare with results obtained previously with PID control scheme. The main aim is to allow the resear...
