چکیده

a mixed solar dryer with a specific mechanism to vary the tilted angle of collector, is utilized to fulfill all tests. the efficiency of the dryers is low because of various reasons such as heat loss of air in an open flow circuit. getting air back toward the air inlet of dryer can increase the efficiency of dryer and decrease drying process period. a new mechanism considered for dryer which controls the percentage of air recirculation. it contains two dampers which embedded in return air channel of dryer. in order to investigate the effect of air recirculation on energy consumption of drying and dryer efficiency, thin layer of tomato slices are dried in three levels of air flow rate (0.018, 0.036 and 0.054 m3/s) and four levels of air recirculation percentage (0, 50, 75 and 87.5%). total experiments were achieved in the beginning of autumn season to reach the moisture content of 12% (w.b) of the samples. the results illustrated the minimum of energy consumption and the maximum of efficiency was provided when 75% of air flow was got back to the inlet of dryer.

critical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language

since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...

Effect of air flow on tubular solar still efficiency

BACKGROUND An experimental work was reported to estimate the increase in distillate yield for a compound parabolic concentrator-concentric tubular solar still (CPC-CTSS). The CPC dramatically increases the heating of the saline water. A novel idea was proposed to study the characteristic features of CPC for desalination to produce a large quantity of distillate yield. A rectangular basin of dim...
