to design equipment and facilities to dry, preserve and process pomegranates, it is necessary to know their specific heat and thermal conductivity. the objectives of this study were to determine the specific heat and thermal conductivity of pomegranates and develop mathematical estimation models for them. the effects of moisture content (15-75% w.b.) and temperature (5-20°c) on the thermal prop...

in this investigation the silicate nano structure of mcm-41 has been used for the production of nanofluid.the particles have negligible heat conductivity and therefore by their dispersion in a base fluid likewater, it is possible to study the increase of heat conductivity due to the brownian motion effects. in thiswork a suitable apparatus for the measurement of heat conductivity has been built...

pistachio has a special ranking among iranian agricultural products. iran is known as the largest producer and exporter of pistachio in the world. agricultural products are imposed under different thermal treatments during storage and processing. designing all these processes requires thermal parameters of the products such as specific heat capacity. regarding the importance of pistachio proces...

kurdistan rasa grape is one of the delicious and sweet fruits with black color. it contains vitamins e, c and some protectors such as antioxidants. in order to design equipments and facilities for drying, preservation and processing of rasa grape, it is necessary and important to know about its specific heat and thermal conductivity. in this paper the specific heat and thermal conductivity of r...

to design the equipment and facilities for preservation, storage and processing of pomegranate, it is necessary to know the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the fruit components. the specific heat of exocarp, mesocarp and of seeds of pomegranate were assessed at three moisture content levels (30, 50 and 76% for seed and mesocarp; 15, 35 and 52% for exocarp) and at four temperature leve...

Nanofluids are the heat transfer fluids having remarkable thermal properties. The paper presents the experimental analysis of thermal conductivity, density, specific heat and viscosity of multiwalled carbon nanoparticles dispersed in water at various temperatures and particle concentrations. To examine the forced convection heat transfer of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT)-water nanofluid, ...

in this paper, the amount of wasted heat from different parts of a 12 liter compression ignition engine and their potential for waste heat recovery were investigated. then, two-stage configuration of organic rankine cycle was introduced for simultaneous heat recovery from exhaust gases and coolant. finally, parameters like hybrid generated power, engine thermal efficiency and brake specific fue...
