the drying behavior and characteristics of date paste were studied at temperatures of 60, 70, and 80ºc as thin layer with sample thicknesses of 1, 1.5, and 2 cm in a laboratory scale vacuum chamber. modeling of drying kinetics of date paste was investigated based on the specific temperatures and sample thicknesses. the experimental moisture loss data were fitted to eight thin layer drying model...

In underwater diving, decompression schedules are based on compartmental models of nitrogen and helium tissue kinetics. However, these models are not based on direct measurements of nitrogen and helium kinetics. In isoflurane-anesthetized sheep, nitrogen and helium kinetics in the hind limb (n = 5) and brain (n = 5) were determined during helium-oxygen breathing and after return to nitrogen-oxy...

abstractthe purpose of this study was to investigate the controllable operating parameters influence, including ph, solid content, collector, co-collector, and depressant dose, and conditioning time, on apatite flotation kinetics. four first order flotation kinetic models are tested on batch flotation time-recovery profiles. the results of batch flotation tests and the fitting of first-order ki...

this paper investigates the importance of considering biomass growth and decay for predicting a field scale microbial degradation of btex plume in an unconfined aquifer system in the pump station area of tehran oil refinery (tor), iran. a two-dimensional finite volume model has been presented to predict multi-species reactive transport incorporating physical, chemical and biological processes i...
