Effects of Aeration on the Quality of Popcorn
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gentle in-store drying of popping corn may reduce the risk of stress fissures being generated, an effect which reduces popcorn expansion volume. In order to allow optimisation studies of in-store drying to be conducted, thermophysical properties of two current Australian popping corn varieties were measured in the range 30-50°C, at moisture contents from 12% to 20% wb. Models were developed for moisture isotherms, true density, bulk density, pressure drop and thin layer drying rate.

Microalgal culture can be a combination of three environmental factors, treatment of wastewaters, production of renewable energy resources for replacement of fossil fuels and reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions. Microalga Spirulina is not just a good candidate forwastewater treatment (due to the ability toremove ofnitrogen andphosphorus), but also it plays a roleinreduction of greenhouse ...
متن کاملPhysical Modelling of Self-Aeration in a Cavitating Sudden PIPE Expansion Flow
Sudden pipe expansions have been known as efficient hydraulic energy dissipaters for a long time. The complex phenomenon of flow separation and velocity discontinuity at the interface of incoming jet and the recirculation flow, results in intensive shear and tensile rupture of the fluid and the associated destructive phenomenon of cavitation. This paper focuses on aeration in sudden pipe expans...
