This research aims to develop the design of vertical bed dryer which could dry corn kernel. The characteristics has been investigated. consists three chambers each in order facilitate inlet hot air stream, kernel chamber, and outlet wet air. Each chamber was separated by perforated plate steel. Air flew a blower heated 2 x 350 heaters. parameter was: (a) drying temperature, varied 50-60 oC, (b)...

Preservation of food and vegetable products is an age-old practice for the retention flavor, appearance, quality. From ancient times, driers drying grains work on direct sun rays, firewood, fossil fuels, coals causing carbon release. These available methods are expensive, unreliable, unhygienic; thereby use a solar dryer working free clean energy better higher value addition to preservation. Th...

Intermittent drying is a satisfactory technique for drying of heat sensitive grains especially rough rice. This method consists of two separate stages applied intermittently: drying and tempering. In this work, intermittent drying of rough rice is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. In order to characterize this process; a multi-scale model consisting of macroscopic and microsco...

The aim of this work was to study the effect of spray drying conditions on quality of coconut sugar powder and their characteristics. Effects of inlet air temperature (120°C, 150°C and 180°C) and maltodextrin concentrations (DE 9-12) at 10%, 20% and 30% (w/v) on physical properties of spray dried coconut sugar powder were investigated. Buchi mini spray dryer, model B-290, was used in this work....

This research was carried out to determine the energy requisite in terms of specific thermal consumption, electrical consumption and drying capacity a superheated steam dryer. The stream dryer consists boiler housing, transfer pipes made galvanized steel, super-heater up two (2) heater bands 4000W (used convert saturated steam), chamber using stainless PID temperature controller (for regulating...

A study of drying parameters on the process Pisum Sativum bean was carried out. The effects temperature moisture air from 40 ° C to 80°C time and kinetics were demonstrated not only conventional electric dryers but also heat pump dryers. Besides, checking steady operation dryer considered. results show that, when rises, shorter faster removal content can be obtained for both systems. Drying in ...

Abstract The urbanised living in Malaysia is progressing toward having clothes dryers as essential household equipment. major problems with the commercially available dryer are high-power consumption and possible damage to environment. This study aims mitigate these issues an eco-friendly heat pump dryer. principle derived based on waste from condenser side of indoor air conditioner units. anal...
