Estimating the theoretical energy required to dry rice

چکیده
The total heat of desorption of rice (Qt) was determined for several rice types as a function of moisture content (MC), and kernel temperature, using a semi-theoretical approach in which desorption isotherms were used in conjunction with the Clausius–Clapeyron equation. Qt decreased exponentially as MC increased, decreasing sharply for MCs above 15% and approaching the latent heat of vaporization of free water at MCs around 20%. Qt of parboiled rice at 12.5% MC was significantly less than that of nonparboiled lots. Qt of medium-grain ‘‘Jupiter’’ was significantly greater than that of long-grains at 12.5% MC. Equations that predict the energy required to dry a unit mass of rice from an initial MC to a final

Photosynthesis and translocation of assimilates in rice plants following phloem feeding by the planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Homoptera: Delphacidae).
Experiments were conducted to measure the effect of feeding by the planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) on photosynthesis and the translocation of assimilates in rice plants, Oryza sativa L. We used mature japonica rice plants and applied the 13CO2 feeding method to evaluate those physiological effects. The photosynthetic rate was suppressed by N. lugens infestation, especially at the lower le...

متن کاملGender Analysis of Energy Use for Rice Production in North Central, Nigeria
The study examined gender analysis of energy use for Rice production in north central Nigeria using a sample of 60 Rice farmers. An analysis of gender relations provides the information on the different conditions men and women face, and the different effects that policies and programs may have on them. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Energy efficiency and energy pr...
متن کاملSustaining productivity in boro (winter) season using minimal water through dry direct seeding of rice M. M. RAHMAN AND M. M. MASOOD
The sustainability of rice productivity in Bangladesh is likely to face major threat due to water shortage during boro (winter season). The conventional transplanted boro rice requires huge amount of irrigation water due to wastage of various means. It is an imperative task that water saving production technology is needed to replace the conventional system for sustaining boro rice production i...
