This study investigated the effects of temperature on drying behavior and kinetic features lily scales. A series experiments were carried out at 65, 75, 85 °C to dry scales in a laboratory air-ventilated oven dryer. Drying was found significantly affect times rates. The rate curves suggested that process occurred entirely within descending period. During simulation kinetics, Page Logarithmic mo...

drying behavior of two types of pomegranates as well as the effect of drying conditions on moisture loss trend and on effective diffusion coefficient of arils are discussed in this article. also, an appropriate mathematical drying model as well as the activation energy of sweet and sour pomegranate arils, dried in vacuum and microwave driers are pursued and presented. results of regression anal...

the main purpose of present paper is the modeling of onion drying process and investigation of experimental data of onion drying obtained with using a hot air dryer. therefore some empirical and regression models have been considered to fit experimental data. the investigation of the experimental data shows the onion drying happens only in falling rate zone. the experimental data have been fitt...

In the present work, the drying of calcium carbonate in a batch spouted bed dryer with inert particles has been investigated experimentally. The effect of several operating parameters including air temperature (90, 100, and 110 ˚C), air velocity (Ums, 1.2 Ums, and 1.5 Ums), and dry solid mass (5, 10, 20 g) has been studied. The Taguchi method has been applied to determine the optimal parameters...

Drying of spruce, beech, willow, and alder sawdust was examined in a laboratory type dryer. The effect drying air temperature T (25, 60, 80 °C) airflow velocity v (0.01, 0.15, 1.5 m/s) investigated. obtained results demonstrated that have impacts on the sawdust. experimental dehydration data were fitted to theoretical, semi-theoretical, empirical thin-layer models. accuracies models estimated u...
