this paper peresents a mathematical model for the thin layer drying of the viliamz cultivar of soybean. the thin layer drying behaviour of soybean was experimentally investigated and the mathematical modelling performed by using thin layer drying models provided in the literature. experiments were conducted at inlet drying air temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºc and at a fixed drying air ve...

in this research the thin layer drying behavior of apricot (cv. ghavami and nasiry) at temperatures of drying air of 40, 50, 60 and 70 ºc and at drying air velocity of 2 ms-1 was studied. in order to select the best drying curve equation, 9 different thin layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data and were compared according to their coefficient of determination (r2), reduced chi-...

Abstract The objective was to determine the effects of different drying methods on nutrient utilization black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) larva meals using in vitro assays. Two-step and 3-step assays were employed simulate gastrointestinal tract pigs. Four used obtain BSF meal sources: 1) microwave-drying for 32 min, 2) hot-air at 60°C 17 h, 3) water blanching 5 min 4) 2% citric acid s...

In this study, monolayer drying of kiwi slices was simulated by a laboratory-scale hot-air dryer. The drying process was carried out at three different temperatures of 50, 60, and 70°C. After the end of drying process, initially, the experimental drying data were fitted to the 11 well-known drying models. The results indicated that Two-term model gave better performance compared with other mode...

Microscopic changes occur in plant food materials during drying significantly influence the macroscopic properties and quality factors of the dried food materials. It is very critical to study microstructure to understand the underlying cellular mechanisms to improve performance of the food drying techniques. However, there is very limited research conducted on such microstructural changes of p...

A fully instrumented air conditioning laboratory unit capable of controlling drying air temperature and humidity integrated with an instantaneous weighing thin layer drying system was used to investigate the thin layer drying behavior and desorption equilibrium moisture content of canola (Brassica napus L.). To this aim, freshly harvested canola samples with moisture content of about 12±0.5% (d...

the present study investigated the influence of air temperature and velocity on the drying kinetics and specific energy consumption during fluidized bed drying of soybean at 80, 100, 120 and 140ºc and airflow rates of 1.8, 3.1 and 4.5 m s-1. six mathematical models for describing the fluidized bed drying behavior were investigated. the value of the drying rate coefficient (k) increased with inc...

The effect of warm air-drying on the dentin bond strengths of the single-step self-etch adhesives was determined. The adhesives were applied to bovine dentin followed by drying in a stream of warm air for 5, 10, and 15 s at 37°C. Resin composites were condensed into a mold and polymerized. Specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 24 h, then shear tested. The surface free-energies we...
