applying artificial neural network for shrinkage prediction of green pea in a microwave assisted fluidized bed dryer
in this search drying characteristics of green pea (pisum satium) with an initial moisture content of 76% (db) was studied in a fluidized bed dryer assisted by microwave heating. four drying air temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60ºc) and five microwave powers (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900w) were adopted. at each drying operating conditions the volume of green pea was calculated by measuring the three...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of a Heat Pump Assisted Fluidized Bed Dryer
The drying or dehydration is the controlled heating of food products to evaporate quantified amount of moisture that is originally present in it. Drying of food products is essential to enhance the shelf life of the product without quality losses over an extended period of time. It is an energy intensive process. The fluidized bed dryer with heat pump is one of the efficient method to reduce th...
متن کاملModelling moisture diffusivity of pomegranate seed cultivars under fixed, semi fluidized and fluidized bed using mathematical and neural network methods.
BACKGROUND Modelling moisture diffusivity of pomegranate cultivars is considered to be a major aspect of the drying process optimization. Its goal is mainly to apply the optimum drying method and conditions in which the final product meets the required standards. Temperature is the major parameter which affects the moisture diffusivity. This parameter is not equal for different cultivars of pom...
متن کاملPhysical Properties of Green Pea in an Inert Medium FBD Dryer Assisted by IR Heating
The drying behavior of green peas is investigated in a pilot scaled Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) with inert particles assisted by an Infra Red (IR) heat source. The variation of shrinkage and moisture diffusivity with temperature and moisture content were investigated. The experimental drying curves were adjusted to the diffusion model of Fick’s law for spherical particles. The result was that...
متن کاملapplying artificial neural network for drying time prediction of green pea in a microwave assisted fluidized bed dryer
drying characteristics of green pea (pisum satium) with an initial moisture content of 76% (db) was studied in a fluidized bed dryer assisted by microwave heating. four drying air temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60ºc) and five microwave powers (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900w) were adopted. several experiments were conducted to obtain data for sample moisture content versus drying time. the results sh...
