Performance Evaluation of a Forced Convection Solar Drier with Evacuated Tube Collector for Drying Amla
A forced convection solar drier is designed with evacuated tube collector and a blower. The performance of the designed drier is evaluated by carrying drying experiments at Thanjavur District, Tamilnadu, India with amla. Solar drying of amla is carried at different air velocity flow rates – 4m/s, 4.25m/s and 4.5m/s and is compared with natural sun drying. The temperature of the drying chamber r...
متن کاملEffect of Freeze-Drying on the Antioxidant Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Selected Tropical Fruits
The effects of freeze-drying on antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity of five tropical fruits, namely starfruit (Averrhoa carambola L.), mango (Mangifera indica L.), papaya (Carica papaya L.), muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.), and watermelon Citruluss lanatus (Thunb.) were investigated. Significant (p < 0.05) differences, for the amounts of total phenolic compounds (TPC), were found between...

متن کاملAn Investigation on Drying of Millets in A Microwave Oven
Finger millet (Eluesine coracana) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica), are highly nutritious minor millets and hence is used in most of the staple foods. The present study was to estimate the thin layer drying characteristics of foxtail and finger millet and developing a thin layer model which adequately fits the data. Foxtail and finger millet with an initial moisture content of 0.314 and 0.3...
متن کاملAccelerated Drying of Plaster Casts with a Microwave Oven
Calcined gypsum (calcium sul phate hemihydrate, CaS04 1/2H20), commonly known as plas ter of Paris, is used extensively in forming casts to immobilize parts of the body and for making molds used in the manufacture of orthotic and prosthetic devices. Plaster models and casts have several advantages, and a few disadvantages. Widely available, plaster is inert, sufficiently stable dimensionally,...
