background and objective: reduced fat cheese often exhibits poor sensory quality due to the reduction of fat, which plays a critical role in flavor and texture. therefore, there is the challenge to produce a reduced fat cheese with improved sensory attributes and texture that is also comparable to its full-fat counterpart. the main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of dif...

We develop an analytical model for the thermal boundary conductance between a solid and a gas. By considering the thermal fluxes in the solid and the gas, we describe the transmission of energy across the solid/gas interface with diffuse mismatch theory. From the predicted thermal boundary conductances across solid/gas interfaces, the equilibrium thermal accommodation coefficient is determined ...

Heat transfer phenomena in batch fluidized bed dryer have been studied and analyzed using three phase model including solid phase, interstitial gas phase and bubble phase based on Rizzi model. New correlations of heat transfer coefficient to surrounding and convection heat transfer coefficient between solid and interstitial gas are being proposed. In addition, some modifications have been d...

A two fluid model (TFM) was used to study gas-solid heat transfer in a riser with different inclination angles. A two dimensional pipe with 5.8 cm internal diameter and 5 meter length was chosen.  Effect of bed angle and solid particles feed rate were studied on the heat transfer behavior of gas and solid particles. Obtained results from simulation are compared with the experimental data in the...

the direct sulfation of three high purity iranian limestones and one precipitated calcium carbonate from different sources, containing more than 97 % caco3, were studied in a specially designed fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure, in the presence of excess co2 to prevent decomposition of caco3. experiments were carried out over a range of particle sizes from 1.6-2.5  mm at four tempera...

background and objectives: the addition of plasticizers (mainly phthalates and adipates) makes plastic flexible and popular for packaging, storing and preserving food, water, and so on. the most widely used plasticizer in food contact applications is di-ethylhexyl phthalate (dehp) though being suspected to have carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. the aim of this study is application of magn...

carbon disulfide is used predominantly in the manufacture. it has affects the nervous system. in this study, the applicability of spme as a passive sampler for determination of carbon disulphide in air was studied. effect of sampler and environmental parameters on uptake of carbon disulphide was studied as well. four fibers were tested to select the best sampler for determine carbon disulfide i...

The heats of adsorption on weakly activated ^-aluminium oxide for a number of linear alkanes (from n-butane to n-nonane) and for 2.2.4-trimethylpentane have been determined by GSC and extrapolated to zero surface coverage. The dependance of the adsorption energy on the number of carbon atoms is discussed on the basis of the bidimensional gas model: it is shown that the interactions of the adsor...

The outline of this chapter is as follows: *.1 will show some application areas together with the number of types of reactors available for carrying out gas-solid catalyzed reactions. Section *.2 will focus on the kinetic models suitable for describing these reactions. Section *.3 will show how to set up the reactor models and will also show the mass transport interactions need to be modeled. T...
