Mathematical modelling, moisture diffusion and specific energy consumption of thin layer microwave drying of olive pomace
In this study, the effects of microwave drying power on drying kinetics, effective moisture diffusivity, and specific energy consumption of olive pomace were studied at three different microwave power levels of 170, 360 and 510 W. Increasing microwave power resulted in a considerable decrease in drying time. The experimental data for moisture loss was converted to moisture ratios and fitted to ...
متن کاملEstimation of the Moisture Diffusivity and Activation Energy in Thin Layer Drying of Ginger Slices
In the present work, the effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy were calculated using an infinite series solution of Fick’s diffusion equation. The results showed that increasing drying temperature accelerated the drying process. All drying experiments had only falling rate period. The average effective moisture diffusivity values varied from 2.807x10 to 6.977x10m s over the tempe...
متن کاملEvaluation of Energy Consumption of Potato Slices Drying Using Vacuum-Infrared Method
Objective: The main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the energy consumption for drying of potato slices using vacuum-infrared drying method. Methods: Drying of potato slices with the thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3 mm were conducted at vacuum levels of zero (without vacuum), 20, 80 and 140 mm [Hg], infrared radiation at power levels of 100, 150 and 200 W in the three repetition. Resu...

متن کاملExperimental study and mathematical modeling of thin layer drying of rhubarb (Rheum ribes L.)
In this study rhubarb stem slices were dried as single layers with thickness of 3 mm in the inlet air temperature range of 50-70 and air velocity of 1 ± 0.2 m/s in a laboratory scale cabinet dryer. The effect of drying air temperature on the drying characteristics was determined and the relationship between the drying parameters with temperature and moisture content was examined. Moisture tran...
