Drying paddy with low-pressure superheated steam (LPSS) can effectively increase the γ-aminobutyric acid content in paddy. This study aimed to investigate characteristics and mathematical models (MMs) of thin-layer drying LPSS. The experimentally obtained data were fitted by nonlinear regression 5 MMs commonly used for calculate goodness fit MMs. Then, LPSS was modeled two machine learning metho...

Screening potential vaccine formulations during freeze-drying is a time-consuming task. High-throughput systems, consisting of small vials inside aluminium well plates, can accelerate formulation selection. However, heat transfer variations among due to the edge effect entail deviations in final product quality and bias results. This work investigates how vial position plate impacts flow receiv...

Drying is one of the essential unit operations performed to increase the shelf life of agricultural or horticultural produce and it is one of the most practical methods of preserving food and the quality of agricultural produce [1]. Traditionally, fish food produce are dried by spreading in open sun in thin layer and smoking using wood. Though this method is economical and simple, it has the dr...

A dynamic simulation model of a 3-layer board machine was developed. The simulation model consists of stock preparation and proportioning, short circulations, wire and press sections, and drying section including the steam and condensate systems. Physical, first principles models were used whenever possible. The control system and automatic grade change program were modelled as well. The simula...

Drying behavior of blanched sweet potato in a cabinet dryer using different five air temperatures (40-80°C) and ten sweet potato varieties sliced to 5mm thickness were investigated. The drying data were fitted to eight models. The Modified Henderson and Pabis model gave the best fit to the experimental moisture ratio data obtained during the drying of all the varieties while Newton (Lewis) and ...

The use of low air temperatures (79 to 93 °F) and relative humidities (19% to 68%) to dry thin-layer samples of rough rice to the desired 12.5% moisture content was investigated. Drying rates and durations and their effects on the quality parameters of head rice yield, color, and pasting viscosity of longand medium-grain rice cultivars harvested at 19.6% and 17.5% moisture contents, respectivel...

Spirals as internals are utilized to reduce the axial mixing of solids in fluidized beds, by routing the solids flow in a predetermined route or by localizing the solids mixing. The drying kinetics of continuous fluidized bed with and without internals has been compared and modeled using batch drying kinetics and residence time distribution analysis. The batch drying experiments were conducted ...

This study investigates the behavior of fruit and vegetable samples during drying. The experimental data are fitted to several different thin-layer drying models. Regression analysis is used determine model parameters, while statistical indicators serve evaluate goodness fit. power function gives best fit for all examined samples. Based on this model, heat storage technologies can be combined e...

common drying systems, including hot air convection, infrared, vacuum and ir-convective were employed to investigate and analyze the drying process of mulberry fruits. to evaluate the effect of pretreatment on the drying phenomenon, samples were pretreated by being subjected to: microwaves, chemical preparation, mechanical as well as blanching approaches. results revealed that the microwave pre...
