Valepotriates Content Variation and Genetic Diversity in High Value Medicinal Herb, Valeriana jatamansi
Valeriana jatamansi is an important medicinal herb from Caprifoliaceae family found in the Himalayan region at an altitude of 1500-3600 m. It is known for its medicinal compounds Velerenic acid and Valepotriates. It is recommended for the treatment of insomnia, stimulates the central nervous system, and reduces spasms and anxiety. The aim of the present study was to study genetic diversity in t...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Natural Convection Grain Dryer using Phase Change Material for Quality Drying of Paddy
Conservation of agricultural crops and minimization of grain losses is challenging issue in the present scenario. Effective use of thermal energy for drying of paddy and other cereals for maintaining proper quality is the quality drying process. Natural convection grain dryer is quite suitable for under developed and developing countries like India where rural electrification and advanced dryin...
متن کاملExperimental investigation on the effect of phase change materils (PCM) in solar compression refrigeration cycle efficiency
Saving energy is one of the most important challenges of todaychr('39')s world. Reducing electrical energy consumption in compressed air systems is one of the essential requirements for designing these systems. When using domestic air conditioners (dual air conditioners) in very hot areas (Khuzestan) their performance decreases and electric current consumption increases. Therefore, the use of n...
متن کاملDrying of Municipal Sewage Sludge: from a Laboratory Scale Batch Indirect Dryer to the Paddle Dryer
Among available technologies, disk and paddle dryers are often encountered in France to process municipal sewage sludge but their thermal design is still a question of know how rather than scientific knowledge. From experiments performed on an industrial Naratherm paddle dryer and the literature, a simple model has been developed. The dryer is divided into two parts depending on the sludge cons...
متن کاملCost and performance analysis of an integrated solar combined cycle with two tanks for indirect thermal energy storage
In this paper, the annual and economic performance of an integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) with indirect energy storage tanks is investigated. The study includes four scenarios, in which the combined cycle performance was studied exclusively in the first scenario. In the second scenario, the integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) was examined, and the use of supplementary firing instead of...
