rice is usually harvested at a high moisture content therefore it must be subjected to drying till the moisture below 14% and for longer storing till 12%. in this project a fixed laboratory dryer was selected for drying three varieties with three range of temperature 40, 50 and 60 c and two range of final moisture content 12% and 10% as completely randomized design. correlation of crack kernel ...

Drying of green peas in a Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) with inert particle, heated by combined sources of hot air and InfraRed (IR) radiation, has been experimentally and theoretically studied. For this purpose, an experimental set up was constructed. This setup was composed of a cylindrical bed dryer containing some inert particles which are fluidized by hot air. Some infrared lamps were also pla...

This study was conducted with the development of instant fish soup mix and finding out the effect of fish powder on it. Ingredients of soup mix were cooked and dried up to desired moisture content. The drying or dehydration was done by using a mechanical dryer (Cabinet dryer) at constant air flow rate and constant temperature with varying thicknesses. After drying the dried products were ground...

A multigeneration system based on solar thermal energy associated with hot and cold thermal storage is designed and analyzed energetically and exergetically. The system produces electricity, a heating effect, a cooling effect, hydrogen, and dry sawdust biomass as outputs by means of organic Rankine cycles, a heat pump, two absorption chillers, an electrolyser, and a belt dryer. The intermittent...

−− The results obtained in the analysis of the thermal behaviour of a forest biomass fluidized bed dryer with mechanical agitation, are reported. The study is carried out in a pilot size experimental equipment in batch operation. By means of Taguchi’s techniques the specific consumption of energy and the rates of evaporation of water and production of dry biomass are analyzed based on the contr...

In a study using a heated chamber for induction of experimental febrile seizures (eFS) in rat pups, ictal activity was shown to be precipitated by a respiratory alkalosis (Schuchmann et al., 2006). In sharp contrast to this, in a recent review Dubé et al., (2007) suggest that the respiratory alkalosis is model specific, and that no increase in respiratory rate is observed in the widely used "ha...

in this project, first we introduced a general rule for the design of drying processes and then, we have applied microsoft excel for this purpose. belt dryer is one of the most common dryers in the food industry. in this study, our aim was to process carrot by this dryer. we optimized the target function (total annual cost or tac) and investigated the influence of design variables on this targe...

In Central Europe approximately 30% of the grain must be dried after harvest. The most popular continuous crop dryers are mixed-flow dryers. Although this type of dryer is widely used it is still necessary to optimize many segment processes during the drying. For example there are big differences in the vertical grain particle velocity causing differences in the residence time. The aim of the w...

The influence of granulometric properties of the material and of the operational conditions on the drying kinetics of nonhygroscopic material was studied. Four fraction sizes of dolomite were chosen and dried in four dryers by different heating methods. Dolomite was dried in a microwave dryer under different microwave heating powers. During convective drying the effects of temperature and super...

The physiological properties of clothing designed to provide protection against cold, windy and damp conditions affect comfort. The weight, thickness, stiffness of the fabrics and friction between the clothing layers affect physical performance. The comfort and perception of performance associated with 3 military winter combat clothing systems from different decades (the new M05 system, the pre...
