Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Onion Slices Hot-air Convection, Infrared Radiation and Combined Infrared-Convection Drying

Mathematical modelling, moisture diffusion and specific energy consumption of thin layer microwave drying of olive pomace

In this study, the effects of microwave drying power on drying kinetics, effective moisture diffusivity, and specific energy consumption of olive pomace were studied at three different microwave power levels of 170, 360 and 510 W. Increasing microwave power resulted in a considerable decrease in drying time. The experimental data for moisture loss was converted to moisture ratios and fitted to ...

Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Biodegradable Pellets

The deoiled rice bran, industrial waste (paddy husk, potato peels and banana peels) and plasticizers were added to develop pellets after extrusion for their further use in preparing molds (pots) for horticultural use. Pellets were prepared by extrusion technology using glycerol and cashew nut shell liquid as plasticizers and were dried in a chamber with constant air circulation (1.5 m/sec). Dry...

Experimental study and mathematical modeling of thin layer drying of rhubarb (Rheum ribes L.)

In this study rhubarb stem slices were dried as single layers with thickness of 3 mm in the inlet air temperature range of 50-70  and air velocity of 1 ± 0.2 m/s in a laboratory scale cabinet dryer. The effect of drying air temperature on the drying characteristics was determined and the relationship between the drying parameters with temperature and moisture content was examined. Moisture tran...

Mathematical Modeling of Hot Air Drying of Spinach Leaves in Universal Hot Air Oven

The objective of this study was to develop a model for drying characteristic curve of Spinach in Universal Hot Air Oven .Drying experiment were conducted using a constant air velocity2.2m/s and three drying air temperature of 55, 65, and75 o C with two pretreatment conditions and load densities that are given respectively condition (Blanched and Unblanched) load density (3kg/m 2 , 3.5 kg/m 2 )....
