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...

BACKGROUND The current typical drying methods for red ginseng are sun drying and hot-air drying. The purpose of this study was to investigate drying characteristics of red ginseng by using far-infrared drying. METHODS The far-infrared drying tests on red ginseng were conducted at two drying stages: (1) high temperature for 24 h drying and (2) low temperature drying until the final moisture co...

In this paper, differences in porosity, compressive strength and tablet- forming ability of carbamazepine crystals agglomerated under similar condition, but subjected to different drying temperatures are reported. The agglomerates were prepared by spherical crystallization method and thereafter dried without agitation at different temperature. An increased drying temperature did not affect the ...

drying is a high energy consuming process. solar drying is one of the most popular methods for dehydration of agricultural products. in the present study, the performance of a forced convection solar dryer equipped with recycling air system and desiccant chamber was investigated. the solar dryer is comprised of solar collector, drying chamber, silica jell desiccant chamber, air ducts, fan and m...

in this study, the effects of forming method (extrusion) and environmental factors (solution ph and temperature) on the corrosion performance of az91 magnesium alloys were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and salt spray techniques. the polarization test results of the specimens showed that simple sh...
