This analytical study aims to determine the effect of temperature on thickness cassava pieces. test has 3 parameters, namely variations in pieces (3 mm, 4 5 mm), drying (40 °C, 60 80 °C), and time (120 minutes, 240 minutes 360 minutes) using a dry oven heat source from 2 heaters with power 800 Watt. The Drying Oven used shelves, each rack capacity 5.76 kg one drying. research shows that best pa...

This paper describes numerical model for inductive heating oven and temperature monitoring system for Continuous Coating Line. For induction heating, the heat generation is concentrated within skin depth so exponentially decaying heat distribution was assumed. To calculate and to monitor the oven exit temperature, measurement system was installed on the inductive heater oven including pyrometer...

Formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae conidia with oven ash, chalk powder, charcoal and wheat flour at a ratio of 1:4 (W/W) were prepared. Formulations containing charcoal and oven ash had a conidial viability half-life of 4.1–4.3 months at 2071!C. In comparison, unformulated conidia held under the same conditions had a viability half-life of 0.9 month. Bioassays carried out at 2872!C and 7075...

AIMS The sterilization of instruments in rural health clinics in less developed countries is an increasing problem as chemical methods can no longer be recommended and fuel wood is becoming increasingly scarce. It seems obvious, therefore, to utilize solar energy for sterilization purposes. METHODS AND RESULTS A solar oven was designed and manufactured using local materials and simple tools. ...

This paper compares the alkali-activated fly ash (AAFA) manufactured with thermal oven curing and pulsed microwave curing methods. Fly ash activated by 8M NaOH solution at a liquid to solid ratio of 0.3 was cured by thermal oven at 85°C and domestic microwave oven, respectively. Apart from compressive strength test, the temperature profiles of AAFA samples were captured by thermal camera. React...

Carbon fractions of tree tissues are a key component of forest carbon mass estimation. Several methods have been used to measure carbon fractions, yet no comprehensive comparison between methods has been performed. We found significant differences between carbon fractions derived from four sample preparation methods: oven-drying, vacuum desiccation, freeze-drying, and a new method that consiste...

In this research, Taguchi method application studies have been carried out to optimize the parameters affecting drying of noodles made in Çankırı region by sun, conventional oven, and microwave method. experimental study, were dried a single row thin strips 3-4 mm constant thickness form an area 100 cm2 (square plate). Variable three different methods are temperature, duration, power level. Sun...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare microwave disinfection with chemical disinfection of dental gypsum casts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 casts were prepared from a silicone mold using Type III dental stone. Of the 120 casts, 60 casts were contaminated with 1 ml suspension of Staphylococcus aureus and 60 casts were contaminated with 1 ml suspension of Pseudom...
