This paper examines the influence of imposed drying, intended to represent horizontal advection of dry air, on parameterized deep convection interacting with large-scale dynamics in a single-column model framework. Two single-column models, one based on the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System general circulation model version 5 (GEOS5) and the other developed by Bony and Emanuel, are run in wea...

Abstract The effects of different dehydration temperature (35, 50 and 70 °C) carrot slice thickness (3, 6, 9 mm), at the constant (hot) air speed mass load, on moisture ratio ( MR ) drying DR in thin layer convective process were investigated. mathematical models Modified Page, Logarithmic, Two-term (for ), Gauss model most appropriate. Based obtained results for R 2 RSME , optimal parameters s...

Foam-mat drying is an alternative method which enables the removal of water from high-sugar content juices and purees that are difficult to dry. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different foam-mat drying methods on some physical properties and aroma of apple puree powder. Apple puree was foamed with the addition of foaming agents. Foamed puree was dried as a layer using di...

Drying kinetics of Cape gooseberry was studied and modeled during processing at four temperatures (60, 70, 80 and 90C). Desorption isotherm was obtained at 40C giving a monolayer moisture content of 0.086 g water/g d.m. Experimental drying curves showed that drying process took place only in the falling rate period. Several thin-layer drying models available in the literature were evaluated bas...

in this study, a single layer sliced potato was dried using an infrared lamp heating under vacuum over three levels of radiant power including 100, 150 and 200 w, three slices thickness 1, 2 and 3 mm and the absolute pressure of 20, 80, 140 and 760 mmhg. samples were dried in triplicate to achieve 6% moisture content (wet based) which is suitable for long-term storage. drying rate was monitored...
