In this study, whole lemons were dried using a laboratory convective hot air dryer and the effects of drying temperature on dehydration behaviour and mass transfer characteristics of the lemons were investigated. The drying experiments were conducted using air temperatures of 50, 60 and 75 °C and air velocity of 1 m/s. It was observed that the drying temperature affected the drying time and...

investigation of projectiles penetration phenomenon has been carried out in non-cohesive soil (sand) targets under dry, saturated and compacted conditions. analytical studies have been performed on the linear and non-linear soil models to obtain penetration depth formulae for ogival nose projectile and the results are verified by experimental studies. in present work, three ogival nose projecti...

We present detailed evolutionary calculations for carbon oxygen and helium core white dwarf models with masses ranging from M = 0.1 to M = 1.2 M⊙ and for metallicities Z = 0.001 and Z = 0. The sequences cover a wide range of hydrogen envelopes as well. We have taken fully into account finite temperature effects by means of a detailed white dwarf evolutionary code, in which updated radiative opa...

Today, in a competitive market, service organizations and producers have a great attention to optimization and customer satisfaction in order to become competitive. Service organization must reduce the number of arrival, waiting time and service time in the queue to increase the customer satisfaction. In this paper by the aim of queuing theory we analyze the optimal amount of increment in a rep...
