Abstract National Fire Protection Association standard 1403 provides the fire service with guidance for conducting effective live training goal of minimizing health and safety hazards. The document guidelines materials to be included in fuel package, but has raised questions about use specific types wood products this purpose. In study, dynamics generated when utilizing five different Class A t...

peanuts, an oilseed crop, contain about 46% oil. the peanut shell can be used as fuel or pallets and its dry matter as feedstuff. the whole pods consist of 1-6 kernels. shelling is done at harvest time when the pod moisture content is 5-10%. in this research, a peanut sheller was designed and developed to separate the shell from the pod. the sheller included a hopper, sheller cylinder, concave,...

Mark Schafer President and Principal Scientist, Sonic Tech Wayne, PA This paper presented the results of several years of testing the use of ultrasound to find structural defects in pallet parts and pallet cants used to produce pallet parts. To determine the magnitude of unsound defects, we inspected full length cants from seven saw mills from Virginia and West Virginia. Split, wane, shake, hol...

Safe storage of pharmaceutical products is great importance due to potential hazards for human health. The aim this study was assess the ability recover design temperature during ventilation system recovery. performed CFD simulations showed good agreement with experimental measurements. Numerical results allowed in-depth analysis flow field and distribution inside storage. It discovered that hi...

ABSTRACT Although precooling by forced air is widely used to remove field heat from fresh table grapes, there no knowledge about its use and efficiency. Factors influencing the process include temperature relative humidity, amount initial of fruits, velocity, packaging. The objective this study was evaluate cooling effect efficiency on grapes in two types packages. experimental method randomize...
