Ionizing radiation effectively reduces the number of common microbial pathogens in fresh produce. However, the efficacy of the process for pathogens internalized into produce tissue is unknown. The objective of this study was to understand gamma irradiation of lettuce leaf structure exposed in a Cs irradiator using MCNP. The simulated Cs irradiator is a self-shielded device, and its geometry an...

To investigate the gas agitation characteristics of side blowing, fluid flow and mixing phenomenon in a 1:3 scale model ladle 150 t industrial gas-stirred with bottom plugs were studied by using physical numerical modelings together. Side blowing enhanced horizontal water ladle. Compared that is close to more than two increases average velocity water, which represents power, improves uniformity...

infiltration in furrow irrigation is 2-d which depends on both time and surface characteristics at which infiltration occurs. however, in many furrow irrigation models, infiltration is determined as a function of infiltration time opportunity, assuming the variation of weted perimeter is low along furrow. in order to compare the proposed asumptions, two zero-inertia furrow irrigation models wer...

todays, productivity and efficiency of irrigation have been in the center of the many water-related issues. by using sprinkler irrigation systems in addition to watering easier and automatic, that is a device for raising water application uniformity and efficiency which ultimately will save water consumption and production increase. in this study, four fixed irrigation systems of khorramabad ci...

The center pivot irrigation system is a type of technology used to apply water effectively and uniformly over wide variety areas topographies. These systems’ uniformity application greatly affects use, energy consumption, crop production. Performance tests the standard lateral galvanized modified polyethylene plastic pipes in systems were conducted different regions Saudi Arabia. Water distribu...
